Creating Modern Clarity with Stoic Wisdom

De: Andrew McConnell

Narrado por: Andrew McConnell

Are self-doubt and other negative feelings living rent free in your mind?

Get Out of My Head is a lifeline for overwhelmed professionals seeking direction and tranquility in turbulent times, whether navigating daily stressors or experiencing defining moments.

Author M. Andrew McConnell, CEO of RENTED, INC., shows you it's possible to achieve clarity, make good decisions, and rise in your career, by illustrating that the human mind is not unlike real estate: adopting an owner's mindset can make all the difference.

Drawing on ancient Stoic philosophy, modern science, and remarkable stories of contemporary innovators in business, sports, and more, Get Out of My Head demonstrates how to effectively allocate your mental resources, set mental boundaries, and overcome challenges by seizing ownership of your own mind and channeling adversity as a vehicle for growth.

Beyond giving you the tools to set boundaries and develop better resilience—the remedy to chronic stress—Get Out of My Head shares the stories of high-achieving modern Stoics who have successfully reclaimed their headspace so that you, too, can transition from "mind rentership" to "mind ownership."

Life-Changing in the Most Practical Way

"Get Out of My Head" came to me at a time when my mind felt like it was constantly racing — overanalyzing work situations, replaying conversations, and stressing about things I couldn’t control. I didn’t realize just how much time I was spending stuck in my own head until this book gently but powerfully held up a mirror.

What I love most is how approachable and relatable the writing is. McConnell doesn’t just throw theories at you — he walks you through his own struggles, which made me feel seen. His insights into how we lose the present moment to overthinking hit me hard. But even more valuable were the practical tools he offers to re-anchor yourself in reality, and stop letting your thoughts hijack your emotions.

This book significantly changed my day-to-day life. I’m more aware when I’m spiraling into useless thought patterns, and I now have ways to pull myself out — whether it’s at work during a stressful meeting, or at home when I’m exhausted and my patience is thin with my toddler. It’s helped me show up as a more present parent, less reactive and more grounded. And at work, I’ve noticed I'm not as easily thrown off by things outside my control — which makes me feel more stable and productive.

If you often feel like your brain is stuck in overdrive, this book is a must-read. It doesn’t promise magic, but it offers something even better: clarity and control over your own mental landscape.

Excellent Listen!

Amazing storyteller and makes it easy to relate to own life. I walked away with many actionable ways to make improvements.
