"If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself. If you want to eliminate
the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself.
Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation." ~ Lao Tzu
Welcome!
Thanks for stopping by. I'm passionate about personal development. I'm always exploring creative ideas (old and new) that might hold a possibility for making the experience of each moment "better" - more meaningful, happier, more fulfilling and more in tune with what's truly important for me. It was this passion that prompted me to write "Making Life Better" and it's what keeps me exploring, writing and speaking on these themes.

New Review by Sharon Kinsella - ",,, The writing is direct, the advice is succinct and easy to incorporate. I will not be loaning anyone this book because I want to be able to refer to it again and again. You will too. Truly one of the best self-help books I've ever seen. You definitely should purchase this book and it will be the last self-help book you ever buy... " (Read the entire review by Sharon Kinsella)
New Review by Jean, the Teeniest Bit Odd, F. ..."To a readership grown weary of trying to awaken their focus via preachy diatribes and dull "busy work", James offers a refreshing, earthbound viewpoint with an easy-to-follow map which should help even those with limited attention spans (like me) find their ways along the most rewarding of paths."

New Review by Joanna Ammons
"One of the Best Self Help Books on Amazon.Com... I cannot diminish its value by merely calling it a self-help book... It's a wonderful thing when an author can get your thoughts cranking and you start to believe that not only can you change your life, but you are actually doing it while reading the book.... " (Read the entire review by Joanna Ammons)
Review by Annie K. Johnson - "This is really what a self-help book should look like without really being a self-help book ... so far from anything I’ve ever seen in a self-help book and is so plainly honest that you just can’t help but like it ... a feat only rarely achieved by authors who write something as intelligent as this ..."
