“Earl! Writing from Germany… attending an off-site but got some good time with your manuscript on the flight. I thought it was beautiful writing based on touching deeply in the human experience, and rationally reasoning with the universe around us. Loved the idea that doing the small things everyday creates balance in the person, which contributes to balance in the universe. And when you continue with good small habits, large challenges utilize those habit muscles, and you rise to the occasion. Think it’s really great…congrats!” — Scott Singhass, Vice President Cloud Operations at Skyhigh Security | United States Navy Veteran

“Earl Waud has a very profound talent in teaching some very unique methods of maximizing our finite time here on this earth. He has a wealth of life experience, and has been present and observant enough throughout his experiences to create a guide the rest of us may use to simplify and further appreciate our own journey. I for one will be interested in seeing the results each time Earl puts pen to paper- as this is the second time Earl has truly engaged my heart and mind with his truly priceless perspectives. Earl’s words are sure to change some lives, don’t short change yourself of the opportunity to be one of them by missing out!” — William Bonnell, Real Estate Professional
