Introduction
Summary of the Book The Practice of Groundedness by Brad Stulberg Before we proceed, let’s look into a brief overview of the book. Picture standing in a forest of towering redwood trees. They have soared upward for centuries, yet their true strength lies below, in intertwined roots that hold them steady. Now imagine living your life with that same inner steadiness—calm, confident, and deeply secure. This book reveals how to develop those roots within yourself. Through personal stories, thoughtful principles, and practical steps, you’ll learn how to accept reality, live fully in the moment, be patient with your progress, share your true self, lean on a caring community, and move your body to anchor your mind. Instead of measuring your worth by endless goals, you’ll discover a more balanced and fulfilling path. Dive in, and find new courage to face challenges, build genuine connections, and stand firm as life’s winds blow around you.
Chapter 1: Unmasking the Myth of Heroic Individualism to Escape Endless Exhaustion and Strain.
Imagine feeling like no matter how hard you try, you are never doing enough. You might score good grades, excel in sports, or show talents that earn you praise from teachers, friends, or family, yet deep inside there’s a voice whispering that it’s still not sufficient. This voice urges you to be faster, smarter, and more successful. It tells you that your worth is measured by how much you achieve and how constantly you can outperform yourself. This kind of mindset pushes you to run faster on a never-ending track, always chasing a prize that lies just out of reach. Over time, this attitude can leave you feeling burned out, dissatisfied, and strangely empty. You might seem to shine on the outside, but inside you feel restless, exhausted, and worried you’ll never catch up.
This pattern of endlessly chasing perfection, achievement, and external success has a name. It can be called heroic individualism. At first, it sounds inspiring: heroic suggests bravery, while individualism suggests confidence in your personal strength. But when we dig deeper, heroic individualism isn’t about true heroism; it’s actually about constant measuring of yourself against nearly impossible standards. You keep pushing, trying to stand tall like a mighty tower, forgetting that towers with weak foundations collapse easily. People trapped in heroic individualism feel they must never slow down or admit weakness. They worry that if they pause to breathe, someone else will race ahead, or their worth will vanish. Over time, this relentless pushing makes life feel like a treadmill that speeds up the moment you think you’ve hit your stride.
One person who learned this lesson the hard way was Brad Stulberg. He seemed successful—respected in his field, a published author, and an advisor to top performers. Yet behind the scenes, he suffered mentally. He battled severe intrusive thoughts and felt a heavy weight pressing on his mind. Despite having everything that should have brought happiness, he found himself sinking into despair. Why? Because he had embraced heroic individualism so tightly that his inner life could not breathe. Stress, anxiety, and obsessive thoughts crept in, showing that the shiny surface of achievement can hide deep cracks. In other words, just because someone looks strong and successful on the outside doesn’t mean they’re not hurting on the inside. His painful journey forced him to question everything he believed about success and strength.
By exploring Stulberg’s experience, we learn that heroic individualism doesn’t just make you tired; it can harm your mind and soul. Constantly pushing to be better without rest and reflection leads to feelings of emptiness. When every moment is spent trying to reach an invisible finish line, life becomes a race you cannot win. Instead of feeling fulfilled, you feel hollow. Instead of feeling calm, you become anxious. Instead of enjoying your achievements, you only notice what’s missing. Recognizing this problem is the first step toward a better way of living. It’s not about giving up on goals. It’s about understanding that true fulfillment can’t be found in endless striving. By unmasking heroic individualism, we set the stage for a more balanced and genuinely satisfying approach to life.
Chapter 2: Discovering the Quiet Power of Deep Roots in a World Obsessed with Heights.
Imagine a giant tree stretching toward the sky, its trunk thick and strong, its branches reaching wide, and its leaves shimmering in the sun. From the outside, all we see is its towering height and beautiful canopy. We marvel at how tall it stands and how firmly it endures storms. But the real secret to its strength lies hidden underground. Its roots spread out, intertwining with the soil and with other trees, creating a stable base that keeps it steady through fierce winds and heavy rains. Without those roots, even the tallest tree would topple over. This simple truth holds a powerful lesson: true strength and resilience come not from chasing endless growth upward, but from nurturing what lies beneath the surface—your grounding values and stable foundations.
