About this audiobook
The world receives your discipline. Who receives what is left?
At work you are patient, measured, and dependable. You absorb pressure and carry tense situations with dignity. Then you walk through your own front door — and the people who love you most meet the exhausted remainder.
Drawing on nearly two decades in banking, and an African context where one income may carry an entire extended family, Tekele Samanyi asks a hard question: what kind of success requires the household to become emotionally poor so the public person can appear excellent?
Through vivid scenes and practical guidance, you will learn how stress crosses the threshold into your home, why quality time cannot replace reliable attention, and how to set boundaries, repair harm, and arrive home with something left — including a complete Thirty-Day Return Home Practice built for real lives and long shifts.
When you finally look up — does the child still unfold the drawing?
