Better Man: 5 Things I Wish My Father Told Me

By the time we enter mid-life (ages 35-55) we have lived through many successes and failures! Mid-life is also the busiest time of our lives with many work, family and relationship commitments and challenges. These commitments and challenges can, at times, overwhelm our ability to learn from the past to build a better future.

In Better Man, Dr Pete shares some of his own journey through mid-life, and reflects on 5 things he wished he’d been able to learn from his father in his younger years:

1. Maintain Balance—Stay balanced and don’t sacrifice your own wellbeing in trying to please others

2. Stay Focused—Stay focused and don’t lose sight of your life strategy and legacy

3. Communicate Better—Be a better listener and a clear communicator

4. The Courage to Act—Don’t underestimate the need for courage and discipline in life

5. Be Forgiving—Be more forgiving of yourself and others

Dr Pete also provides a ‘First Aid Kit’ of 15 helpful insights to help manage the turmoil of mid-life and find greater clarity and direction.
