Recommendation

The Hollis Co. CEO Dave Hollis always thought of self-help as a crutch for “broken people.” Then his wife, best-selling author Rachel Hollis, embarked on a journey of personal growth and left him behind. As she continued to reach new heights and rack up successes, he wallowed in his mediocrity, unable to get unstuck.
