A Friend in the Dark
Summary
Rufus O’Callaghan has eked out a living on the streets of New York City by helping the police put away criminals as a confidential informant. But when Rufus shows up for an arranged meeting and finds his handler dead, his already-uncertain life is thrown into a tailspin. Now someone is trying to kill Rufus too, and he’s determined to find out why. After leaving the Army under less than desirable circumstances, Sam Auden has drifted from town to town, hitching rides and catching Greyhounds, until he learns that a former Army buddy, now a police detective in New York City, has died by suicide. Sam knows that’s not right, and he immediately sets out to get answers. As Rufus and Sam work together to learn the truth of their friend’s death, they find themselves entangled in a web of lies, cover-ups, and accelerating danger. And when they witness a suspect killed in cold blood, they realize they’re running out of time.

Building Self Discipline
Summary
If you want to discover the shortcuts to living your dream life, rather than wasting your time or quitting everything you start, then keep reading.... How much time do you spend every day doing the things that you really want to do? And how much time do you spend on your phone? Or scrolling your Facebook feed? Or staring into space? Have you tried to change your habits, but have failed every single time? According to researchers, the amount of time people spend procrastinating has quadrupled over the last 30 years. In fact, 40 percent of Americans have lost out financially because of procrastination. People who procrastinate are more likely to eat poorly, to sleep worse, and to drink more alcohol. And if you’re eating bad food, not sleeping, and drinking too much alcohol, then how are you going to turn your life into one that you love? You can’t. But you can learn how to create self-discipline so that you can begin living a life of fulfillment, good health, and success. It’s much easier than you think. All you need to do is follow effective strategies that will completely transform your bad habits into good ones, and then you’re on the road to your dream life. In Building Self-Discipline you will discover: Why your current life is the cause of your inability to change it The number one obstacle between you and your dream life How to visualize your dream life How to set the three most important types of goals The three most fundamental changes in your life to become healthy enough to start living the life you want The magical trick to create self-discipline and how it turned one man from an overweight loser into the fittest man in America The real reason you procrastinate at work Why there are no such things as obstacles on your road to your dream life And much, much more.... Some people are born with self-discipline, and some people aren’t. If you have the wrong parents, then you don’t learn how to motivate yourself. It’s easy to start a habit, but it’s too hard to keep it as a regular thing. Excuses sound best to the people that make them. The undisciplined mind is great at masking the truth of a situation when we’re making excuses. After all, it’s much easier to keep on making the same mistakes, sitting around, wasting time, getting through life, instead of actually living life. If you’re fed up with making excuses and going through life making the same mistakes, buy this book now.

The Vagus Nerve
Summary
This book was written during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. For the first time in many of our lifetimes, the entire world is fighting an unseen enemy, and the biggest losers are Americans. Why? Why are Americans suffering and dying at more than double the percentage of other countries? The answers can probably be found in your refrigerator or pantry. If you are American, you've been sold a bunch of bolognas (literally) about being too busy to prepare and eat whole, natural food. Fast food and highly processed food have become so typical for you that you can't even imagine a day without them. Almost every food label in an American pantry has sugar or corn syrup in it. Practically every meal in America has starch as a significant component. Fiber is rare. Vitamins are even more limited. Americans have suffered and died from this pandemic at an alarming rate because chronic diseases are most common in America due to Americans' unhealthy diet and habits. It's time for a change. Equally troubling, countries other than America have chronic disease cases on the rise. Why? They're buying into the American diet. This consumer ignorance and corporate greed must stop. And the reality is that it can end. Easily. Simple lifestyle changes can turn the tide on escalating health risks. What about you? Do you struggle with mysterious aches and pains, chronic diseases, anxiety, depression, brain fog, digestion issues, fatigue, inflammatory complications, dizziness, or other unexplained symptoms? These maladies can all be helped or even eradicated with lifestyle changes that will improve your vagal tone. What is your vagal tone? Your body has a natural, built-in regulator of health and well-being known as the vagus nerve. If it is working correctly, your physical and mental health will be the beneficiaries, and you will have a healthy vagal tone. The Vagus Nerve seeks to illuminate this pathway to better health that you may not find at your typical doctor's office. Hopefully, by the completion of this book, you will: Understand what and where the vagus nerve is Realize all the organs and systems it affects Recognize signs that it may not be functioning correctly Learn natural techniques to improve their tone Be exposed to alternative therapies that may be ideal for your needs See chronic diseases in a different light Be ready to incorporate lifestyle changes that will improve your vagal tone Have a better understanding of your gut biome Try yoga Commit to yoga Give up sugar, highly processed foods, and unhealthy fats Expand your diet to a greater variety and frequency of fruits and vegetables Work on building positive social networks Undoubtedly, the lessons learned from the 2020 pandemic should be those poor lifestyle choices that will ultimately lead to sickness, disease, and even death. Furthermore, social isolation has reminded us that we need each other. Taking steps to improve your vagal tone will ultimately improve your health and your quality of life. Why not choose to live and to live well?

The Process
Summary
Leadership is a lifestyle, not a vocation. The Process creates emotionally intelligent leadership starting in your relationships and extending into your business and your entire life. Over the years, I have counseled hundreds of people. The "help" I shared with couples in crisis has now evolved into a repeatable Process that, when entered into with full commitment, can bring life transformation from the inside out that not only saves marriages, but changes lives for the better in all directions. What I learned in developing and implementing the process was that sustainable change and growth depends on the changes you apply to your everyday life, relationships, and thought patterns. These changes stem from a deep inward change. They are not sustainable unless they are transformations that occur inwardly and are expressed outwardly. This book summarizes the process. It contains probing and powerful questions at the end of each chapter, questions designed to help you discover your own way forward. Whether you are struggling as an individual, in a relationship, or married, the process will point you in the direction of seeking and receiving help as a lifestyle, not as a solution to a problem. It will illuminate the difference between destination orientation and journey orientation, not only in your relationships, but in all aspects of your life. It will show you how true leadership starts in your own life and your own home, and is then translated out into your vocation and your community.
