"If you don't see the book you want on the shelf, write it".
Beverly Cleary
$20
We’re taught to keep going, to hold on, and to avoid disappointing others at any cost. So we stay too long in relationships, roles, and routines we’ve quietly outgrown. We say yes when our hearts are whispering no. Over time, our lives become a series of commas: pauses, hesitations, and half-decisions. The End. invites you to break that cycle once and for all.
This isn’t a book about slamming doors or walking away in anger. The End. is a compassionate, clarity-based roadmap for recognizing what no longer serves you and releasing it with grace. With honesty, warmth, and encouragement, The End. helps you stop writing run-on sentences in your life and career and start embracing the quiet power of a well-placed period.
Every ending holds the seed of a brand new beginning and you deserve to live a life that reflects the truth of who you are.

Inspirational speakers and writers are many, but only a few know how to reach the heart of someone seeking guidance in the dilemma of life. This is what makes John popular with all ages. Like a priest in a confessional, John has heard it all, however, his thoughtful solutions are tailored to each individual who seeks his counsel. Wisdom Through Failure is a shining example of John's commitment to making our world a better place.

John writes in a manner that is thought provoking, heartfelt and most importantly, easy to understand. Like so many of us, I have struggled with fear, self doubt and a false belief about perfection. Knowing Sh#t From Shinola reminded me to accept that I AM good enough, I AM smart enough and that I have a divine purpose to fulfill. In short, I matter!

John's book, Wisdom Through Failure, is filled with amazing insights that make you stop, think and refocus. I love the way this book is arranged in mini essays, making it easy to dip in and out of while finding inspiration for your day. John's wisdom, humor and humility shine through on every page.

For years, I held myself hostage to my self doubts and fear of failure. John's books have helped me realize I am not alone. I am one of millions of people who have experienced the same challenges and feelings. Yes, there is comfort in numbers! John writes in a very honest, thoughtful manner and breaks down complex emotional issues in a way that makes them much easier to understand and most importantly move away from.

Far too many personal development books promote a "magic bullet" or a "secret formula" that will somehow miraculously change our lives. John's books encourage personal responsibility. He teaches that our outcomes are based solely on our decisions and choices. He gives us a road map and then encourages us to chart our own course. John is truly about empowerment!

Your book came today. I started reading it and kept finding myself smiling or crying. So many of the things I have struggled with for years seem so inconsequential in the big scheme. Your chapter on embracing mistakes really hit home. I just ordered Wisdom Through Failure.

WTF is raw and real. John shares his experiences and thoughts on life and business in a way that gives you hope and reminds you that you are not the only one going through things. Practical, heartfelt and enlightening. Great book!

I have worked with John for the past 8 years. As a coach, John has
consistently reinforced the importance of establishing boundaries in
life and business. The word NO has become the most important word in
my business vocabulary. NO to time wasters, energy draining tasks and
NO to over committing in my personal life. Setting boundaries has
allowed me to grow my business and become a more checked in husband, dad and friend. The End. is a must read for anyone who desires to live life on their terms.

For years, I was an "angry giver". I focused on making everyone in my
personal and professional circles happy. The only one I didn't focus
on was me. Working with John opened my eyes to what it truly means to
be self-centered. I have learned to focus on my needs and my happiness
and to find a balance between what I do for myself and what I give to
others. This awareness has made a profound difference in the overall
quality of my life experience. It feels so good!

John has absolutely hit a Home Run with The End. As a lifelong people pleaser, I was excited when John asked me to pre-read his amazing new book, The End. Turning Life's Commas Into Periods. John provides his readers with a comprehensive roadmap for finally placing the periods in our life where they belong. His metaphorical use of grammar to mimic life's pauses, hesitations, questions, continuances and endings, is brilliant! I loved reading The End. and I highly recommend it to anyone who is ready to start saying no to the things that drain you and yes to the things that actually matter.

I plan to order a copy of The End. for all of my employees. The End. offers you a blueprint for taking complete ownership of your life and business. YOU are the architect of your life experience and this in my opinion, is the most empowering realization a person can have. The End. gives you permission to end things that no longer serve you and to begin things that are more in alignment with your beliefs and values. I loved reading The End. Thanks Coach J!

John’s metaphorical use of commas and periods is ingenious. So many of us hesitate, procrastinate, and avoid discomfort by adding commas to our lives, when what we really want is to place a period at the end of our finished sentence and move on. If you're ready to unapologetically release what drains your energy, The End. is a must-read.

When I started working with John, I was the very definition of an "angry giver." I did everything possible to make sure my husband, children, friends, family, co-workers and employers were pleased and happy. My needs and my happiness took a backseat to my incessant need to be needed, and it routinely left me feeling very disappointed in myself. With this being said, you would have never known it, because I served everyone with a pasted on smile. Working with John and then reading his new book, The End. has really put "over giving" into perspective. If you struggle with people pleasing, READ THIS BOOK! John gives you a roadmap for breaking the cycle once and for all. Thanks Coach "J".

Home run brother! The End. is a permission slip to set boundaries rooted in self respect, not guilt or fear. Reading The End. has caused me to recognize several places in my life where I have stayed way too long, and it provides a roadmap for placing a period and moving on. Thanks for writing this amazing book! Cheers!
