About the Author

At sixteen, NEAL GOLDSTEIN dropped out of high school. It was the last in a long line of defeats for an underprivileged boy, self-raised, in a tumultuous home with an abusive father and a disabled mother. Neal did the only thing he could think to do: quit dreaming of a future, get a job, and look after his mom as well as he could.

Once Neal was able to find the genuine relationships he was searching for, he allowed himself to take the courageous steps of getting his high school equivalency diploma. Now, Neal Goldstein is a partner at the law firm of Goldstein and Bashner and lives with his wife Gina on Long Island. They have four children: Matt, Sari, Jessica, and Lana. He loves traveling, bicycle riding, and walking on the boardwalk in his hometown in his free time.

Editorial Reviews

"Far from just writing another self-help book, Neal Goldstein takes us into a world of despair and confusion and shows us what it takes to come out the other side. By weaving deeply personal and relatable stories together with general principles for success and happiness, Neal provides the reader with a strong foundation for growth that we all can relate to and, more importantly, that we can all learn from."

"I had the opportunity to work with Neal as a psychotherapist many years ago. Neal's book is a brave, vulnerable, authentic sharing of a very deprived, difficult, and painful childhood. The book is aimed at young people facing extraordinary adversity and struggling to find a path to move forward in their lives. What is unique about this book is that while telling his deeply moving story, he also provides hope and tools to navigate through it. A truly inspiring book!"
