Fractured explores one of the most common—and most misunderstood—human experiences: frustration. Drawing on decades of law enforcement, leadership, and behavioral insight, Kevin Rice examines how unmanaged frustration quietly builds over time and how, left unaddressed, it can cause good people to make poor decisions in both their personal and professional lives. Rather than treating frustration as a weakness or flaw, Fractured reframes it as a signal—an early warning system that something meaningful is out of alignment. Through real-world examples from high-stress professions and everyday life, Rice shows how frustration develops, why it escalates, and how it can be redirected before it leads to burnout, conflict, or regret. At the heart of the book is the FRACTURE Method, a practical, easy-to-apply framework designed to help readers pause, reflect, and respond intentionally instead of reacting emotionally. From workplace stress and relationship tension to daily irritations like traffic and unmet expectations, Fractured provides tools to regain control, build emotional resilience, and make better decisions under pressure. This book is for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed, stuck, or on the edge—and wants a healthier way forward.
