I am immensely grateful for paid Provoked subscribers. It it enough of an incentive to constantly crank out new content regardless of what I’m working on:
Tackling purpose in life through the lens of Hitler’s (good & evil) passions.
Battling mental health stigma, detailing the triple risk factor for suicidality.

Yes, I am working on my next book (with a not-so-secret co-author), a children’s book with my youngest daughter, and a range of scientific investigations including a longitudinal exploration of what best helps military veterans transition into civilian life. How do you maintain a purpose in life in an entirely new environment? How do you recover from a major purpose in life that ran its course? So many questions that can only be answered from a deep qualitative and quantitative study over time.