Just as trees rely on their roots, people also need something steady to hold onto. While heroic individualism tells us to keep reaching higher and working harder, focusing only on achievements and external success, real inner stability comes from being grounded. Being grounded means developing strong roots inside ourselves. These roots might be our values, family ties, close friendships, personal beliefs, or meaningful activities that connect us to something bigger than fleeting accomplishments. Instead of always looking upward toward new goals, we can look inward to find what truly matters. This inner stability helps us withstand challenges without collapsing. It means that no matter how strong life’s winds blow, we remain balanced, confident, and secure in who we are and what we stand for.
When Brad Stulberg found himself trapped in storms of intrusive thoughts and crushing mental pressures, he realized that his approach to life was missing a key element. He had focused on growth at any cost, measuring himself by external markers like recognition and success. Only when he paused and looked at nature—at the tall, ancient redwood trees—did he see the wisdom they held. The redwoods do not stand tall because they force themselves ever upward; they stand tall because they are deeply rooted, often linking their roots with other redwoods around them. By observing these trees, he understood that he needed to cultivate his own inner roots if he wanted to remain steady through life’s inevitable storms.
This discovery paved the way toward a new perspective: rather than continuing the endless climb, why not strengthen the foundation beneath your feet? By focusing on strong roots—your core values, meaningful relationships, and purposeful actions—you create a life that doesn’t crumble under stress. You become like a stable tree, able to weather hardships without feeling like you must break. This doesn’t mean you stop growing or aiming high. It means you grow more wisely. Instead of measuring yourself solely by achievements, you measure by how closely you live to your values, how well you care for your well-being, and how much support you both give and receive from your community. In short, you focus on what truly matters and stand taller, steadier, and calmer than ever before.
Chapter 3: Accepting Today’s Reality as the First Step Toward a Better Tomorrow.
Imagine you’re facing a tough challenge—maybe you’ve failed a test, had a fight with a friend, or felt anxious thoughts swirling in your mind. The natural urge might be to deny these feelings, pretending they don’t exist, or to wish them away instantly. You might also try to fight them as hard as you can, telling yourself you shouldn’t feel this way and that you must fix things right now. But what if the key to moving forward isn’t to resist these feelings or pretend they’re gone? What if you simply allow yourself to recognize them calmly? Accepting reality doesn’t mean you like it or plan to stay in it forever. It just means seeing it clearly, without panic, so you can take your next step with greater wisdom.
When Brad Stulberg experienced intrusive, distressing thoughts, he tried every trick to push them away. He told himself they weren’t real. He tried to will them out of existence, thinking that if he was strong enough, he could force his mind to obey. But the harder he fought, the more powerful these thoughts became. This struggle shows that fighting directly against a problem can sometimes give it more power. It’s like trying to escape a Chinese finger trap: the more you pull and panic, the tighter it grips. Only by stopping the struggle and relaxing your approach do you find a way forward. In the same manner, acceptance of your current emotional state can loosen the tight grip of negative thoughts, allowing you to plan your next move more calmly.
Acceptance doesn’t mean giving up or surrendering to an unfortunate fate. It’s not about saying, This terrible situation is fine. Instead, it’s about looking at your situation honestly and saying, This is where I am right now. I wish it were different, and I want to make it better. By removing words like should and must, you reduce extra layers of stress. Instead of thinking, I should never feel this sad, you think, I feel sad now, and I’d like to understand why. Instead of I must not fail, you think, I have failed this time, and I will work to improve. Acceptance opens the door to realistic solutions because it removes panic and denial. It’s like turning on a light in a dark room so you can find a way out.
This principle of acceptance is the first root of groundedness. Without it, you can’t build the other principles on top. When you accept your thoughts, feelings, and the facts of your current situation, you gain a clear starting point. From there, you can develop a path forward. Perhaps you’ll seek help from a mentor or friend, try a new coping strategy, or set more realistic goals. Perhaps you’ll learn something important about yourself along the way. Acceptance doesn’t remove difficulties, but it changes how you face them. Instead of acting like a sailor who refuses to admit a storm is coming, you acknowledge the storm and prepare your boat. In doing so, you become calmer, stronger, and readier to navigate toward a brighter future.
