Today marks the one-year anniversary since my book ‘Survival Psychology – Escaping the Mind-traps of Survival Thinking‘ was launched, and it has been a wonderful journey the past 12 months.
People have shared how it has impacted not only their work life, but their life in a broader sense.
The feedback on the book has been very positive and hugely appreciated, including 26 5-STAR reviews on Amazon!
The book has helped leaders escape the 5 mind-traps shared in the book:
- Impostor Syndrome
- Defensive Mindset
- Ego
- Group Behaviour
- Negative Self-Talk
It has also enabled leaders to:
- Spot ‘Defensive Mindset’ in others
- Mitigate group or tribal behaviour
- Coach others out of comfort zones created by impostor syndrome
- Manage the egos of others and the toxic impact they can have

Here are just a few of the kind quotes provided by others:
“In a market saturated with leadership books, it’s refreshing to encounter one that doesn’t play on our feelings of inadequacy, on our need to constantly be and do better. Instead, Tony tells us ‘know you are good enough’.
Written with wisdom and compassion, one key take-away for me was the importance of being kinder to ourselves and acting as our own ‘best coach’.” Jacinda Read
“This book is one of those that you just cannot put down!
The principles are solid, it has actionable steps, and it offers brilliant examples that I guarantee everyone can relate to in one way or another. It has helped me tremendously, and I cannot thank the author enough. It’s one of those books you will come back to time and time again.” – Adey Stevenson
“I don’t read books – I’ve only ever read a handful in my life. I find books about leadership and people far too theoretical – I don’t see how any theory, law, policy or process can give you the answer when it comes to people.
Having said this, I’ve just finishing reading this book – and it was fantastic! It’s a practical book with useful techniques which people will go back to time and time again.” – Pete Colby!
“Reading this book has been like someone switching a lightbulb on in my brain! He gives just the right amount of background research and references to psychological studies, which adds credibility and ensures a smooth narrative.
The insights in this book have been so transformative for me, if I could, I’d buy a copy of this book for every manager I know!” – Lisa Gibbs

Our psychology and survival instinct can significantly hold us back from achieving all that we are capable of achieving.
