You can protect yourself without shutting everyone out. This original motivational audiobook explores how to handle disappointment, keep healthy boundaries, and stay open without being naive. Martin Vale is a 53-year-old bus driver who has learned to expect very little from people. He calls it experience—until his daughter admits she no longer wants to share her excitement with someone who always finds a reason to dismiss it. An ordinary morning, an uncertain transit project, and a series of small encounters force Martin to reconsider what his disappointment has been costing him.
