Karma Slap: Using Life's Lessons to Move Forward

Nicknamed "Captain Peril" by his daughters, author B. Alan Goetz uses what he calls Karma Slaps or the painful lessons in life we experience to learn and grow. From choosing the wrong career three times to having more animals than humans in his house, Alan has made more errors than humanly possible in one lifetime, yet lives to tell the tale. It took 25 years for him to understand that Karma Slaps are really a wakeup call to change the course of your life for the better. They may be painful, but they're nothing more than lessons we put ourselves through to learn and grow.

With a combination of storytelling, common sense, practical advice and a bit of humor, Alan recounts many of the Karma Slaps he's endured to use as examples for the reader to relate to and learn from.

But this book is not just about stories, it's about reclaiming your life. Alan offers real and practical guidance from someone who's walked the trail of tears you may currently find yourself on. One of his unique approaches uses what many people would call the greatest nuisance yet frequent source of entertainment in their life: the smartphone. By using your smartphone, you can capture a flash of inspiration, a thought, notion or understanding no matter when it happens or how busy you are.

It's time to think about your life from a new perspective, and with information you've always had but never tapped into. By using this book as a guide, you can determine which priorities to put front and center, so you can act with awareness.
