Big Brother is the enigmatic dictator of Oceania, a totalitarian state taken to its utmost logical consequence – where the ruling Party wields total power for its own sake over the inhabitants.

Eurasia was established when US and Imperial soldiers withdrew from continental Europe, thus the USSR conquered Europe against slight opposition

While there’s a culture of big brother,

there’s a counter-culture of individual

empowerment

My new book engages the reader with an online test that starts with who they are and

where they want to go.

Books don’t have to be a “one size fits all.”

We don’t need information. We need direction. To get direction, start by knowing who you are, where

you are, and where you want to go.

We are all a part of the Wealth Lighthouse, with a genius and a level we’re at. Your genius is your surfboard. Hold on to

that, and you don’t need to hold on to any wave: Don’t sink or swim - surf.
