Dear friends of All About Life and Leadership,
For the past two years, I’ve shared a weekly tip with you — in this newsletter, on my blog, and in my podcast. Small, practical impulses on how we lead ourselves and the people around us.
Today I’m glad to tell you: those tips now live between two covers.
My new book Lead with Heart and Mind is out.
What it’s about
Great leadership doesn’t start with strategy. It starts with you.
In a working world of constant pressure, endless meetings, and accelerating AI, the leaders who stand out are the ones who stay fully human — present, clear, and genuinely connected to their people.
Lead with Heart and Mind distills more than 40 years of business experience and a decade of executive coaching into 64 short, practical chapters you can open anywhere and apply today. Each one is designed to be read in a few minutes and practiced for a lifetime:
Leading yourself first — presence, focus, and the inner calm that makes better decisions possible
Building teams that perform — psychological safety, trust, feedback, and shared purpose
Handling conflict and setting boundaries — without drama, blame, or burnout
Leading with heart and mind — the new leadership for an age of automation and AI
This is not another leadership theory book. It’s a practice book — questions, exercises, and small steps that create lasting change in how you lead and how your team works together.
If you’ve valued these weekly tips, the book is the whole journey in one place: something to return to again and again.
Where to get it
The book is available in three ways:
Kindle e-book — read it anywhere, on Amazon.
Paperback on Amazon — the printed edition, delivered to your door.
Paperback directly from me — if you’d like a copy sent to you personally (and I’m happy to sign it), just write to me at alexander.schwedeler@pm.me and I’ll take care of the rest.

A small ask
If the book speaks to you, the kindest thing you can do is leave a short review on Amazon. Reviews are how other leaders discover a book like this — and every honest word genuinely helps.
Thank you for reading, for practicing, and for leading with both heart and mind.
Warmly, Alexander Schwedeler
Keep leading consciously.
