All too many of us create an outer persona or “ego self” in order to cope with the fear and anxiety of day to day life. This false identity normalizes these intense emotions, stops us from feeling anything at all, and drives us toward artificial goals of financial status and success. No one understands this better than Gregory Nicholas Malouf, a successful businessman and entrepreneur who became a workaholic at 19, earning triple figures each week, and throwing lavish parties and traveling around the world. He thought he was living the ‘perfect life’ until at age 50, his world collapsed and he realized he was living a lie.

Malouf suffered from anxiety and obsessive control disorder; two of the many addictions that had ruled his life because he had not been able to confront the truth of his past. When he wrote Silent: The Power of Silence (Morgan James Publishing) and founded Epsilon Healing Academy, he did so for those who believe what he needed to believe – YOU can release yourself from overwhelming and consuming life burdens, and YOU can access that which you truly desire and live the life you deserve.

CEO and philanthropist Tom Slone planned a whirlwind round of Major League Baseball games with his grandsons just for fun. And because he’s a generous person, he included several other young men and their mentors. What might have become just a fond memory instead forcefully brought home some simple, yet life-changing ideas. Grounders is the story of that trip and the mentoring lessons Slone has used to forge success in business, sports, and life.

In the introduction to Grounders: A Once-in-a-Lifetime Journey of Baseball, History, and Mentoring, renowned CEO coach Tony Jeary writes: “Tom combines the inspiring and entertaining story of a grand baseball journey with 33 essential lessons that all of us (yes, even those of us who are already very successful) can apply in our lives. He also demonstrates, over and over, the life-changing power of mentoring.”

Everyone has certain areas of life that don’t work. These areas of life may seem to be the problem, but they’re not, says author Bill Ferguson. They are symptoms of something deeper. The moment you resolve this deeper, underlying condition, these areas of life begin to clear up. As a best-selling author of several books on life and relationships, Bill has been called “The Love Doctor.” His most recent book is Get Your Power Back.

“When an area of life isn’t working, there is something under the surface that is creating the problem,” Bill explains. “This condition makes us defensive. It destroys love and takes away our power. It creates a state of fear, upset and tunnel vision. It destroys our ability to find solutions and it forces us to act in a way that actually magnifies the problem.”

Every relationship and every area of life that doesn’t work can be traced to this underlying condition. “Fortunately, this condition can be found and removed. The moment this happens, you restore your ability to see clearly. Solutions appear and this area of life begins to clear up.”

In his profound, yet easy-to-understand book, Get Your Power Back, Bill Ferguson shows step-by-step how to find and remove the destructive, underlying conditions that destroy love and sabotage our lives. The result is more love, more peace and a much more enjoyable, productive life.
