Set Yourself Free: Reon Schutte's 10 Principles to Break Out of Your Personal Prison through The Power of Choice
Reon Schutte has led a remarkable life. A South African solider captured in a cross border raid into Zimbabwe in 1990, he spent nearly 13 years in that country’s infamously brutal Chikurubi prison.
Since his pardon and release, he has presented his triumphant story of survival and transformation to 1 million people around the world, from business executives to students, prisoners to cancer survivors, war veterans to government leaders. Now in his highly anticipated first book, written with award-winning author, journalist and certified life coach, Maggie Kuhn Jacobus, Reon shares his epic personal life journey, holding readers spellbound with an inspiring recounting of overcoming inconceivable adversity. The keys to his resiliency are The 10 Principles--the major lessons he learned that allowed him to be free, even while imprisoned.
With concrete exercises to put the Principles into practice, readers are given tools to break out of their own personal prisons of fear, hate, anger, lack of forgiveness and more, in order to experience a life of happiness and peace, regardless of circumstances.
Reon’s journey demonstrates the potential for all humans to overcome adversity, while The 10 Principles illustrate the soul’s resourcefulness to use trying circumstances for transformation.

If this man could survive and thrive with all his adversities, probably everyone should also try before giving up so easily on things that do not even represent adversity in the first place. It is a wake up call for me.

La historia de Reon es cruda, lo recomiendo ampliamente, es un libro muy honesto, franco y práctico. Hay un aprendizaje muy fuerte sobre responsabilizarnos de nuestra propia vida, aceptando lo que venga y creando nuestra propia realidad a travez de nuestra actitud.
