Note: I was given access to read this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

The leadership pause is okay. It has its merits in how easy to remember and versatile the pause is and how it integrates easily with deep breathing exercises and other mindfulness practice. But it's also vague enough that it isn't saying much. There is also some "woowoo" stuff sprinkled in about "energy flows" that is not based in science. The quotes she gives from people who used the pause don't teach me anything. It's like they just focus on focusing and become successful.
If this book convinced me of anything it's to enroll my son in Aikido classes. ( )
