Many people don't invest any positive energy in themselves because of a profound sense of resignation.

Life is going to be worth living again. If, as you read this, you are feeling resigned to having a life that looks like it's always looked and feels like it's always felt, know a better life is possible.
Life can change for the better.
If you are incarcerated, I hope this book will guide and inspire you. Rather than letting yourself be emotionally deadened and depressed by your prison experience, you can use this time to wake up to your true self, to a depth of personal power and self-respect the likes of which you may not have known before. Then you will be able to appreciate what your past has to teach you, without defining yourself solely in terms of your past actions or personal history. You'll see new options and move on knowing that you can have a happier, more satisfying life. As difficult as the prison experience can be, I know that prison can be transformed into a house of healing for you.
