Josh Groban wasn’t supposed to cry on his therapist’s phone call. But there he was, the multi-platinum artist who’d sold 35 million albums worldwide, breaking down over something that stunned him: he was finally, truly grateful for the small moments. The quiet dinner with his nephew. The easy laughter with his girlfriend. The simple peace of not chasing the next milestone. For someone who achieved global fame at 17 after a chance encounter with Celine Dion, this discovery of presence came as a revelation. The young man who spent decades in “deep concern at all times,” constantly proving himself worthy of the spotlight, had finally learned to bottle joy instead of just achievements. You’ll walk away understanding how to find peace in your own success, no matter what level you’ve reached.
