You have had hardships.
And you will again.
When you do, will you be a hero capable of facing them?
Or a villain who created them?
Villain? We are our greatest bully—the villain in our own story! No one who suffers, be it from a loss of love due to anger or sickness from drugs, ever thought they would be where they are now. Or, albeit less dramatic, merely being mediocre, where we are only a little better in some areas and a little worse in others. Our inner villain is a victim, and the victim mindset is opposed to overpowering the inner bully by becoming a respected hero.
Hero? Can you be who you want to be if you don’t fully know who that is? And if you don’t know of better alternatives, then is it really your choice? This book guides you through a lifetime’s worth of self-discovery you can use to prevent peril and increase joy—to have a life that others envy. It comes down to loving yourself enough to grow into who the community needs most of all—become the best you!
This book will help you design a life that you (not the author or society) would want. The journey begins with discovering the heroes and villains in your life. Then, it delves into all aspects of life, from how you dress to meditation, from uncommon types of therapy to life-changing poetry. From helpful quotations to artwork and muse, this book will transform your life from the inside out to benefit us all.
You and your loved ones are worth your effort to improve!
Become a hero!
As many who have laughed, are as many who agree, this is the most epic diet ever. Nor does any training comes close to this!
I, as many of you, have lost loved ones, years—even decades!—earlier than needed due to a lack of taking care of oneself.
From recipes to gardening, from caring for your family to that of strangers, herein is the framework.
The you of a decade from now would give everything they own to send this to you today. Skip meals, get another job—beg if you need to, but buy this workbook. But do not just read it. For that is worthless. Apply the lessons herein, or you will look back and wish you had.
As for I? I’d give everything, not just to send it to my past self, but to those who I love, those souls who are now … gone.

Uncontrolled emotions cause or worsen all tragedies, losses, separations, and incarcerations.
Instead of heroes, we have been taught to be victims, the weakest and most demanding of all villains. We have emotions 24-hours a day, yet basic life skills and emotional management tools are not taught in schools. We have to learn this ourselves.
To decrease your hardships and enhance worth, HALT – An Emotional Management Field Guide will help you create a hero in yourself by vanquishing the greatest villain, that of your inner bullies, cowards, and the devastating tyrant named ordinary. HALT is an acronym meaning Hungry Angry Lonely Tired—but there is so much more!
Once you can manage these, all other emotions become easier to have command over rather than being commanded by.

How can one find a partner in today’s world?
Early 2025.
If you cannot conquer oneself, then what good is it is trying to fight the world?
Mid 2025.
A wounded soul finds solace and transformation through the power of ecstatic dance—this work is filled with poems, prose, and the muse doing its best to write scriptures inside the heart of a dancing madman.
These are the tales of what I faced and what I learned on the dance floor, about facing undue and unwanted fears. About discovery of self, and indeed the closest of friendships.
This book will enrich your life. It may even inspire you to seek out your own dance tribe. And once there? May you, too, find the freedom to dance with such abandon that you rediscover the beauty of your younger self.
All this aside …
The biggest problem in the entire world?
We as a people do not seek prevention—to learn and implement ways of stopping problems before they arise!
So many seek help to stop drinking only after they lose their partner, kids, job, and freedom to drive (and often much worse).
Or they seek help with anger after they’ve alienated lovers, friends, and self-respect.
Many couples seek therapy only after they hate each other’s guts.
Another sets an appointment for two weeks from now but then kills himself a week later.
Or maybe it is simpler. Someone lives their whole life a bit down, kind of pessimistic, and without much hope or drive.
Imagine if tyrannical husbands—and tyrannical leaders—got the help they needed before their actions harmed anyone (before they ever had problems to begin with). If women saw what the media screams is empowering for women is actually disempowering, what would happen? Hundreds of thousands of people kill themselves every year due to depression from loneliness. Millions suffer from, not a lack of, but zero social connection—no friends and no partner. So many hold on to resentment and rage, letting it destroy their home, stifle their art none of us get to enjoy, and rip apart our communities. How many lives have been lost to alcohol and drugs—not even addiction, but use? How many, not even broken ones, but so-so marriages would become beacons of love and intimacy if people sought help long before it was needed?
