"There is power to your spoken words; a person who takes responsibility for their words, speaks only to add value with their words."

Millions find themselves frustrated with their station in life, feeling like they are simply going through the motions in a perennial rut. In Coslett’s guide, audiences will experience a demystification of the situation. While Coslett’s content is in no way groundbreaking advice, it is incredibly impactful for creating awareness and sending out a sorely needed reminder to humanity that the path to being their optimal selves is within reach.

Coslett’s work intersects his personal mantra, “One man can make a difference,” with his favorite biblical phrase, “Seek and you shall find.” The end result is a blueprint for rediscovering one’s self that is infused with themes from medicine, spirituality, faith, physiology, psychology, sociology, anthropology, etc.—in short, life itself. More specifically, Coslett suggests that life hands out blessings or misery based on one’s own choosing. He probes deeper to show that from a young age, dependence becomes a fixture in life, beginning with one’s reliance on parents. To unwind the conditioned mind and reconnect the neural wiring, Coslett provides a series of seemingly simple yet undoubtedly profound lessons to approach the game of life ready to truly play.

The author notes that trials and tribulations provide clarity and are the path to progress. In his own life, art class became the catalyst for him to redefine how he saw the world. This idea of seeing is heavily featured in the work, whether that is through mental vision or seeing through energy transference. What is intriguing about Coslett’s work is that it is universally comprehensible, yet there are direct, actionable questions that his various sections impel audiences to mull over. Advice ranging from just slowing down and breathing to choosing one’s inner circle carefully and being mindful of the power of the word makes this a meaningful guide.
