About the Author

Dr. Donald Goodman, PhD, DMA

Dr. Donald Goodman has spent his life at the meeting point of two callings: music and healing. A concert-trained pianist with doctorates in both Piano Performance and Clinical Psychology, he has taught at universities, lectured at UCLA and USC, and spent decades helping people quiet their fears and live with greater presence and purpose.

He is the author of many articles and books, including Bring It On: Making Anxiety Your Friend and “Anxiety as Signal,” published in Frontiers in Psychology. Living Life Fully With Hope and its companion, Living Life Fully With Hope: A Guided Companion, grew out of those same decades of practice — the principles and hard-won wisdom he has seen change lives, including his own. You can learn more about his work with performers at PerformanceAnxietyHelp.com and explore all of his work at drdgoodman.com.

He lives in Westlake Village, California, with his wife, Rosa, where he writes, teaches, practices, and still plays the piano every day.
