#2173 The Power of Agency by Dr. Paul Napper and Anthony Rao Ph. D.

Agency is the ability to choose—and change—your path.

Today’s book: The Power of Agency by Dr. Paul Napper and Dr. Anthony Rao—a practical and empowering guide that shows how to reclaim your freedom, focus, and confidence in an overstimulated, overwhelmed world.

Here’s your 1-minute summary:

  • Agency is self-direction. It’s your capacity to make choices aligned with your values—especially under pressure.
  • The world is noisy. Information overload and constant distraction drain your clarity and decision-making strength.
  • Pause. Reflect. Choose. Slowing down isn’t weakness—it’s how you regain control and act with intention.
  • Small wins build agency. Daily decisions—what you eat, how you move, what you focus on—shape your personal power.
  • Agency = responsibility + freedom. You can’t control everything, but you can control your next move.

You have more power than you think. What’s one choice you’ll make today that reinforces your agency?
