“I was struggling to gain control, and I was exhausted and getting nowhere. I couldn't understand why. Michael taught me recognize my emotions and all of sudden they stopped controlling me. I realized that they were just emotions. Self-awareness is also critical to my personal success.”

“I decided to try out A Plan For Living as an alternative to all the self-help books and various kinds of therapy that proved unproductive for me. Michael helped me recognize that dwelling on my past and trying to control the opinions of other people weren't doing me–or my relationships with the people I hold dear–any good. With Michael's support, I've learned to live right now, and it's a feeling of liberation that I never knew was possible.”
