Book of the Month for January 2026

Learn the simple techniques you’ll need to approach your biggest challenges with confidence. Have you ever left a nerve-racking challenge and immediately wished for a do over? Maybe after a job interview, a performance, or a difficult conversation? The very moments that require us to be genuine and commanding can instead cause us to feel phony and powerless. Too often we approach our lives’ biggest hurdles with dread, execute them with anxiety, and leave them with regret.

“Presence feels at once concrete and inspiring, simple but ambitious — above all, truly powerful.” —New York Times Book Review
