THE BOOK
The hardest thing you will ever do is not an ultramarathon or a boardroom standoff. It is the decision to stop performing and start living.

Hard is being serialized through the Root Astro Journal. Each chapter stands alone. Together, they build the case for a different kind of leadership — one that starts with stopping.

WHERE THE PROCEEDS GO
All proceeds from Hard: Building Your Inner Citadel go to two children’s charities, chosen on a single principle: catch them early, or catch them later, but do not give up.
BabyZone, founded by our partners at Blenheim Chalcot, intervenes at the earliest stage on the belief that the first years of a child’s life have the greatest effect on the rest of it. New Yorkers for Children picks up where early intervention couldn’t, supporting young people aging out of the welfare system into adulthood, the moment most institutions stop caring and the consequences begin.
Early or late, the question stays the same: will an adult show up. These two organizations are our answer.
COLOPHON
