Which cover for The Hostage Effect makes you stop scrolling? I’d be grateful if you could let me know your favorite: Option 1, 2, 3, or 4. Having spent decades as a detective and hostage negotiator, I’ve seen what happens when people lose all hope and agency. Today, that feeling is becoming a worldwide norm. This book is about that feeling. It’s an urgent look at how global events—from the state of our government to the systematic erosion of democracy—are impacting our daily lives and our mental space. But I wrote it to give you the upper hand. Consider it your essential guide to not just surviving, but thriving—a playbook for retaining your mental wellness and stepping confidently into a new, fulfilled life.
