Turning This Thing Around
Keith Maginn was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, the youngest of four kids. He attended Miami (Ohio) University as an Evans Scholar. After earning a Bachelor's degree in Sociology, Keith relocated to Knoxville, Tennessee, to work for AmeriCorps (a service organization like the Peace Corps, but within the U.S.). Since then, he has been working for Knoxville Habitat for Humanity. The author loves playing and watching many sports, and also enjoys live music/concerts, writing, movies, meditation, yoga, reading and more. Keith has been writing all his life, but TURNING THIS THING AROUND is his first attempt to be published. Keith is well qualified to write this book because he has lived it: this is a deeply personal self-help memoir. There are many self-help books written by psychiatrists, psychologists and so on, but the author typically has not personally lived through the hard times. No amount of training or second-hand experience can replace actually living the events on a daily basis. Keith feels writing is his life's purpose and that he has a message to share that will help others. He hopes this will be his first book of many.
