FORMER SELF-HELP JUNKIE CHALLENGES READERS TO STOP WAITING FOR ANSWERS FROM OTHERS IN NEW BOOK WAITING FOR JACK

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) April 8, 2010 -- Los Angeles, CA — April 2010 — In an unconventional yet life-affirming chronicle that is part memoir and part how-to guide, Kristen Moeller’s new book WAITING FOR JACK (Morgan James Publishing, April, 2010) inspires readers to end the eternal search for something outside themselves, stop the endless waiting for answers from others to their stalled lives, and finally live life more fully by falling in love with their own humanity. The book’s subtitle summarizes her take-action message: “Confessions of a Self-Help Junkie – How to Stop Waiting and Start Living Your Life.”

Moeller’s personal life transformation offers real-life instruction in how people caught in a “bottomless quest of self-help” can stop the waiting and hoping for direction from others and move forward to embrace their own life every day in a “fierce disruption of the ordinary.” In a genuine, authentic voice, Moeller describes her own life challenges — years filled with addictions from severe eating disorders, alcohol and drugs to earning her master’s degree, evolving as a “self-help junkie” and realizing a successful career as life coach, speaker and author, among other accomplishments.

She tells of her constant search for meaningful change – being a seeker and never a finder herself. Following one memorable exchange, where she boldly introduces herself to renowned author and speaker Jack Canfield, who co-wrote Chicken Soup for the Soul © and The Success Principles, Moeller found herself obsessively waiting for his specific advice on how to improve her situation.

A life-changing moment came when Moeller determined that the answers would not come from “waiting for Jack,” who represented all the desires people wait for — more money, romance, children, retirement, even life’s purpose. Moeller realized instead, as she urges readers through real life examples, that people need to free themselves from the “self-help treadmill” and unleash their own inner ability to create lives of greater fulfillment.

Moeller details just how effective looking from within – not “waiting for your own Jack” – can end the cycle of waiting, searching and never finding. For more information, go to www.waitingforjack.com .
