From the Author
On this journey of life we all struggle at times with internal interference―such as fear, self-doubt, stress, and overwhelm—which can sap our energy and block us from tapping into our inner greatness. This book is about a simple, yet powerful set of tools that can help you identify and remove the interference so that you can connect with your gifts and talents and perform at your best. When Michelangelo was carving the statue of David he said, “Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it. I saw the angel in the marble and carved to set him free.” Similarly, the tools and practices in this book are designed to help you carve away your rough edges so that you can set yourself free. The transformational tools offered in this book will help you: 1) Overcome adversity 2) Alleviate stress in your life 3) Increase your energy and mental clarity 4) Improve your overall health 5) Identify and remove your stumbling blocks 6) Elevate perspective, purpose, and passion 7) Tap into your inner greatness |
What Readers Are Saying
“A powerful and simple set of tools to help you thrive in every aspect of life. No matter how difficult the challenges and hardships you face, the profound practices taught in this book will change your life for the better.”
-Dr. Matt Townsend, Sirius/XM Radio Show Host and Author of Starved Stuff: Feeding the 7 Basic Needs of Healthy Relationships
“This book can provide great relief to anyone experiencing the harder parts of the human condition… as well as help them make the good parts even better!"
-Brad Yates, Author of the Wizard’s Wish and Confidence Beyond Belief
“You know you have read a great book when you can’t stop thinking of all the people in your life who need a book like this. I've already passed it on to friends and family and am excited to see the benefit in their lives.”
-Grace N.
“I loved this book. I have read many self-help and personal improvement books over the years and most fall short for one reason. They try to inspire but fail to give the day-to-day tools and processes to succeed. John Bush has given us those with his book. It's what I love about it. Inspirational books too often have the opposite effect -- they create frustration and disappointment when we aren't successful. But John has shown the step-by-step processes and tools to deal with stress, tragedy, and challenges which we all eventually face in life. This book inspires not by just telling us we can change and be happier like most books do, but by showing people how to cope with difficult relationships, adversity, and daily stress. For anyone struggling, this book is a road map to a better life.”
-Mark B.
“This book hits to the core! I felt this book touch my heart. It renewed hope and belief. It helped redefine my direction in life. Thank you. You have a Fan for life!”
-Gina T.
“Wow. I recommend this for all ages, to anyone who breathes and wants a joyful life. This book is mind-blowing in its simplicity but profundity. Chock full of truly uplifting quotes, Mr. Bush's book is a compilation of steps any person can take to repurpose their life and upcycle it to reflect a better version of themselves. I love that you can use the steps in the book right away. You have everything you need right at your fingertips, and you will be able to make changes that will improve your life. Seldom does a book come along in which all of the advice is workable, verifiable and useful. This is one of those books. I can't recommend it enough. This has the potential to make an incredible positive impact on all who read it.”
-Victoria H.
"As a life coach, I help people break free of emotional pain, trauma, and negative beliefs about themselves. I have witnessed great miracles in this work. However, they will often ask, "What can I be doing to help myself in between sessions?” Up until this point, I haven't had a complete resource manual or book that explains a step by step process on how to let go of the past, manage daily stress, and live in the moment. Now I can refer them to this book and encourage them to practice these powerful techniques daily so they can tap into their inner greatness. These tools will help speed up their progress. I'm so happy to have found this book. It will not only change the lives of those who read it, but it is a great resource for therapists, practitioners, coaches, and even workplace leaders. I personally have plans to give it to EVERY SINGLE PERSON I work with. It will change their lives!”
-Janet F.
“Thriving in Turbulent Times addresses a common dilemma: How can one feel better and do better even when negative, painful life circumstances fail to change? This book stands out as a groundbreaking yet simple handbook that focuses on finding peace from within. This is in stark contrast to the usual self-help approach of forcing or controlling ourselves externally through such measures as goal-setting or regimented programs.”
-Susan D.
“Wow! I love this book! I have seen the great miracle of applying these techniques in the lives of my own children. The application of these techniques has accelerated their healing journey in truly remarkable ways! They would never be where they were today if it were not for these tools and life skills. Applying the tools in John’s book will change the world, one individual at a time, just like it has for each member of my family. I would recommend this book to everyone!"
-Don F.
“I was impressed how I left each chapter feeling like I clearly understood a simple “tool” that I can use in a moment of frustration or grief. I now find myself using these tools, such as “a lighter hold on the reins” or “the power of yes,” on a daily basis—AND THEY WORK! Best of all each chapter is thorough and yet brief, science-based but not heady, and filled with specific exercises that are well thought out. Too often I have finished reading a self-help book filled with ideas but with no real good way to make these ideas part of my life. This book is all about how to apply the tools in a way that is simple, doable and enjoyable. The text is a delight to read because the wording and organization is so comfortable, and the author clearly has a mastery of the content.”
-Nathan M.
“Loved it, loved it, loved it! Thank you for writing this book.”
-Melissa M.
“I thoroughly enjoyed reading every bit of Thriving in Turbulent Times. I found myself in total agreement with every technique. What I particularly like about the author's approach is that he provides the reader with a whole toolbox full of effective methods for dealing with the stress and distress of life. I also appreciated his concise writing. Many authors attempt to make a tome of this effort to impress their peers. I found John’s writing clear and easily understood, with all the information one needs to try the ideas he presents. These tools can be a great help to people in all walks of life."
-Bill S.
“I highly recommend this book for anyone who is sincerely looking to improve their life. The author provides real life stories, research studies, and simple exercises that make it easy to incorporate the tools into daily habits. I also appreciate the broad base application…these tools can have an impact on just about every aspect of life (including home life and work life). I am looking forward to seeing the impact this book will provide other members of my family and friends…so glad this book was recommended to me.”
