Breaking Down the Barriers

This book was written with an open heart. It contains no elaborate linguistic or rhetorical features. The events narrated in it flow without constraints like in a conversation with a good friend. My dreams, struggles, and most importantly my triumphs through the practice of positive thinking are the main topics of this "conversation" with the reader. By putting my story on paper, I aspire to nothing more than to share my life experiences with others who may find then helpful.

Ricardo Alberto Ramirez Salas was born on August 31, 1980 in the city and port of Acapulco, Guerrero. He obtained a degree in law from Universidad Loyola del Pacifico. After finishing his studies in 2005, he did his internship in a reputable law office in Acapulco. Later, he emigrated to the United States with the purpose of learning English. Due to his interest in this new language and seeing the opportunity to experience new adventures, he decided to establish himself in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he currently lives. He took a short trip to back to Acapulco in 2011 to take a Reiki course and expand his spiritual knowledge. His search for the positive things in life culminated in his writing the book Breaking Down the Barriers, in which he shares his personal experiences.
