Warren Graham: Eye of the Storm

A few month's ago, my friend Warren Graham from the US sent me a copy of his new book, Eye of the Storm. I have known Warren since we met on Okinawa back in 2010 - a trip that was to hugely influence both of our lives.  I deeply regret not spending more time with Warren during that stay and it was only really after our return from Okinawa that we started swapping messages.  An incredibly interesting guy, Warren is also a very accomplished martial artist and one of the top professionals in his field as a sought after security, safety and customer service consultant. I'm certain that our paths will cross again in the future and it is my pleasure to write a little about what I found to be very inspiring read.    ​

This book is about helping readers explore whatever may be keeping them from being happy and fulfilled.  Warren draws from his own personal experience to lay bare some of the trauma he's endured in his early life, highlighting the challenges he's had to face and overcome along the way.  Not an easy subject to write about, but one that he's made a sterling job of. He also shares stories from his martial arts training with some of the greats, including the likes of Joe Lewis and Ted Wong. He even devotes a chapter to that influential trip to Okinawa in 2010.   
What really strikes me about this book is that it is genuine, honest and straight from the heart. It touches on subjects that may sometimes be hard to face and provides insight into how one may break free from what Warren calls, 'personal tyranny'.  It shows how the energy caused by the negative aspects of our lives may be channelled and converted into a positive force for growth.  

​It is obvious that Warren holds a real passion to share what he has learned so that others may benefit and use his experience to help enrich their own lives.  The fact that I already know Warren and can vouch for his character made this book even more enjoyable for me.  And those who don't know Warren will feel as if they do after reading it. 

All in all, I honestly think that this short but incredibly stimulating book may well have the capacity to change lives.      
Eye of the Storm is available from Amazon now...
