IT WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH - IT SHOULD MAKE YOU CRY - AND IT MIGHT JUST WAKE YOU UP

Although the official launch of my new book, Normal Crazy People, is still six weeks away, it's now available online at a special pre-launch price.

Normal Crazy People is a book about you and me - ordinary people just trying to get by. But getting by is not living - and it might just be a good idea if we started living while we still have the chance.

Not only is Normal Crazy People packed with sometimes hilarious stories of normal people caught in the act of self destruction, it takes the reader on a journey of self-discovery and insight - something that can enable us all overcome our innate lack of focus and self-control.

So - right now - stop and ask yourself 'How focused am I, right now?' Even asking yourself the question will call your mind to attention.
