SAN ANTONIO, TX - April 21, 2025 - In a development that reflects the evolving conversation around workplace well-being, Dr. Alejandro Plascencia-a long-standing CEO, business consultant, and certified psychotherapist-has released Surviving Me, a new book that seeks to support professionals dealing with depression and anxiety. The publication blends personal experience with reflective strategies, offering insights for individuals navigating the emotional complexities of leadership and high-performance roles.

This announcement comes at a time when corporate and healthcare sectors alike are paying increased attention to mental health in executive environments. The World Health Organization has reported that depression and anxiety may lead to productivity losses estimated at $1 trillion annually. Dr. Plascencia's book aims to add to ongoing efforts to address these concerns by presenting a personal and professional perspective on emotional resilience.

With over 15 years of experience in executive roles, Dr. Plascencia has worked across a diverse range of industries. He has held leadership positions at APB Virtus and Maoran and served as CEO of Cuinba, a leather manufacturing company later acquired by GST, one of the largest leather producers in the automotive sector. His consulting engagements have included firms such as Global Foods and Western Hide Corporation. His work also extends to real estate development and multi-family residential construction.

Rather than presenting his journey as a definitive solution, Surviving Me offers a candid reflection on a time of personal difficulty and recovery. In the book, Dr. Plascencia discusses his experience with depression and anxiety, describing how he gradually rebuilt a sense of personal and professional stability. The goal of the book, he notes, is to encourage conversation and offer supportive tools for others facing similar challenges.

"Surviving Me is not just a story-it's a collection of experiences and tools that I hope can be useful," said Dr. Plascencia. "It doesn't promise quick fixes, but it offers a place to start."

Drawing on his background in Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Ericksonian Hypnosis, Dr. Plascencia introduces methods that may assist readers in developing self-awareness and resilience. The book includes exercises and reflective practices that are designed to support emotional clarity, particularly for those in high-pressure business environments. While results may vary depending on individual circumstances, these tools are presented as part of a broader approach to managing stress and burnout.

Dr. Plascencia's academic credentials include a PhD in Project Management, a master's degree in Finance and Marketing, and a BS in International Commerce from the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education (ITESM). He has also completed training in Human Rights Education and Business Consulting. These qualifications inform the perspective offered in his work, which combines business strategy with an understanding of human behavior.

He was recently honored with a Doctor Honoris Causa by the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) for his career contributions, and has received additional recognition such as the National Professional Excellence Award and Palmas de Oro for Professional Excellence.

Surviving Me is intended for a broad professional audience, including entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, and individuals seeking a greater balance between career responsibilities and personal well-being. By sharing his own journey, Dr. Plascencia hopes to foster greater openness around emotional health in professional settings.

Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, the book's intention is to create space for dialogue and reflection. It encourages readers to consider how challenges in one area of life may influence others-and how addressing personal well-being can play a meaningful role in long-term development.

Dr. Plascencia emphasized, "Everyone's path is different, but we benefit from hearing each other's stories. If this book can provide a sense of support or a practical insight, then it has served its purpose."
