About the author and the REPOSE team

Noah Nguyen has worked in information technology for thirty years, running companies with hundreds to thousands of employees. To stay on his feet under pressure, he read philosophy, especially the Stoics, and the psychology of stress and anxiety, then tested what he learned on himself and the people around him. What remained became REPOSE, six steps for setting worry down.

The REPOSE team is the author and a small group of collaborators who believe worry should be noticed and set down early, before it turns into depression.