Chapter 4: Embracing Presence and Patience to Nurture Growth That Truly Endures.
Think of your attention like a precious resource that makes things grow. Wherever you focus your mind is where you water your life. If your attention is scattered—tugged by endless notifications, piled-up tasks, and countless worries—you end up sprinkling a little bit of water everywhere, never giving one place the nourishment it needs. As a result, nothing grows deep and strong. Real change and meaningful achievements happen when you choose carefully where to place your attention. This means being fully present, truly experiencing the moment you’re in and giving it your energy. Whether you are studying, talking with a friend, or enjoying quiet time alone, let yourself be right there, not half-lost in thoughts of the past or future. This presence helps your seeds of purpose sprout robust roots.
In today’s world, it’s tempting to try to do a hundred things at once. Our culture often prizes being busy, encouraging us to run from task to task without resting. But this can make us feel rushed, scattered, and drained. If we give ourselves the gift of focusing on just a few things that truly matter, we give them the attention they need to grow into something solid and meaningful. For example, if you are learning a new skill, dedicating uninterrupted, focused time to it each day, even if it’s brief, will help you improve more than constantly switching tasks. By trimming unnecessary commitments and resisting the urge to check messages every few minutes, you create a peaceful mental space. In that space, your growth can unfold naturally.
Patience is closely linked to presence. Just like plants need time to root and bloom, meaningful goals and personal changes need patience to grow. If you rush too much, you risk injury, frustration, or giving up halfway. The real skill lies not in how quickly you can reach your goal, but in how steadily you can make progress. When you slow down and trust the process, you actually become more effective. For example, athletes who push themselves too hard, too fast, often burn out or get hurt. Those who train steadily and give their bodies time to adapt often become much stronger in the long run. By embracing patience, you turn away from the frantic chase for instant results and accept the beautiful reality that good things take time.
Together, presence and patience help you stay grounded. They teach you to focus your attention where it counts and to allow growth to happen at a natural pace. Instead of living like a restless traveler always looking at the next stop, you learn to appreciate the journey itself. This doesn’t mean giving up on ambition. It means pairing ambition with wisdom, so you don’t waste your energy in endless, unfulfilling sprints. As you accept reality, become present, and practice patience, you give yourself the best chance to achieve meaningful and lasting results. You work with life’s rhythms rather than constantly fighting against them. In doing so, you create a steady path toward what matters most, feeling calmer and more confident as you move forward.
Chapter 5: The Courage in Vulnerability—Revealing True Strength by Showing Your Real Self.
Many people believe that strength means never showing weakness. They think being tough requires hiding fears, struggles, and doubts. We live in a world where social media is full of perfect images and success stories. It’s easy to believe that everyone else has it all together and that you should too. But when you pretend everything is always fine, you create a heavy burden. You carry stress and sadness alone, afraid to let anyone see what’s really going on inside. Over time, this pretense can make you feel isolated and anxious. True courage, however, comes not from pretending that you’re perfect, but from daring to be honest about who you really are—the good and the bad, the successes and the struggles.
When Brad Stulberg decided to share his struggles with obsessive thoughts, he felt terrified. He wondered: Would people think less of him? Would they see him as weak? But when he finally opened up, he found that others respected his honesty. More importantly, this honesty freed him from the crushing weight of pretending. To his surprise, he received messages from many people who had similar struggles and who felt relieved to know they weren’t alone. Admitting vulnerability didn’t destroy his reputation—it strengthened his human connection with others. By showing his true self, he created space for more genuine understanding and deeper relationships. This experience proves that vulnerability, far from being a flaw, can be the source of real emotional strength.
Vulnerability can take many forms. It might mean admitting that you’re scared before an important event, telling someone you trust about a personal difficulty, or seeking help when you feel overwhelmed. Vulnerability isn’t about spilling every secret to everyone. It’s about allowing yourself to be seen as a whole human being, not a flawless image. Instead of feeling ashamed of your imperfections, you accept them as part of your story. Showing vulnerability might feel risky at first, but it often leads to greater trust, empathy, and support from others. It also helps break the illusion that everyone else is perfect. When you share honestly, others may feel safe to share too, creating a sense of relief and unity.
