Susan S. Freeman

How is your book helping others?

In Inner Switch, Susan becomes the first author to teach individuals how to become “Inner Switch Leaders,” shifting from unconscious reactor to conscious responder.
Her novel Inner Switch™ method integrates Eastern wisdom derived from more than 25 years of studying yoga and yogic philosophy with the needs of Western business management. The result is helping leaders move from who they are not to who they truly are—allowing them to have extraordinary impact. Susan shares numerous techniques and practices that can be integrated into daily regimens and provides real-life experiences and lessons from her clients.
By embarking on the Inner Switch Leader journey, while accepting and honoring the fact that the response they wish to see from others always begins within themselves, leaders can transform working relationships into harmonious, joyous, effective, and responsive partnerships. This leads them to a dramatic improvement in their leadership effectiveness, business success and joy.

Matthew J Louis

How is your book helping others?

Every year, 200k veterans leave the military - most of whom are unprepared for the transition. These service members have developed incredible leadership, problem-solving, and practical skills that are underutilized once they reach the civilian world, a detriment to both themselves and society. Mission Transition expertly fills this gap in support, enabling these national heroes to find full employment in optimal career fields, which - studies show - has the effect of nearly doubling their career earnings, rates of retention, and job satisfaction. Moreover, full employment is also directly correlated to suicidality in the post-9/11 veteran cohort. Put simply, this book saves lives!

The future of humanity can go one of three ways:

1. We annihilate ourselves and go extinct
2. We continue to muddle along
3. We learn to live forever and fix everything

This is a book about option three. It is based on science we have today and numbers that work. It contains a vision of how we make a future in which today's global problems get solved. You will visit a future that is possible in the next several decades. We will discuss extending your lifetime and a myriad of other subjects. Where you previously saw intractable problems, you will now see practical possibilities. I hope, after you read this book, the conversation in your head becomes one between competing positive outcomes. Most of all, I hope that the future actually becomes something like what you are about to read.
