Publisher's summary

One of the start-up world’s most in-demand executive coaches - hailed as the “CEO Whisperer” (Gimlet Media) - reveals why radical self-inquiry is critical to professional success and healthy relationships in all realms of life.

Jerry Colonna helps start-up CEOs make peace with their demons, the psychological habits and behavioral patterns that have helped them to succeed - molding them into highly accomplished individuals - yet have been detrimental to their relationships and ultimate well-being. Now, this venture capitalist turned executive coach shares his unusual yet highly effective blend of Buddhism, Jungian therapy, and entrepreneurial straight talk to help leaders overcome their own psychological traumas. Reboot is a journey of radical self-inquiry, helping you to reset your life by sorting through the emotional baggage that is holding you back professionally and, even more important, in your relationships.

Jerry has taught CEOs and their top teams to realize their potential by using the raw material of their lives to find meaning, to build healthy interpersonal bonds, and to become more compassionate and bold leaders. In Reboot, he inspires everyone to hold themselves responsible for their choices and for the possibility of truly achieving their dreams.

Work does not have to destroy us. Work can be the way in which we achieve our fullest self, Jerry firmly believes. What we need, sometimes, is a chance to reset our goals and to reconnect with our deepest selves and with each other. Reboot moves and empowers us to begin this journey.

This book cracked me wide open

As a former HR director and Director of a Nonprofit I recommend this book to all those looking to grow in their leadership and self. As the now CEO of only me I recommend this book to all who are looking to open their heart and get on the pathless path they were meant for. I can’t recommend this one enough. I will be listening to it again.

A different kind of leadership book.

"better humans make better leaders"
I really enjoyed this one. Definitely made me ask myself some hard questions.

This book changed my life.

Real talk. It opened my soul up to the human I am meant to be, the work I am meant to do and the adult I’m ready to become. Thank you Jerry.

Amazing

So deep and real. Must read no matter where you are in life, business or leadership.

A Must Listen...

If you’re a startup founder or ambitious person do yourself a favor and get this book now. Ambition can be a heavy load to carry and Jerry’s love, generosity and experience can help lighten your load. This book has helped me think more deeply about my life and uncover the obstacles I’ve placed in my way. There are tons of self-help books out there and I hesitate to call this one bc it’s not filled with false directions of how to live your life. Instead, it gives you questions and a helpful way to think about your life so you can discover YOUR OWN PATH. I’d also highly recommend his podcast Reboot.

Jerry Colona at his Finest

I've sometimes struggled with Jerry's podcasts, but he (we?) seemed to have grown up a lot in this book. Weaving his past and present with those of his clients to resolve and restore real-world breakdowns makes this book unforgettable. No theory, no BS. If you don't break and weep at some point, listen again.

Deeply centering & transformational!

I no longer feel disconnected by the questions, thoughts, and feelings that have been coming up when I am and when I feel alone.

Jerry’s life and the lives of the community Jerry shared in this book connected with me deeply.

The wisdom that Jerry has earned & aggregated with his journey and the wisdom of community are presented with clarity, grace, and rigor.

I grew up in traditional karate/ martial arts. The highest honor I can offer Jerry is that he has become a Shihan (sensei of sensei) and he has made “Reboot” a dojo for all us to live in.

Absolutely phenomenal audiobook and PDF tool.

Thank you Jerry and all that contributed to this centering & transformational gift.

The Path of our Lives

I loved how the author touched upon his life story to give us learnings. I loved the part where he mentioned “midwife the worrier to emerge” this is exactly what a coach dose rebirthing a new you and as a coach you your self are rebirth.
I related very much to the story it touched me so much I cried.
Simple yet powerful. I will surly recommend it to my clients.
Very grateful.

The future of real leadership

Alternative title - ‘making profitability sustainable and fun again’

We’re doomed to repeat our trauma in every area of our lives until it’s resolved and accepted. JC offers a great rendition of his journey to resolution, self knowledge and acceptance and how it could change the society we live in if business leaders have the strength to go places we all fear both emotionally and mentally.

For me the readers voice gave me the feeling he was about to cry at any moment so I put playback speed. on 1.5 X and my fear-of-crying trigger subsided considerably.
Well worth the read!
