The Half-Known Life

What Matters Most When You're Running Out of Time

I help people see their blind spots.

This book is about what we often see about our lives only in hindsight, and just how precious that time is. We are raised believing we’re accountants, or nurses, or parents, or business people, but we’re actually time traders. What can’t you see?

About The Author

Ryan Lindner

MS, PMP, CMS, SHRM-SCP

I build training & coaching programs to help companies scale and create environments conducive to professional development.

I’m also a personal development specialist who has worked as a behavioral coach for clients and top organizations all over the world. After two sudden, unexplained cardiac arrests at a young age, I began to explore different perspectives, learning to prioritize my own energy and time, and assisted clients to do the same.

For nearly 20 years, I’ve created training & coaching programs to help companies scale and their teams thrive. The pathway to success in an organization is paved with an understanding of its culture and how to create amazing learner experiences. It’s about knowing how to get the best from people, and this increases productivity, decreases turnover, but is rarely executed properly.

Book Synopsis

“I’m going down now,” I said to a young woman a few seconds before the darkness-my first cardiac arrest. As I returned to work as a behavioral coach, it became maddening to hear about all-consuming, everyday problems and misguided priorities while I fought to merely remain conscious.

The Half-Known Life challenges conventional thinking of success, identity, and personal change. Most often, truly profound change happens following events that shake someone to their core-a car accident, death of a family member, or cardiac arrest that pulls them into a moment of clarity. Priorities change when time becomes precious. Problems look different when you have no energy left to give them. Why wait until you’re burnt out or for a life-changing event to occur before getting real about your life? Who are you when all of the accolades and accomplishments are gone? What does how you manage your time say about what’s important to you-about what matters most? Get out of your head and get into your life, before it slips away.
