STEVE COHEN

BOOK

BEATING THE BLUES TODAY

The book is designed as a practical guide for anyone feeling "stuck" or overwhelmed, particularly high performers and healthcare professionals who feel they "should be fine" but are struggling with burnout. It centers on the idea that massive life changes aren't always necessary; instead, small, intentional shifts in mindset and physical movement can lead to significant breakthroughs.

The Power of "Today"
