How to Be Free

We all have hidden prisons-grief, anger, shame, trauma, self-doubt. But these prisons have doors. Drawing from his extraordinary journey from incarceration to New York Times bestselling author, resilience expert, and entrepreneur, Shaka Senghor reveals the mindset and proven practices that transformed his life-and can help anyone achieve their wildest dreams. When Shaka received his second parole denial after 18 years behind bars, he had a choice to make: surrender to despair or transform himself from within. He chose hope. And when he did, he realized his greatest barriers existed within his own mind-past narratives, survivor's remorse, fear, and the inability to forgive. This awakening led him to discover universal truths about freedom that apply far beyond prison walls and transform every aspect of life-from deepening our relationships to achieving career success. Through raw and powerful storytelling, Shaka reveals how we all grapple with invisible chains that hold us back. Drawing from profound lessons learned along his remarkable journey from solitary to the C-suite, he provides more than inspiration-he delivers a proven roadmap for transformation. Using daily practices like journaling, meditation, mindfulness, and creative expression, you'll turn your vision into action, discovering how to break free from whatever holds you back so you can step into your true potential. How To Be Free is your invitation to embrace joy, reclaim your narrative, and unlock the doors to the life you deserve.
