Choose Your Story, Choose Your Life (Paperback)

Author Dean Erickson demonstrates the importance of choosing your best personal story, the version you use to describe your life to yourself and others. If that story is derived from the worst events of your past, instead of the best, you can negatively affect your present and future. Through an in-depth and emotionally evocative exercise, valuable suggestions, motivational quotes, and one very powerful question, Erickson leads you with humor, encouragement, and insight to find your best story and helps you get rid of negative beliefs that keep you from living your best life.

While writing multiple movie scripts, he worked on a mystery novel for ten years, ultimately completing No One Laughs at a Dead Clown under the name, DC Erickson.When a computer glitch caused the loss of his outline for novel number two, he turned to the self-help genre. This book is the result and was published a few short months later.

Achieve. introduces his newly-created Idea Circle™ to explain the process of achieving success and offers tools and techniques to help readers achieve success more quickly and consistently.

He lives in California with his wonderful wife, Lisa.
