The false calm

The False Calm exposes the hidden exhaustion behind the polished professionalism of modern educators and leaders. We appear steady, composed, and capable - yet inside, we are quietly shutting down. This book reveals the emotional numbness that creeps in when constant pressure, performance culture, and unrelenting demands force us into survival mode. Through lived experience, coaching insights, and deeply honest reflection, Dr. Sonia Cheema shows how we lose ourselves while still functioning flawlessly - and how we can return to a life of presence, purpose, and genuine feeling. This is the book every tired-but-smiling professional has been waiting for.
