Do NOT just enjoy reading this book. In limiting yourself to just reading, you would be depriving yourself of the significant growth opportunity Carlos has painstakingly shared. Where ever you are in your life's journey, I suggest you WORK THIS BOOK!!! In doing so, you will change not only your life - but you will become the Example of Positive Change for others - exactly the gift Carlos has given me.

This book is very in depth and hits the core of why so many young men get lost to the system from traumatic events that led them down a path that was never meant for them The trauma they never dealt with it so they ran from it and to cover it up, led them to the streets to gangs to criminal activity and normalize that as OK behavior🙏 there is always a Y behind every action
