The author

I write for people who
have to deliver
when it counts.

I'm Dr. Raúl Sánchez — a licensed clinical psychologist who has spent 28 years in the room with CEOs, founders, athletes, and fathers at the moment things get hard. My books are what I've learned there, written plainly enough to use tomorrow morning.

What leaders are saying

Dr. Raúl Sánchez with Ben Newman in Las Vegas
“
Dr. Raúl Sánchez has hit a home run with 'RESILIENT MIND.' In a world that is moving so fast and things seem so uncertain, WE all need to choose to be resilient. Dr. Sánchez shows us his proven PROCESS to help YOU embrace being uncomfortable and stay on the ATTACK one day at a time.

“
In this book Dr. Sánchez exposes his own personal journey and how he used it to form his mindset for dealing with spirituality, family, sports, education and his profession. Many times when I encounter these books it's theoretical; this book is different because it allows you to relate to Dr. Sánchez's personal experiences. I have watched Doc use this openness with players I have coached. His renewing mindset technique has helped them with many different challenges in life and in sport.

As a former head coach of Dr. Raúl Sánchez, I am honored to have the privilege of being one of the first readers of his work. Raúl was an important part of our on-the-field football program for five years at NDSU. While reading the detailed account of each of the steps taken by Raúl AND Stacey to overcome all the challenges, it put a lump in my throat many times. God's hand doesn't make things easy; He just makes them right.

QYou say resilience is a decision, not a mood. What do I actually do on the day I don't feel it?
A

You run the rep anyway. Feelings are data, not instructions. On the days you don't feel it, shrink the task until it's undeniable — one honest conversation, one pause at the door, one page. Consistency on the low days is what separates the top 9% from everyone else.

— Dr. Sánchez
QWhat does WAAT actually mean, and how do I use it with my kids?
A

WAAT is “What's Awesome About That” — the third step of the process. It isn't toxic positivity; it's directed attention. Your brain has a negativity bias and so does your child's. Naming one specific awesome thing out loud each night trains both brains to scan for what's working.
