Description: "Ex-gang member-turned-inspirational messenger Preston Smiles shakes things up in the world of personal development, sharing a uniquely modern, love-based approach on how to live with more excitement, clarity, and confidence. Preston Smiles, born in Compton and raised in Los Angeles, is no stranger to a life of adventure. As a teen he joined a local gang that was first involved in petty burglary but later escalated into more dangerous crimes. One night when Preston was fifteen, he was faced with a decision to take a routine ride of mischief with the friends or stay home. Intuition told him not to go. Within an hour, everyone in that car was shot. This tragic event shook him to his core and catapulted him to finding higher purpose for himself. Love Louder presents a positive approach for getting more love and meaning out of life. With the lessons he's learned through the years, he distills ancient wisdom and new thought teachings into thirty-three timeless tools to living your best life and asks questions such as: -What do you truly believe you deserve? Are your actions reflecting that? -What are you a slave to? Facebook? Twitter? Alcohol? Him? Her? -Do you have the need to be "right" all the time? Love Louder can help you tackle these everyday challenges and teach you how to live with more excitement, productivity, clarity, and confidence. Full of insights and powerful anecdotes, Preston's motivational story is a heartwarming read for anyone seeking guidance on overall happiness and fulfillment in life"--
