MIND CONTROL was published September 22. It began with 160 interviews about the self-limiting belief that costs people the most: 158 could name theirs precisely, and naming it hadn’t freed them. The book is about why — a self-limiting belief is a door held shut from the inside — and about who’s holding the door and how to open it.
It’s written for people who have read the books, done the inner work, and gained real insight — and still find themselves repeating the same patterns. If that describes your listeners, request a complimentary copy of the finished book below. Read it and decide for yourself.
If MIND CONTROL might be right for your show, I’d rather you read the finished book than a pitch about it. Tell me who you are and the name of your podcast, and I’ll email you a complimentary review copy. You can choose the format you prefer, including Kindle, Apple Books, EPUB or PDF.
I was aware, but stuck. Painfully stuck.
I spent decades suffering inside a mind I didn’t know I could control and lead, certain the problem was me. The 160 interviews showed me it was much bigger than me. It was part of the human condition — and it wanted to be solved. That’s when a private search became a book.
I wrote it so suffering stops being passed forward, and something better gets passed forward instead. Love is my why.

Aware, and still stuck. Why insight doesn’t hold — and what does.
Which “I” is talking? Three first-persons in one human being, and why the one who was never broken is the one who can lead.
Hiding in plain sight. Five ways high performers hide — the strong one, the helpful one, the one who has it together — and why only one of them looks like hiding.
