Anchored

Anchored: A Father's Reflections on What Matters What do we leave behind when the noise quiets and the dust settles? For Dr. Erickson, a devoted father, health professional, and reflective teacher, the answer is simply this: we leave behind who we are, how we lived, and what we stood for. Anchored is more than a book, it's a heartfelt offering. Written as a legacy for his sons, Dr. Erickson shares the lessons that shaped his life. Insights earned through personal failures and triumphs, drawn from history, philosophy, and the raw wisdom of lived experience. Each chapter is grounded in timeless principles, emotional intelligence, values-based decision making, resilience and leadership and concludes with a deeply personal reflection titled From Father to Son. But this book isn't just for his sons. It's for anyone who has ever asked themselves, What truly matters? It's for those navigating change, wrestling with uncertainty, or longing for clarity and direction. It's for readers who value truth over trend, and depth over distraction. Whether you're a parent, a seeker, or simply someone trying to live with more intention and integrity, Anchored offers a compass: steady, honest, and enduring.
