Guest, David Essel

O.M., is the number one best-selling author (11), counselor, master life coach, international speaker, and minister whose mission is to positively affect 2 million people or more every day, in every area of life, regardless of their current circumstances.

On the show, David will dive deep into his newest book“Fifty Shades of Grey” meets Therapy! And What made you write “50+ Flavors of Erotic Love – Leaving the Vanilla World for Ecstasy!”
What we were taught in our life is perhaps totally WRONG...David was once a big advocate of "The Secret" - and now reveals that he was totally WRONG about positive thinking...
In his groundbreaking #1 best-selling book, "Positive thinking will never change your life at this book will", counselor and master life coach David Essel explains that we have been duped into believing that such things like the law of attraction, which if followed correctly claims that we can attract millions of dollars into our life, the perfect body, the perfect lover… Just about the perfect anything by simply thinking a certain way.
The forward to David's ball, written by New York Times number one best-selling author Dr. Eldon Taylor, states that our thought process is not powerful enough to attract the very things that the law of attraction says that we should be able to attract.
David states throughout his book, by recalling interviews over the past 25 years with experts like Deepak Chopra, the late Wayne Dyer, financial guru Suze Orman and many more that not one of them ever stated that they attracted their success by thinking in a certain way. David Essel combines his 30 years of work in the field of personal growth along with stories from some of the top authors and success experts of our day, to shatter “the myth of the power of positive thinking.” David reveals that the real "Secret to success” requires much more than positive thinking, affirmations or vision boards, and that no one ever made a million dollars, got the perfect body or found their soulmate through positive thinking alone. There is a place beyond wishful thinking and fantastical affirmations. Let David take you there!
David Essel, M.S. is the author of 9 books, a Master Life Coach and Teacher, Business, Relationship and Addiction Recovery Coach, International Speaker and Radio/TV Host. From athlete to poet, he has been labeled a "21st century renaissance man".
