ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
“The Infinite Game” by Simon Sinek explores the concept of approaching life and business not as a finite competition with a clear end, but as an ongoing journey. Sinek contrasts finite games, where the goal is to win, with infinite games, where the objective is to keep playing and evolving. He argues that adopting an infinite mindset leads to long-term success, sustainable growth, and innovation. The book emphasizes leadership, ethics, and the importance of a clear, enduring purpose, encouraging organizations to prioritize people, trust, and resilience rather than short-term wins or profits.

Finding Safety in Your Nervous...

LCSW Deb Dana

Transform the way you feel by embedding more compassion, calm, and joy into your nervous system.Are you feeling dysregulated—anxious, overwhelmed, or shut down? Many of us are, and understandably so. Our bodies are constantly responding to cues of safety or danger, and we are powerfully impacted by each other’s emotional struggles, collective events, and the ever-changing nature of this imperfect world. The question is: Can we find our way back to a state of grounded, calm, openhearted connection with ourselves and others?In Finding Safety in Your Nervous System, Deb Dana provides a valuable blueprint for building resilience and finding safety through the many ups and downs of life. Drawing from the wisdom of Polyvagal Theory, she skillfully shows us how to become conscious navigators of our nervous system—inhabiting a comforting inner sanctuary where we can finally relax, connect, and breathe again. Each guided audio session offers valuable insights that invite us to:• Explore proven ways to tune into and befriend your nervous system, so you can feel safe, calm, and regulated, maybe for the first time in years.• Gain science-backed tools to move from “flight, fight, or freeze” survival mode into a sense of groundedness and emotional balance.• Discover what safety and “home” means to your nervous system and what sensations, cues, and practices can help you return there when you need it most.The beauty of this work is that it’s deeply personal. What brings safety to one person may not be the same for another. The invitation is to gently explore your own nervous system and notice, What helps me feel a little more anchored right now? With practice, you begin to recognize the pathways that bring you a felt sense of regulation. Instead of living at the mercy of stress and overwhelm, you’ll discover relief within the innate wisdom of your own body—guiding you back, again and again, to the steady ground of safety within.
