Gerard Sclafani, a former miliary man and current CPA, has completed his new book "Don't Overthink It: Lose Fear, Overcome Yourself, and Reach Your Full Potential": an uplifting deep look into what drives fear and how to overcome it.
Sclafani writes, "I believe, at our core, we are all philosophers. We all know the answers, but instead choose to allow our ego to guide us and divert us from our true purpose: to be happy and make the world a better place. Take a journey and explore this premise. I use common sense, humor, and true stories to uplift and inspire readers toward the truth: that we must lose the fear, control our fate, and live a more meaningful life. We are all capable of transcending our lot in life and fulfilling our purpose. We are all philosophers."
Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Gerard Sclafani's encouraging work reassures readers that there is a way to make life more meaningful. By the end of this book, readers will understand that unlearning fear is the way to fulfill life's true purpose, which is to be happy. Sclafani hopes that his writing can help readers get there.
"Don't Overthink It: Lose Fear, Overcome Yourself, and Reach Your Full Potential" serves as a guide for readers to transcend the unhappiness of life and move forward in a healthier manner. Sclafani's book is full of enlightening information that encourages readers to seek answers to life's mysteries. By taking a more philosophical approach in this book, Sclafani lays out the answers but leaves the hard work up to readers.

Author William Bisbing’s new book ‘The Snake’ is a chilling tale that explores the ever-existent nature of evil and narcissism in the world
William Bisbing has completed his new book "The Snake": a gripping and potent narrative that reveals the true horror of a bad seed.
"Eve was now fourteen, and Joey an active four-year-old. Joey was getting far too much attention from James, Eve thought. Their dad spent time throwing the ball to him and praising him every time he caught it. Joey was growing to be big and strong for his size and age. He was such a cute little boy. It went on and on. Eve was sick of hearing how good Joey was, with them even comparing him to how she had been in her childhood years. She didn't like the way her parents talked to her one way as a girl and to Joey in another. James would say 'That's my boy' when speaking of Joey. Eve decided this had to stop," writes author William Bisbing.
Published by Newman Springs Publishing, William Bisbing's spell-binding tale describes the life of an extremely problematic girl named Eve.
Meet the snake—a woman who has no moral compass and is a danger to everyone who crosses her path. She is the type of person that craves power over others. Eve wants everything handed over to her. She makes a show of deception and will get anything she wants, if given a chance. It is a disturbing story of how a nefarious woman can destroy everything in her path. "The Snake" keeps readers on the edge of their seat, as they try to figure out why this character is so rotten.
Readers who wish to experience this chilling work can purchase "The Snake" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iBooks Store, Amazon, or Barnes and Noble.
