From the author of Compound Wealth and The Psychology of Higher Living comes what may be the most provacative discourse on the human condition and the many words man lives by. Glenn Grant takes you on an existential journey to illuminate the many facets of our ontological state of being alive. In this riveting new text, Glenn addresses the nihilism that plagues modern man and posits that many of us live by the rubric that we are what we own, what we earn and what we do—but there is so much more to each of us. This is the examined life as Grant traffics in the paradigm that many of us are not living our true passion in an age when people are faced with having to reinvent themselves or are in search of a greater meaning &amp; purpose to their lives. The narrative to your life is still not fully written and yet The Awakening will seek to ask what is consciousness and can a higher level of self awareness help to unlock our fullest potential. Through the lense of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle and many more Grant suggets a way forward that will help you manifest the life you truly want to live. This compelling collection of essays is a tour de force by one of America’s bright new voices.

Two vehicles more than any other have created more wealth for people—Starting your own business and investing in real estate. If either one of these is of interest to you—Compound Wealth is the book you must read! Glenn Grant is the founder of The Institute for Human Development and an active—passionate real estate investor &amp; business startup entrepreneur. He created an innovative system that follows mathematical formulas which produce above average returns for investors. In the 1990’s Grant was active in business startups and running a boutique investment banking firm working with hundreds of entrepreneurs. Like many people, Glenn was tired of the ups and downs of the stock market—which returned a meager —2% for the Dow and a loss for investors of almost —1% for the S&amp;P 500 in 2015. In trying to understand how to create wealth, we have come to accept low returns on our investments that average 4%. With his passion for startups &amp; real estate investing—developing, rehabbing and new home construction &amp; building, Glenn illuminates the strategies that will help you create wealth in real estate or help you manifest the success with your new startup venture and secure your financial future. Grant takes us on an existential and thought provoking journey as we look at the financial vehicles and choices that we have in our economy and why many of them fail to provide us with the returns that we need to create true wealth and financial security. Eviscerated by the dense fog of the Great Recession of 2008, 5.3 million Americans lost their homes. In an effort to transcend this state—Compound Wealth brings strategies and real world ideas that will arm you with a blueprint to secure your financial freedom. From the author of the book and film The Awakening, The Psychology of Higher Living and host of YouTube’s Existential TV, Grant promulgates that much of our economic life is mired in excessive debt, maxed out credit card and mortgage debt, vehicles we drive that we struggle to afford and for a small stratum of our society—esoteric hedge fund and venture capital deals that are out of reach for the average investor in a cyclical—technology driven and complex economy that makes millions of people building 401k or IRA’s confused. In stirring essays of loss and despair to the long road of redemption—Compound Wealth is more than just a financial book—it’s a remarkable tale on the power of the human spirit to endure and ultimately create the life we want.
