My book The Dirty Nasty Truth: 18 True Crime Stories & 10 Life in Prison Stories to Stop Juvenile Delinquency provides penetrating insight into the criminal mind. Teachers, juvenile justice personnel and organizations concerned with at-risk youths endorse the book as a powerful tool for deterring delinquency. My status as an ex-con, delinquency intervention speaker/counselor, and researcher who interviewed more than 100 criminals, gives me a singular perspective on the root causes of criminal behavior.

Check out my website HTTP://www.johnbarretthawkins.com. You will find numerous videos, where I tell true crime stories and prison stories that deter teens from drugs, drinking, bullying, gangs, shoplifting, violence and crime.

I am a recovering outlaw who spent the last 20 years studying books on personal growth and human achievement. Along the way I took copious notes and compiled all of the most insightful information into a personal excellence program, which serves as my new code of conduct. My quest to overcome my character flaws inspired me to write two self-improvement books – Penitentiary Fitness: The Amazing Weight Loss Formula or A Bodyweight Exercises & Workouts Training Program and Principles of Grace: A Parable to Find Meaning in Life, Build Self-Confidence, Overcome Low Self-Esteem, Set Goals and Land Your Dream Job.

One of my core beliefs is noble intention is one of most powerful forces in the universe. Every human being is born with passions and talents, and when those unique gifts are used to serve others, we tap into powerful attractor fields of consciousness that magnetically attract the individuals and events required to fulfill our purpose in life.

My passion is entrepreneurship. My mission is to focus that passion on marketing my books, as well as other products and services that aspire to enrich people's lives. My ongoing journey to fulfill this mission is documented in a video blog, which is available at my author website HTTP://www.John Barrett Hawkins.com.
