    About this ebook

    Discover what keeps you stuck—and prepare for a miraculous breakthrough.
     
    What if self-improvement is a booby-trap? And what if there is actually a way to change one’s life—in all areas, all at once—by finding and shifting the one hidden issue that has been creating all of the stuckness all along?
     
    Coming out of an abusive childhood and then living with the outcomes of that ongoing pain, Brian D. Ridgway invested over $300,000 and tens of thousands of hours over thirty-plus years on self-help, personal development, and business/money/success courses—as his life got worse and worse.
     
    Finding himself in desperate circumstances, suicidal and stuck, he experienced an awakening that took him from homeless to living the dream in Hawaii in less than ninety days. In that awakening, he was given the Level 5 Paradigm. Since that “miracle moment,” he has been able to help people around the world to take their first steps into true freedom—and in this book, he tells his story.

      This is a good book, I’m greatful I came across it.
    • 1/5
      Would give 0 stars if I could. I searched for Christian self help and this garbage is what is recommended?! It is pure blasphemy. And it's pretty much just a book of this guy selling his services and more of his products, not worth reading.

    Break Your Self-Help Addiction - Brian D. Ridgway

    Introduction

    In truth, there is no such thing as learning. You have it all inside you now. There is only the process of making the implicit explicit.

    —Brian D. Ridgway

    Thank You for Picking Up This Book

    The simple fact that you are reading these first words tells me a few important things about you.

    First, it tells me that you are seeking to live an amazing life—and, second, that you are committed to transforming your present life. And that you’ve already put time, effort and money into creating the life of your dreams. And, finally, that you still have one or more life-issues you would like to resolve.

    Maybe parts of your life still flat-out suck.

    Maybe your life is already great, and you are just seeking the next level of awesomeness.

    Maybe, like me, you experienced a difficult, painful, abusive childhood, and you still experience the effects of it showing up in one or more areas of your life. Also, maybe like me, out of desperation, you’ve already tried many of the available solutions that promise to make life great—or even just to make it bearable.

    Maybe, like me, you’ve spent a ton of money, time and energy on self-help, personal development work, and spiritual approaches, hoping to finally find your happiness, freedom, power and peace. Perhaps you’ve had some positive results, but the deep scars and pains remain.

    Maybe, like many, you have accepted the possibility that you really are the one creating your life, and yet you’re unclear on exactly how you’ve been doing it—and more importantly, on how to stop doing it by default and how to begin to do it intentionally.

    Maybe, like me, you have spent a lot of time, energy and money on diving into the deep stuff and, finding yourself still stuck, you wonder if there might be something wrong with you—that maybe you are broken in some way.

    Let me promise you this right now: You are NOT broken. And you ARE creating it all.

    In the course of this book, I will make it clear, maybe more clear than you think is possible.

    You’ll discover:

    •exactly how you are creating your life as it is

    •how to stop doing it by default

    •How to END the endless self-help loop of hope> purchase> disappointment> hope…

    •and how to begin to consciously, intentionally create the Body, Health, Business, Wealth, Relationships, World and Life of your dreams—how to step into Total Personal Freedom

    If you have felt confused, unclear, frustrated or disappointed in how to actually do this, I want you to know that I can relate and I understand. This book may just be the thing to finally end your search.

    Before the breakthrough that set me free and that inspired me to write this book, my previous life was a train-wreck, a string of disasters, including multiple failed relationships, as well as the experience of making and losing a fortune (not once, but SEVEN times).

    During much of my life, I felt a combination of severe anger and depression—and for several years, the thought of suicide was my ever-present companion.

    I was certain that I needed help and was near-fanatical about pursuing any system or life-approach that offered hope of relief. My personal self-help focus was not a fun pursuit, a distraction or a luxury for me. It was a life or death
