What If Gentleness Is the Stronger Move?

Gentleness and grit for everyday life.

Seven Days With St. Francis de Sales: Gentleness and Grit for Everyday Life

The Modern Trap

You know the pattern. Push harder. Demand more. Beat yourself up when you fall short. Repeat.It works, and it also kind of doesn't work. You get results. But you're exhausted. And somewhere along the way, your relentless drive started to feel less like strength and more like a trap you built yourself.There has to be another way.

There Is

Four hundred years ago, a young bishop walked into hostile territory. The region had been Protestant for sixty years. Catholic priests were banned. The population wanted nothing to do with him.Within four years, he had converted 40,000 people.His methods work as well in your own head as they did in the villages of the Chablais. Francis taught people how to stop being at war with themselves.Through patience. Kindness. Genuine connection. And a revolutionary understanding of how people actually change.

About Kevin Doohan

Kevin spent seven years as a public company Chief Marketing Officer and now coach executives on mindset.Kevin also coaches lacrosse every day, including high school varsity and recreational youth teams, serving 100+ players. The fields taught him that transformation is a daily practice. Show up, stay patient, do the work. That's what Francis de Sales taught too.Kevin left the Catholic Church for years before finding his way back. Since returning, he's become obsessed with the lives and teachings of the saints. He sees them as holy people worth imitating and brilliant teachers.This book grew from all of it: the boardroom pressure, the practice fields, my return to faith, and a conviction that Francis de Sales's wisdom belongs not just in seminaries, but in boardrooms, locker rooms, and living rooms.The Seven Days with a Saint series makes that wisdom accessible to anyone ready to receive it.
