What Readers and Experts Are Saying

Testimonial 9

"Dr. Goldstein delivers big results from little things. One breath at a time, he shows us how to let go of frustration and worry and find greater calm and happiness. Grounded in science, his writing is friendly and inviting, even as he offers a penetrating analysis of the deeper sources of overwhelm, helplessness, and worry so prevalent these days. Even better, he shows us what to do about it through his brilliant 4R model, with many examples and brief practices to change your brain for the better. It’s rare to find a book with this combination of heft, heart, and helpfulness - and I love it!”

“Most of the men I mentor optimize themselves physically with diet and exercise hacks outside the home. But inside the home, they are often disconnected emotionally from themselves, their wives, and their children. In Tiny Shifts, Dr. Elisha Goldstein provides a practical, easily accessible roadmap using the 4Rs to build what is most important for happiness and longevity: emotionally healthy relationships. No need to be overwhelmed. It just takes tiny shifts in thinking and responding to make huge changes. Tiny Shifts is one book I will be giving as a gift to those I care about most."
