"Riding the Dragon gives the reader the chance to look for the lessons that are often hidden in our sorrows."--Goodreads reviewer

Twenty years and 70,000 copies after it was first released, Riding the Dragon--by popular author, speaker, and psychologist Robert J. Wicks--continues to help thousands each year to confront the "dragons" of stress, discouragement, burnout, and unexpected change that everyone struggles with in their daily lives.

These simple yet profound lessons draw on the wisdom of Eastern and Western spiritual traditions as well as Wicks's experience as a psychologist, and include

pairing clarity with kindness,
seeking perspective daily, and
