Ask Life Changing Questions

No Easy Answers

No Easy Answers

A TRUE honest tale of how someone who has had so much thrown at him rise from the ashes of despair and made a better life for himself. I listen to his podcast too (search under the book title on I-Tunes) and they are great short little "pick me ups" to listen to. Great reading for anyone who feels like they are having trouble and needs a little guidance. ~ Review by Clyde Saultenfuss

Book Description:

How do I turn my life around? What exactly do I need to do to be happy and content in life?

If you’re searching for answers to any of these questions—or dozens of others like them—keep going. You won’t find them in this book. In fact, you won’t find them in any book, because there are no easy answers. You have to work to find them—and the answers are different for everyone.

No Easy Answers is Barry Mangione’s highly personal, profoundly inspirational account of how he transformed his life and went from being depressed, divorced, bankrupt, alcoholic, and on the verge of suicide to being a happy and successful husband, father, artist, and advocate.

He offers his story as a source of hope and guidance, not as a step-by-step process or a secret to happiness. His story is framed around the questions that helped him transform himself and his life. By asking yourself these questions, you can begin to gain the self-awareness you need to achieve self-improvement.

Unplugged

Unplugged by P.D. Quaver

Book Description:

What would happen if some modern kids were forced to live without their modern devices?

The teens enrolled in 'The Natural Path'--a school for device-addicted kids run by the smooth but vaguely sinister Dr. Zarkov--quickly find out when the school turns out to be nothing but a front for an elaborate kidnapping plot. Trapped on a remote tropical island and facing what looks like certain death, they will have to band together if they hope to defeat their ruthless captors. But it will still take all their ingenuity just to survive...

A realistically detailed and thrilling story by novelist P.D. Quaver which will appeal to young adults (13 and over).

Review by Monica LaSarre

This was quite a memorable book. The author, P.D. Quaver, has created an action-packed story filled with some really unique and endearing characters. The premise of the story piqued my interest. We all know someone who’s addicted to electronic devices (maybe we see that person in the mirror) and it seemed appropriate to base a fictional story off of this real-life, pervasive issue. This book delivered exactly what I’d hoped for – a thoughtful look at what it would be like to be device-less and a riveting story to encase this issue. The author did a phenomenal job of harnessing the power of strong characters, adventurous plot and attention-grabbing themes into a flawless story. For the fast-paced, engaging plot and the cross-genre appeal (action, adventure, adult and young adult fiction) of this unique story, I give this book a much-deserved 5 stars.

 

Unplugged by P.D. Quaver is available at Amazon.com.

No Easy Answers

No Easy Answers is an autobiographical self-help book based on my experiences overcoming depression, divorce, bankruptcy, and alcoholism. ~ Barry Mangione

It is wonderful to see when another soul takes the time to share their journey. Particularly a journey involving many hills and valleys. I really like how Barry Mangione expresses what his book is about. “No Easy Answers is a book of questions that changed my life and guided me through recovery, redemption, and reinvention.”
