Beyond Self Help

Dr. Eric Johnson was born and raised in Chicago, IL and as a youth he experienced many of the challenges faced by young Black males in large cities; drugs, poverty, gangs, violence, teenage parenthood and educational trials chief among them. As an adult he has had to endure a variety of the common tribulations confronted by many: including divorce, financial hardship, and familial sufferings. This book is offered as a testimony that life is not about weathering the storm, its more about dancing in the rain. He writes this book to encourage others to seek a deep sense of peace and joy that can only be experienced by pursuing our better selves and encouraging the people we share space with to do the same.
