Most people assume confidence, happiness, and success are things you either have or you do not have. They believe anxiety, depression, hopelessness, and even suicidal thoughts simply happen to certain unfortunate people while others are lucky enough to avoid them.
In START, psychiatrist Hans Watson, DO, challenges that assumption. Through the story of Alex, a young man struggling with severe anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts, you will discover how small daily decisions quietly shape the direction of your life and ultimately determine whether you become increasingly confident, capable, and fulfilled or increasingly anxious, discouraged, and stuck.
Using the Adversity Cycle framework, START explains how avoidance slowly erodes confidence, why meaningful accomplishment and healthy social connection are essential to happiness, and how repeated engagement with life's challenges builds resilience, self-esteem, and hope. Rather than offering quick fixes or empty motivational slogans, this book provides a practical roadmap for creating lasting change through consistent action over time.
Inside this book, you will learn:
• Why confidence is built rather than inherited
• How avoidance contributes to anxiety, depression, and hopelessness
• The role meaningful accomplishment and healthy relationships play in happiness
• Why small decisions matter more than dramatic breakthroughs
• How to build momentum when motivation fades
• What to do when you feel stuck, discouraged, or overwhelmed
• How to create a meaningful life regardless of where you started
Whether you are struggling with anxiety and depression or simply want to build greater confidence, happiness, and purpose, START provides a practical framework for moving your life in a better direction.
Your past influences you, but it does not have to define you.
Your future begins now.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
