Living True to Your Self? Freedom, Function and Fun Are Key, Says Author of New Book for Kindle/Nook

Jan. 20, 2012 - PRLog -- As the first in its Living True Role Model Series, the Passion Profit Company announces the publication of Living True to Your Self by minimalist, "passionpreneur," "nomadpreneur" author and company founder, Walt Goodridge.

Living true to your self means different things to each of us," says Goodridge, author of 20 books including Turn Your Passion into Profit, and the Tao of Wow. "However, the bottom line for everyone is 'freedom, function and fun'--creating the freedom to be, do and have what you desire and need to survive and thrive, finding and fulfilling your life's function and purpose, and having a certain amount of enjoyment and fun while you do. I've been able to carve out a life that meets my personal definition, help others on their paths, and this book is my way of sharing what has worked for myself and others."

Indeed, Goodridge seems uniquely qualified to give such advice. A formerly frustrated civil engineer who walked away from his career to pursue his passion--coining and epitomizing the phrase "passionpreneur" in the process, he lives and blogs about his unique "nomadpreneur" lifestyle  in his award-nominated blog, "Jamaican in China!  In Living True to Your Self, he shares in detail, what he did, how he did it, what he believes about himself, about other people, and about the world; how he motivates himself; what he says (or never says) to himself in order to keep going; what he does (and never does), when he does it, and even what he eats in order to achieve the freedom, function and fun he espouses.

Goodridge says he's simply out to prove that freedom is achievable. "It starts with a new way of seeing yourself, the world, and your role in it," he adds. Living True to Your Self (which is also available in paperback), includes definitions of living, of truth and of the self (his separation of your and self in the book's title is explained), health advice, a test to determine if you are living true, suggestions for a new and better belief system, the pros and cons of living true, the personality traits, self talk, and strategies for reclaiming your power, breaking free and living the life of your dreams.