True strength emerges when you accept yourself fully, including your weaker moments. By doing so, you empower yourself to seek help, learn from mistakes, and grow emotionally. Vulnerability lets in fresh air. It clears space for authentic friendship, family closeness, and real understanding between people. This principle helps you break free from heroic individualism, which would have you pretend you’re a superhuman, unaffected by doubt or pain. In reality, we all face struggles. By admitting this, we can stop wasting energy on a false front and start investing our energy in healing, learning, and improving. Vulnerability transforms weakness into wisdom, isolation into connection, and fear into courage. Once you embrace vulnerability, you find an unshakable kind of strength—one that holds up even in the darkest storms.
Chapter 6: Weaving a Web of Support—Building Community to Strengthen Your Roots.
Imagine standing alone in a wide-open field, facing a powerful wind. It’s hard to stand upright when powerful gusts threaten to knock you down. Now imagine you’re standing among a group of friends who link arms with you as the wind blows. Suddenly, you feel steadier because their strength supports you. Humans are social beings, and much like the roots of giant redwood trees that interlock underground, people’s well-being grows stronger when connected to others. This idea counters the myth of heroic individualism, which suggests you must do everything by yourself. In reality, strong communities help everyone remain stable, resilient, and grounded through life’s challenges. Instead of struggling in silence, you find comfort, advice, and encouragement among those who truly understand you.
Today, people often feel lonely even when surrounded by crowds. Technology may keep us constantly connected, but these connections can feel shallow or rushed. The kind of community that grounds you is deeper. It might be a group of friends who meet regularly, a family that shares honest conversations, a supportive online forum where people truly listen, or a local club where members encourage each other’s progress. The point is not how large the group is, but how genuinely people care. When you belong to such a group, you gain more than just company. You gain a sense of belonging that reminds you you’re not facing life’s difficulties alone. Everyone leans on each other, creating a strong web that can withstand even strong emotional winds.
For Brad Stulberg, writing about his struggles turned out to be a way of connecting with others who felt similar pain. In response to his honesty, readers wrote to him, sharing their own experiences. This created a bridge of understanding and showed him that, like redwood trees linking their roots, people could link their lives. Community makes acceptance, presence, patience, and vulnerability easier. When you know others face similar battles, you feel less shame and more courage. When you trust that others will listen, you have room to express yourself honestly. Good communities help you develop healthier habits and offer gentle reminders to stay on track. Over time, these relationships strengthen the root system of your life, providing nourishment and stability you cannot achieve alone.
Building community may feel challenging. You might think you lack the time or worry people won’t understand you. But even small steps count. Joining a local sports team, starting a study group, volunteering in your neighborhood, or attending a music club are ways to find like-minded people. Give community-building consistent effort and be patient. Show up, listen, share, and be honest. You’ll begin to notice how others appreciate your authenticity. As these connections deepen, you’ll find yourself more resilient and hopeful. Community doesn’t promise a life without problems, but it promises you won’t face them alone. Like a forest of interconnected trees, a group of supportive people can offer mutual strength, reminding each individual that they’re part of something bigger, stronger, and truly meaningful.
Chapter 7: Mind and Body in Harmony—Using Movement to Anchor Your Mental Well-Being.
Have you ever noticed how moving your body—running, walking, dancing, or playing—can lift your mood? Our bodies and minds are closely linked. When we move, we create chemical changes in our brains that can reduce anxiety, improve focus, and lighten our spirits. Exercise isn’t just about physical health or fitting a certain image; it’s also about mental balance and emotional steadiness. Just like your mind affects your body—making your heart race when you’re nervous—your body can affect your mind, calming jittery thoughts with steady movement. If you feel stuck in worry or stress, sometimes a brisk walk or a short workout can help clear the mental clutter, making it easier to think clearly and face life’s challenges.
Andrea Barber, known for her role as Kimmy Gibbler on Full House, found that running helped her manage depression and anxiety more than anything else. For her, and for many others, moving wasn’t just exercise—it was therapy. Through consistent movement, she discovered a way to release tension, quiet her racing thoughts, and find a calmer version of herself. Whether it’s yoga, jogging, swimming, or dancing in your bedroom, choosing a physical activity you enjoy can become a reliable tool for feeling grounded. When you exercise, you aren’t just working your muscles; you’re teaching your mind to handle stress, focus on the present moment, and grow stronger against life’s headwinds.
