About the Book

​

"This is my personal collection of reality-based life theories. I have no idea if it will be attractive to your eye or appealing to the senses of all readers. That is none of my business.

​

All twenty-eight theories within this book were formed throughout more than thirty years of my personal experience and conversations had with family, friends, and hundreds of therapy clients of all ages. This collection truly defines the talk that I walk every day.

​

All of this is practice, and that can feel like a blessing or a curse depending on our perspective. Keep in mind throughout this practice, we do not grow when we are comfortable. Discomfort is a sign of the possibility of development.

​

 

When we accept reality at face value, and shift perspective - just a little bit - to choose to learn from opportunities we once saw as obstacles, we change our world.”
