Goodreads asked Bento C. Leal III:

How do you get inspired to write?

Bento C. Leal III I had been a relationship skills trainer in class-type settings for several years, mainly teaching curricula developed by others. I decided to make my own condensed course teaching the 4 Keys of empathic awareness, listening, speaking, and dialogue. I then told myself, "I already know what I'm saying, why don't I just type it up?" Which I did in 2016, and then self-published my 4 Keys book at Amazon in early 2017. It quickly became an Amazon bestseller in several categories -- reaching far more people than I could have reached by simply teaching in classes, although I still teach. Writing and publishing the 4 Keys book is one of the best decisions I ever made.
