Conquering Anxiety: Expert Leadership Lessons from a NY Times Bestselling Author | Laura Morton
10/04/23 • 24 min
Today on Start With a Win, Adam talks to Laura Morton, one of the top NY Times Bestselling authors in the world. He discusses Laura’s career, collaborations with celebrities and business leaders, and her shift towards writing more meaningful books. She emphasizes three criteria for taking on a book project: liking the person, genuinely believing in their message, and ensuring the project contributes positively to the world.
Laura shares insights from her documentary "Anxious Nation," which focuses on youth mental health and anxiety. She highlights the importance of understanding and supporting anxious children, recognizing the role parents play in their anxiety, and providing tools to manage anxiety rather than trying to cure it. She also mentions a special initiative to screen the documentary for free in October, coinciding with Mental Health Screening Month and Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Laura Morton is the author of over 60 books and a staggering 21 New York Times bestsellers,
with a wide range of celebrities and business leaders, including Justin Beiber, the Jonas Brothers, Joan Lunden, John Maxwell, Dave Liniger, Tom Ferry and Glenn Sterns, just to name a few. Laura has been involved in the entertainment industry for more than 25 years as a writer, producer, and entrepreneur. She is the co-director, producer and writer of the award-winning documentary film, Anxious Nation, now available for streaming on Amazon, Apple Tv and Anxiousnation.com
