About the author
Tommy is an accomplished entrepreneur, executive coach, consultant, blogger, husband and dad, and avid golfer. He loves to teach, always bringing personal experience, deep reflection, and mixing in personal application. His first book, Space to Breathe Again: Hope for the Overloaded and Overwhelmed, shares specific tools to help people navigate the difficult path of finding balance in a world overrun with distraction and excess.
After graduating from Davidson College in 1980, Tommy obtained a Master of Divinity degree from Union Theological Seminary and promptly went into business with his brother.
Over 30 years of partnership together, they owned and operated businesses in the manufacturing, retail, service, and real estate worlds. His experience crossed worked every function possible, including CEO, CFO, and sales. In addition, Tommy teaches in a wide variety of venues at church and beyond. He leads a Mentoring Ministry at his church and finds mentoring several men in Richmond incredibly meaningful.
Tommy can be rather obsessive about golf (his record is 120 holes played in one day). He is passionate about listening to God, learning from anyone and everyone, and teaching wherever he can make a difference.

This is a book that has literally changed the way my days start and end. That has resulted in profound differences in my stress, mental clarity, even relationships with my kids and wife. I was half-expecting another self-help book that told me what I already knew. This is not the same, it's a practical application for slowing down my high-idling life to a calmer speed, and I'm actually more productive. Slow-down to speed-up would certainly apply here.
After I read this, my wife wanted to read it, then my in-laws, etc. I simply can't recommend this enough if you are in similar shoes as we are.

Tommy Thompson provides a breath of fresh air in a time when we are suffocating. "Space to Breathe Again" could not be a more timely book. With everything that is going on in the world today, the stress and overwhelm threatens to take over at any moment. We are all on a speeding train with no hope in sight. Tommy Thompson provides great insight on how to gain control of that train, how to slow down, and how to breathe again.
This book is not written as one man who has figured it all out to a bunch of clueless, overwhelmed people who haven't. He writes from his journey: the same journey we are all on, just a different points. He shares the trials, the mistakes, the lessons, and the things that have worked. He encourages us to continue striving for space, even when we fail. There is no simple solution. It requires effort, tears, and time. Throughout it all, Tommy Thompson provides grace and hope that there is a way to gain control.
Tommy Thompson's faith plays a huge role in gaining control and peace in his life. But, even for non-Christians, there are many practical applications and take aways. This is truly a book for all of us living through 2020 and a time of great turmoil and unrest. There has never been a more important time to create space to breathe again.

(and the chapters are laid out so you can read them individually which makes coming back to the book for specific guidance really helpful)