Movement helps integrate the principles of groundedness. When you accept the discomfort of pushing your body a bit further, you learn to accept life’s other challenges, too. When you stay present during a workout—counting your breaths, feeling your muscles, noticing your posture—you train your mind to remain in the moment elsewhere. Patience comes into play when you work toward fitness goals gradually instead of demanding instant improvements. Vulnerability can appear when you try a new sport or admit you need guidance, while community can form when you join a running group, sports team, or fitness class. By tying movement into your daily routine, you nurture both body and mind, helping them support each other for greater overall resilience.
In a world that often encourages sitting behind screens, choosing to move is a powerful statement. It says, I value my health and my peace of mind. You don’t need fancy equipment or a perfect setting. A walk in the park, a bike ride around the block, or simple stretches in your living room can make a positive difference. Consistent physical activity fosters a balanced internal environment, making it easier to handle stressful moments. As you become more physically active, notice how your thoughts shift. You might feel calmer, clearer, and more confident. Over time, movement strengthens the link between body and mind, ensuring that when life’s storms blow, you have another reliable root helping you remain steady and grounded.
Chapter 8: Putting It All Together—Integrating Grounded Principles into Daily Life.
So far, we’ve explored acceptance, presence, patience, vulnerability, community, and movement. Each principle strengthens your life’s roots, helping you stay steady amid challenges. But how do you put all these ideas into practice at once? It might feel like juggling many balls in the air. One helpful approach is to remember that these principles support each other naturally. As you start working on one—like focusing on presence—you’ll often find it easier to adopt another—like patience. Over time, they become part of a balanced approach that makes life more meaningful. Each day, you have choices: Will you face reality calmly? Will you pay full attention to what matters? Will you show vulnerability when it can help you grow? By making these choices consistently, you weave the principles into your lifestyle.
Try starting small. Pick one principle and make a simple commitment. Maybe you promise to take a short walk every day to connect with your body. After a while, add another principle, like practicing acceptance when you catch yourself thinking, I shouldn’t feel this way. Replace should with I feel this way, and I’d like to understand it. Or maybe you decide to spend ten minutes each day completely disconnected from screens, giving your full attention to a favorite activity or conversation. Gradually, these small habits grow into bigger changes, shaping your mindset. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by all the principles at once, think of them as seeds. Plant one, water it with practice, and when it’s rooted, plant another. Over time, you’ll have a flourishing garden of groundedness.
Remember that integrating these principles isn’t a race. There’s no prize for finishing first. Each step you take toward groundedness supports a life that’s richer in meaning, calmer in tough times, and more joyful overall. If you stumble, get discouraged, or return to old habits, be kind to yourself. Making big life changes takes time and patience. Celebrate small victories: noticing you got through a stressful moment by accepting it rather than denying it, or feeling proud that you reached out to a friend instead of suffering silently. Over weeks and months, these gradual shifts become your new normal. Bit by bit, you’ll feel stronger inside, better able to handle challenges, and more at peace with who you are and where you’re heading.
As all principles come together, you’ll notice a more balanced way of living. Instead of feeling like a lone tower battling fierce winds, you’ll feel more like a well-rooted tree, steady and secure. You’ll understand that real success doesn’t depend on constant striving for more; it comes from nurturing what matters, being honest about your struggles, and leaning into supportive communities. You’ll see that presence, patience, and acceptance empower you to grow at a pace that’s right for you. Vulnerability adds depth to your relationships and self-understanding. Movement helps your mind and body stay connected and healthy. Over time, these combined effects form a powerful approach to life: you become grounded, resilient, and able to face challenges without losing your sense of purpose and peace.
Chapter 9: Maintaining Balance as You Navigate Challenges and Changes Over Time.
Life is not a problem you solve once and for all. It’s more like a journey with winding paths, unexpected turns, and shifting landscapes. Even if you become grounded now, you’ll encounter new challenges later—changes in relationships, career ups and downs, health hurdles, or shifts in your personal goals. The principles of groundedness are designed to help you handle these ongoing waves. By integrating acceptance, presence, patience, vulnerability, community, and movement into your life, you create a toolbox that you can rely on over and over again. When new troubles arise, you won’t have to start from zero. You’ll already know how to face reality calmly, focus on what matters, open up to trusted friends, and move your body to clear your mind.
