Inner Voice: Unlock Your Purpose and Passion by Russ Whitney (Hay House, 2013) will be available Sept. 23

The night before he left for the retreat in Hawaii, Russ Whitney called me. He told me he wouldn’t be available for a while because he was going to have a heart transplant.

He’d been drinking and was clearly joking. He was also not completely ready to face the adventure that was ahead for him. I didn’t tell him that I knew what was really going on – there was no point. (Click here to download an excerpt from Inner Voice that will explain what was happening.) It would be more than six life-changing months before I heard from him again.

I had worked with Russ Whitney as the ghostwriter on three of his earlier books (four if you count the revision of his first commercially-published book Building Wealth) and on a number of other projects over the years. That gave me a front row seat to the series of events leading up to his departure for the extended stay in Hawaii where he began to understand Inner Voice.

As a ghostwriter, my job is to help my clients effectively communicate their message to their audience, whether it’s through books, ebooks, articles, blogs, speeches, or whatever we feel is appropriate. I enjoy the work and genuinely like all my clients (it’s one of my key policies – if I don’t like you, I won’t work for you), but when the project is done, it’s done and we all move on.

Russ Whitney Inner VoiceInner Voice: Unlock Your Purpose and Passion is different. This book is much more than one man’s very personal and candid story of his rise, fall and recovery. It’s a book about finding the true meaning of life, about how to discover our purpose and live it with passion in the peace and joy God intended us to know.

I don’t usually promote the books I ghostwrite because my clients prefer to keep my role in the process confidential. I'm recommending Inner Voice not only because Russ publicly acknowledges my contribution, but also because of its powerful message and practical advice.

Whether your life is spiraling out of control as Russ’ was or you could just use a little help figuring out what you’re supposed to be doing and the best way to get it done, the principles and strategies of Inner Voice will help. Click here to order your copy and share your thoughts below.
