Brothers Are You Listening Author:Michael Taylor Author and entrepreneur Michael Taylor has introduced a new book, Brothers, Are You Listening?, offering advice specifically to black men, a segment of the American population that is seldom targeted in success and personal growth literature. Taylor draws on his own experiences of both failure and success, and has produced a lively, reada... more »ble book that offers a prescription of optimism and hard work that maps a solid road to success for its readers. Taylor is an entrepreneur, author and motivational speaker who has overcome many of the obstacles facing black Americans, including racism, poverty, divorce and foreclosure. Now he is building a life many only dream of, and is living proof that anything is possible. Never has there been such a need for a positive voice as his to spread hope, optimism, possibility and solid, well-grounded "how-tos" to a group of Americans that all too often is overlooked. Now in its second printing, Brothers, Are You Listening? is filled with insights and specific directions to assist men (and women) who are ready to take control of their lives and not settle for anything less than mastery. Taylor challenges the reader to focus attention on four all-encompassing facets of life: the intellectual, the emotional, the physical and the spiritual. Once these areas are in balance, the reader is free to experience the fullness of life for which we all strive. "The greatest challenges for the new millennium are not racism, discrimination and poverty but our willingness to embrace our own humanness. By embracing our humanness, we lay the foundation for the elimination of the majority of our social ills. " states Taylor. Taylor's prescription is a challenging one, and not easily attained by the common man. But few readers will see themselves as "common" after walking in Taylor's shoes, relating to the lessons life has taught him and following his valuable suggestions.« less
