Getting Grounded - Paperback

by Tommy Lorden (Author)

The world is changing faster than ever, but the foundations of a good life still endure.

In Getting Grounded, Tommy Lorden shares the lessons he most wants his own children to carry into adulthood. Through fifty-two short reflections, he offers timeless wisdom for navigating a world filled with distraction, uncertainty, and noise.

Drawing on his experiences as a father, husband, entrepreneur, attorney, and traveler, Lorden writes about gratitude, discipline, resilience, friendship, marriage, work, money, faith, forgiveness, purpose, and the everyday choices that shape our lives. Along the way, he shares mistakes, hard-earned lessons, humor, and practical questions that invite readers to reflect on their own lives.

This is not a formula for perfection. It is a reminder that character is formed through ordinary decisions, that attention matters, and that a good life is built one choice, one relationship, and one day at a time.

Written especially for young adults finding their way, Getting Grounded is also for the parents, grandparents, and mentors who want to give them something more lasting than advice: a foundation for life.

"You could spend decades wandering the self-improvement aisle of your local bookstore buying dozens of books, or you could simply read Getting Grounded, which synthesizes almost everything that really matters in life and puts it all at your fingertips."
