About this listen

Are self-doubt and other negative feelings living rent free in your mind?

Get Out of My Head is a lifeline for overwhelmed professionals seeking direction and tranquility in turbulent times, whether navigating daily stressors or experiencing defining moments.

Author M. Andrew McConnell, CEO of RENTED, INC., shows you it's possible to achieve clarity, make good decisions, and rise in your career, by illustrating that the human mind is not unlike real estate: adopting an owner's mindset can make all the difference.

Drawing on ancient Stoic philosophy, modern science, and remarkable stories of contemporary innovators in business, sports, and more, Get Out of My Head demonstrates how to effectively allocate your mental resources, set mental boundaries, and overcome challenges by seizing ownership of your own mind and channeling adversity as a vehicle for growth.

Beyond giving you the tools to set boundaries and develop better resilience—the remedy to chronic stress—Get Out of My Head shares the stories of high-achieving modern Stoics who have successfully reclaimed their headspace so that you, too, can transition from "mind rentership" to "mind ownership."

I can't get 'Get out of my Head' out of my head!

I have to admit to being unsure about this book in the beginning. A book about the Stoics and their wisdom from antiquity?! But I needn't have been concerned. Andrew McConnell skilfully weaves ancient knowledge and insight with modern day 21st century life, challenges and concerns. He introduces us to amazing leadership from our recent past and helps us see our own lives more clearly.

Of course it makes sense that we should have good control over our minds (but often we don't) and how we a portion their use. Renting out our minds for free, or otherwise, is one of the main tenants of the book and the author illustrates his points so clearly with context from his lived experiences.

I found the worksheets very helpful, particularly the REST worksheet. Recognise, Exert, Stop, Track. It helped me quantify and document what I probably already knew but seeing it down on paper brought it alive.
I would recommend this book to anyone interested in self knowledge and development, history and great leadership, the amazing thinkers/writers from 2 centuries ago and anyone who loves new ideas and concepts.

So much to get from this book
