Living Real by Camille Preston PhD

Living Real: Redefining Success, Presence, and Happiness

Success isn’t the problem. Disconnection is.

Living Real meets you in that quiet, unsettling space, the one where everything looks fine on the outside, but inside, something feels off. This is a book for the high-achieving, externally successful professionals who lie awake wondering, “Why doesn’t this feel better?”

This isn’t another self-help manual. It’s a wake-up call. An invitation to stop performing wholeness and start living it. Whether you’re navigating transition, confronting loss, or simply sensing that there’s more to life than the hustle, this book offers the space, language, and courage to Real - to feel fully, live deeply, and begin again.

Because the cost of staying numb is a life half-lived. And you were meant for more.

 
 
 

Create More Flow

In today’s over-wired world, we are expected to be always on and connected. But this expectation has consequences: Workplace engagement is at an all-time low and complaints about work-life balance are at an all-time high. Now, there’s a solution—flow.

Rewired

Rewired is for anyone who wants to work smarter, live better, and be purposefully productive. Rewired explains how an overuse of technology and its lingering effects–being overwired–are damaging our brains, our bodies, our personal and professional relationships, and our productivity. Rewired shows you how to unwire, to step back from technology to regain clarity and focus. It then teaches you how to rewire, set boundaries, and establish effective systems to be more productive and fulfilled, personally and professionally.

Rewired offers the skills and strategies to:
  • Balance your personal life with your professional goals.
  • Make the right choices and manage commitments to deliver results.
  • Improve critical cognitive skills, like focusing and filtering.
  • Leverage technology to solve and anticipate problems.
  • Be more present in your work and life.

Living Real is the kind of book you dog-ear, underline, and share with a friend. It's a much-needed guide to conscious living in unconscious times.

There are real benefits of Realing -- but you have to be willing to dig deep and engage yourself in this work. This books digs in at a specifically unsettling time, and I would recommend it to anyone looking to make meaning in what too often feels like an upside world. You will walk away from it feeling you are truly seeing things rightside up for the first time.

Living Real strips away the illusion that operational excellence has to come at the cost of personal well-being. Camille speaks directly to the overextended professionals who’ve built a life of achievement—and quietly wonder why it still doesn’t feel like enough. This book is a smart, introspective guide for recalibrating success from the inside out.

In a world that rushes us past pain and numbs emotion, Living Real invites us to slow down, feel fully, and engage more deeply. Camille reminds us that grief and discomfort are gateways to growth, clarity, and connection. This book is a call to stop hiding from the hard emotions and to start living more fully by embracing what is, in all its rawness and beauty.

Create More Flow offers timely advice for leaders looking for effective strategies to navigate our volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world.

Have you ever experienced a time when you were engaged in something and you were so absorbed that you completely lost track of time?  Do you remember how productive and efficient you were?  Can you imagine how much more productive and effective  we could all be if we could be in that state more of the time?  That state is what’s known as “flow” and  Dr. Camille Preston’s new book, Create More Flow, explains how you can create that space for yourself more often and more quickly.  Her work is based on recent research in neuroscience and  grounded by her own experience in creating more flow for herself and her executive clients.

“In Rewired, Dr. Preston illustrates that small consistent changes can have a big impact on our overwired lives. But where to start? This book skillfully guides us and offers practical, science-based approaches and strategies to these challenging choices. We are shown how these small changes can launch noticeable life improvement, restore satisfaction, and perhaps literally "rewire" us. As a clinical psychologist and working mother, I know these issues all too well and understand the alarming rate of distraction and anxiety that has accompanied the unprecedented cerebral demands of this modern information age. This work is timely, important, and not a moment too soon. I look forward to recommending this valuable resource to my patients, friends, and family.”

Can a book change your life? Absolutely. I use what I learned in Rewired every single day. Camille’s simple strategies for unplugging, recharging, and rewiring have helped me live and work with more purpose, more productivity, and more joy. I work better and smarter. I am more mindful. I am more present in my own life. I learned to set boundaries, to take time for myself, and to use technology the right way, so it doesn’t use me. Rewired rewired my life. I am so grateful to this wise woman!
