Her teachings continued in my reading of this book.

They say, “We all have a story to tell,” and Amy is certainly no exception. Amy’s vulnerability and courage to share is truly impressive. I was deeply moved by how she was able to face and overcome many challenges in her life. Rather than hiding her struggles she embraced them, showing us that even the greatest of obstacles can be overcome.

The story of her journey has helped me unlock some of my own stories and given me insights that I had lost sight of. Additionally, her book has helped my youngest daughter by giving her perspective and inspiration as she navigates her own life’s adventures.

Michael Horwitz, Executive Director, BDO Alliance USA

“Amy Vetter’s Disconnect to Connect is overflowing with thoughtful insights on balancing “business” with “bliss”; this is particularly relevant in today’s evolving professional services environment. Her personal story is truly inspiring, and her ability to bring awareness to her own vulnerability provides ample opportunities for the reader to reflect on ways to be more mindful and present in their own daily lives. I am a better person for having read Amy’s book, and aspire to implement many of Amy’s best practices. Namaste.”

Keith Bernardo, Ph.D, Clinical Psychologist

"Through personal narrative and sound psychological science, Amy Vetter helps illuminate how the stories we often inhabit impact how we witness our experience of ourselves, others, and the world around us. Through understanding this impact, we can live more authentically and with greater compassion toward both ourselves and those we encounter along this journey. And her use of practical exercises at each chapter’s end helps deepen our understanding of her teachings."
