When Strength Stops Working
Midlife, Maturity, and the Relational Awakening
The person who holds everything together. The one others lean on. The high-functioning, competent, reliable one.
That person has a quiet problem most self-help books never name: the very strength that built their life may be quietly limiting their closest relationships.
When Strength Stops Working traces five movements — The Awakening, The Unraveling, The Threshold, The Rewiring, and The Return — through the story of a man who had to live this before he could write it.
This is not a self-help checklist. It's a reckoning. And it's the most honest thing Russell Betts has ever written.
"You're not broken — you're patterned."
