Let's Celebrate Authenticity

Today is National Authors Day. It is a day to recognize and celebrate the contributions authors make to literature and culture. It is an opportunity to express gratitude to authors for their dedication and creativity in sharing their gifts.

It is especially important considering that self-help book sales are dramatically dropping due mostly to the popularity of AI apps. AI mines the advice given in self-help books, podcasts, YouTube videos, and distributes it for free without any acknowledgment of the source.

Please remember to go to the source when looking for answers. Let's celebrate authenticity and the passionate dedication it takes to express talents and gifts in the world.

I want to acknowledge Portland author, Dave Markowitz for his brilliant book, Refuge for the Weary Empath. His book really resonated with the attendees in our recent Women's Retreat. His writing is personable and relatable and includes valuable tools and practices to help the empath understand their emotional attachment and remove themselves from the cycle of depletion.

Who is your favorite author? Please reach out and let them know you appreciate their dedication and talent. Better yet, write a review wherever their book is sold. You will make their day!
