My dear friend, Michael Eisen, has co-written a book with his father that if read by enough people has the potential to change the world! That's a big statement, but this book deals with a BIG subject - deconstructing the paradigms and beliefs that contribute to anxiety, stress, and unrest within the family unit. The book is called Empowered YOUth: A Father and Son's Journey to Conscious Living and I am recommending this as a 'must-read' to everyone I know.Empowered YOUth is the heartfelt story of Michael and Jeffrey Eisen who rose up from a tumultuous, emotional past to come together in a loving, respectful relationship as father and son; coach and student. They provide a refreshing perspective on how parents and children can work together to empower and support one another by opening the channels of communication, dissolving fear, and surrendering the need for control.With a perfect balance of moving stories, applied learning, and practical wisdom, Empowered YOUth offers guidance and insights for parents, young people and educators. Some people will instantly relate to Jeffrey's struggle to connect with his children, provide for his family, and listen to his own heart's desire, while others will love Michael's honest and emotional examination of an angst-filled childhood laden with stress, sadness, isolation, and self-inflicted pressure. Most will recognize themselves in, and relate to, either Michael or Jeffrey's story.

Through this story of a relationship broken apart and put back together, this father and son provide inspiration for those looking to empower the next generation in a more loving, open and intuitive way. Empowered YOUth will leave readers feeling hopeful, passionate, and optimistic.But don't just take my word for it! Check out Michael and Jeffrey's video about their journey to a healthy, loving relationship and working on this book together.To healthy relationships! xoxoAlisa
