Sometimes You Should be Late
A book about slowing down, reclaiming presence, and choosing what matters most
Coming Summer 2026
Our fast-paced world treats time like a test we’re always failing. Sometimes You Should Be Late is the reminder that what matters isn’t just when we show up, but how.
My Psychology Today article of the same name sparked a wave of resonance — and plenty of pushback. Since then, dozens of conversations have shown me that resisting the instinctual rush isn’t just a personal challenge, it’s a shared struggle.
In this chaotic moment, my hope is that the stories and practices in this book offer a way forward: helping us show up with more kindness, generosity, and care for ourselves and for one another.

Books aren’t written alone. If you have stories, challenges (!), or ideas, I’d love to hear from you.
