The book "Living Your Dreams" was inspired by students coming to me with no idea (or hope) about their future. We worked on the exercises in the book, and everyone learned something about themselves. Even if they didn't change their actions, they did get more confident and, eventually, happier about their situation.

Seeing a positive change in the life of people over and over again inspired me to write. I want to share that positive change with as many people as possible.(less)
