“Many professionals spend years operating in reactive patterns without realizing it. Better at Life helps leaders recognize those patterns, reset their priorities, and build a more intentional and fulfilling approach to work and life. This is a thoughtful and practical guide for anyone seeking clarity, meaning, and sustainable success.”

Ryan Estis, author and keynote speaker

“The joy of Better at Life is that there is never a set end point—the journey and the process of unfolding and improving are a constant that we don’t have to conquer. Indeed, Chris Mullen asks us to dig deeper, far beyond summiting superficial milestones, in order to make the most out of the time we have. Using the lens of negotiation to bring clarity to abstraction, Mullen seeks the best in us, for all of us.”

Julie Lancaster, author of Beyond Words: How Our Stories and Strategies Inspire Leadership Action

“The journey of life ultimately comes down to defining where you are, where you want to get to, and how you’re going to get there. Dr. Chris Mullen provides us with a fantastic tool kit for navigating the journey, and he also helps us make sure that it’s not just about the work that goes into it; it’s also about enjoying every step of the ride.”

Matt Ross, founder of One River School and author of Grow or Fold: Transform Yourself in Midlife and Beyond

“Most people aren’t struggling at work because they lack ambition. They’re overwhelmed by expectations and unsure what actually matters anymore. Better at Life helps leaders step back, make clearer decisions, and build a more sustainable way to work and live. Chris offers a practical path forward for people who want success without losing themselves in the process.”
