John Adams didn't cut a dashing figure like George Washington. He was not the darling of France, as was Benjamin Franklin. He was not a wealthy and statuesque plantation owner like Thomas Jefferson. Adams was highly opinionated, blunt, and often tactless in his social interactions. To top it off, he was short, fat, and awkward. This does not sound like the description of a Founding Father we should want to know any better - but that's where you're wrong.

I want to take you on a journey of what anger is and how to conquer it or use it for good. Everyone has their own beliefs about what anger is and if it's good or bad. For 20 years of my life, I lived in fear, and that caused me to feel angry about my life. I was hanging around angry people, and I felt like I had no control. I worked out that most people who are depressed have repressed anger inside, and that's why they feel that way.

You can live your ideal life if you see the big picture of where you're heading. We're always rationalizing that "someday I'll be happy", and someday never comes. Today is your day to wake up and start living with purpose, and I'll show you the secret formula to get you there.

What I have learned over the last decade is that everyone experiences anxiety, but most people let it run their lives, and it makes you feel like you're not in control. I want to help you and give you all of the tips that can help you overcome your fears and start living the life you're truly meant to live.
