The Story Behind the Book
"There once was a dog sitting on a nail."
A man sat on his porch watching his old hound dog moan and whimper. A neighbor walked over and asked what was wrong. "He's lying on a nail," the man said.
"Well, why doesn't he move?" the neighbor asked.
The man shrugged. "Doesn't hurt bad enough yet."
Most of us are that dog.
We know exactly what's hurting us. We can feel the nail — the job that's draining us, the relationship that's breaking us, the version of ourselves we keep promising to become. We just haven't decided it hurts enough to move.
Stand Up is the book that helps you move.
