REVIEW OF "STORY LINE: FINDING GOLD IN YOUR LIFE STORY"
This is what Steve Pressfield, author of "The War of Art" had to say about my book;
"An instant classic that is going to rock the worlds of a lot of writers in Tinseltown and elsewhere. It has already rocked mine. I know because before I even got halfway through, I was pleading for extra copies to give to my friends.
Jen Grisanti's Story Line is loaded with gold, not just for us as writers but for our bumbling, benighted selves as human beings. This book can take us to the next level as storytellers. It can also change our lives. Ms. Grisanti hits us with questions like, "What is the log line for your life?" "What is the theme of your life?" "What is the goal of your life?" She guides us to mine these veins for treasure we can use in our work. But this stuff can also be world-changing in our real lives. Story Line opened my eyes. Like David Mamet in Three Uses of the Knife and his other wonderful books about drama, Ms. Grisanti sees a direct link between the "arc of the protagonist" and the narrative of our own lives. Story Line is not just for writers or artists; it's invaluable for anyone seeking insights into the story and drama of their own lives."

CRUSH IT! WHY NOW IS THE TIME TO CASH IN YOUR PASSIONWritten by Gary Vaynerchuk
This is my favorite book on social media and how to use it to your advantage. It is a must read. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it!
Gary writes, "Ultimately this book is not about making a million dollars, although it just might help you do that. It is about ensuring your own happiness by enabling you to live every day passionately and productively."

QUOTE
If you take the responsibility for your life you can start changing
it. Slow will be the change, only in the course of time will you start;
moving into the world of light and crystallization, but once you are
crystallized you will know what real revolution is. Then share your
revolution with others; it has to go that way, from heart to heart.
