In fact, transforming from flippant restaurant-opening playboy to self-loving, self-aware coach for high performers simply wasn’t predictable.At 32-years-old, Alex woke up. He saw his life, his story, and who he was for what it was…complete bullshit.
Inspired by fictional influences and pop culture icons and media like Saved By The Bell, The Godfather, and Michael Jordan, Alex created his life by becoming the resigned charismatic “Cool Guy” who got the girl. And while it looked authentic and great, in fact his work of fiction left him feeling empty, unsatisfied, and miserable.

Rave Reviews
“Alex is truly a one-of-a-kind, no-nonsense, heart-centered, spirit-led kind of guy. And it’s a pleasure and privilege to know him as a friend.
In addition to the treasure trove of timeless wisdom and sage advice that he offers, what inspires me most about Alex and this phenomenal book, is his authentically gritty and bold – but loving – voice!
Show More
That, more than anything else, separates him from the other extraordinary self-help experts in the field.
Alex genuinely strives to make people’s lives better, and he’s committed to practicing what he preaches; he walks the talk because he’s done – and continues doing – the work. And that makes all the difference in the world.
This is a real book for real people – people like you, me and Alex. With this book, Alex didn’t just put his thoughts on paper; he put his entire heart and soul into these pages. In doing so, he shares not only his own fascinating personal journey but also practical tips, tricks, tools, and techniques for carving out your own authentic path to true success and authentic happiness, too.”

Listen
By Tatsuya Fushimi

Show More
The positive and negative voices in our minds battle daily. The non-stop noise gets louder over time. Unfortunately, the most important voice, the one in our hearts, is often forgotten in the cross-fire. The voice in our hearts leads us towards joy and fulfillment, although it may not always make sense to our rational minds. These three voices create a big confusing stew of thoughts and emotions. This book helps children to understand the voices in a simple way. It also encourages them to have the courage to let their hearts lead.

About The Illustrator
Britney (Bri) Vu is an artist and illustrator. Her love for art came from listening to her mom and grandmother read to her every day. She was fascinated with the images that helped tell those stories, appreciating every detail on each page and then running off to draw and paint pictures of her own. As she grew up, curiosity has invited her to explore many passions. Still, her heart always calls her back to make art to create joy, magic and connection with others. Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, she enjoys hikes by the ocean & snuggling with her three cats – Sid, Shadow and Stanley.

I also find it great to be able to support independent writers and artists.”
