"The Motivation Manifesto is a poetic and powerful call to reclaim our lives and find our own personal freedom. It's a triumphant work that transcends the title, lifting the reader from mere motivation into a soaringly purposeful and meaningful life. I love this book." - Paulo CoelhoThe Motivation Manifesto is a pulsing, articulate, ferocious call to claim our personal power. World-renowned high performance trainer Brendon Burchard reveals that the main motive of humankind is the pursuit of greater Personal Freedom. We desire the grand liberties of choice-time freedom, emotional freedom, social freedom, financial freedom, spiritual freedom.

The reason for his distress was that he'd wanted a photo of himself surrounded by piles of his book and now all the evidence was gone. The e-book copies he'd sold didn't seem real to him, until Janet took over as his agent, secretary and wife and convinced him that virtual books were real books. His agent had always managed everything for him previously and he hadn't shown him where to find his books on the internet, but now that Janet had shown him how to open up the site and click on the cover to admire it, he felt happy with an e-book.Janet had given him both the confidence to speak in public and to visualize what was happening in the virtual world with his books, so he owed most of his success to her.

He panicked immediately and convinced himself he had writers block, -until he received her email that said, -Come on Johnny, you can do it. Views: 317

THIS IS BOOK #2 IN THE SHAPES OF AUTUMN SERIES
Their forbidden love could cost them their lives...
Autumn’s just learned she’s a shape-shifter — something her parents should’ve told her long ago. Unless they adopted her and didn’t know she wasn’t human. Either way, learning the truth has the same outcome: her parents lied. Zack is the only one she can count on, but he’s a werewolf and the king’s decree forbids contact between the species, let alone love. Zack’s planning to leave after graduation, but letting him go isn’t an option. He’s becoming more a part of her every day, a part she would fight for, give up everything for — even kill for. If she’s not killed first.
If Zack’s experience with his own kind has taught him anything, it’s that werewolves can’t be trusted. He’d rather die free than live in a pack under the rule of the werewolf king. So, instead of preparing for college like any other senior, he’s planning to go on the run after graduation. Escaping won’t be easy with the werewolves guarding him. But until that day comes, Zack knows he’s endangering Autumn every moment he’s around her. If it’s this difficult staying away from her now, how hard will it be to leave her behind in just a few weeks?