This doesn’t mean you’ll never feel stressed, sad, or uncertain again. Groundedness isn’t a magic shield against discomfort, but it changes your relationship with hardship. Instead of seeing problems as personal failures or reasons to panic, you see them as part of life’s natural flow. With each difficulty, you have the chance to practice your principles again, strengthening them like muscles. Over time, you gain confidence in your ability to handle whatever comes your way. And even when you falter, you know how to regain your footing. Remember, groundedness is not about perfection. It’s about resilience—the capacity to keep going, growing, and learning without losing yourself along the way. This resilience makes the ups and downs of life feel less like threats and more like opportunities to refine who you are.
Consider how these principles can guide you through a tough period, like changing schools or facing an important exam. First, accept the situation: this change is happening, and you feel nervous. Next, be present: focus on one day at a time, one task at a time. Then, practice patience: don’t expect mastery overnight. Embrace vulnerability: share your worries with a friend, family member, or counselor rather than hiding them. Seek community: join study groups or clubs where others support and encourage you. Finally, keep your body moving: exercise to relieve tension, clear your head, and energize yourself. By following these steps, you transform a stressful event into a learning experience that helps you grow stronger and more confident.
As challenges pass and your life continues, you’ll notice the cycle repeating. New tasks, new goals, and new dreams appear. At each stage, groundedness equips you to move forward with calm determination. You’ll find that you can apply these principles in different areas of your life—school, work, friendships, family, hobbies—making each more meaningful and less stressful. You might look back one day and marvel at how much you’ve grown, not because you chased endless perfection, but because you learned to live fully, steadily, and authentically. Through it all, these principles remain steady lights guiding you through life’s changing landscapes, helping you navigate with confidence and maintain balance in an ever-evolving world.
Chapter 10: Sustaining Your Groundedness—Becoming the Steady Tree Amid Life’s Endless Winds.
Groundedness isn’t a destination you reach and then forget; it’s a lifelong practice. Just as healthy eating isn’t something you do once, living a grounded life requires continuous care. As you grow older, your priorities may shift, your relationships evolve, and your dreams change. Each new phase presents a chance to revisit and deepen your principles. Think of your groundedness like a garden. Even once it’s flourishing, you still need to water the plants, pull weeds, and protect it from harsh weather. This ongoing attention keeps your roots strong. With time, taking these steps becomes natural, and you find yourself able to weather not just ordinary days but also storms that might have knocked you down in the past.
Sometimes, you might drift away from your grounded practices. Maybe you get caught up in a hectic schedule, become distracted by trivial things, or forget to pause and reflect. When you notice this drift, treat it not as a failure but as a reminder to return to what matters. You can always come back to acceptance, presence, patience, vulnerability, community, and movement. These principles are never lost; they are always within reach if you choose to reconnect. Over the years, you’ll gain experience in spotting when you’ve strayed. You’ll learn how to guide yourself back, just as a skilled sailor knows how to adjust the sails and find calm waters again.
Sustaining groundedness also means encouraging others to discover it. As you walk this path, you become an example for friends, family, or anyone who crosses your path. By showing calmness under pressure, honesty about struggles, and a balanced approach to success, you inspire others to reconsider their own habits. You become like one redwood tree helping others strengthen their roots. In this way, groundedness spreads through communities. Over time, you realize that living this way not only improves your own life, it contributes to a healthier environment for everyone around you. Your personal growth, kindness, and resilience become part of something bigger—a collective atmosphere of support and understanding.
In the end, groundedness helps you cultivate a life with meaning, depth, and real connection. Instead of chasing empty symbols of success, you pursue what truly matters to you. Instead of feeling alone in your struggles, you share them openly and find comfort in understanding ears. Instead of dashing from one goal to the next, you take the journey step by step, enjoying small victories and learning from setbacks. Over time, you feel a steady strength growing inside you, one that doesn’t fade when circumstances are tough. You’ve planted and nurtured your roots, and now they support you through every season. This is the gift of groundedness: not a life without storms, but a life in which you stand tall, steady, and true, no matter the weather.
