My Commitment
This is my personal commitment to you.
Every copy of Cold Showers — The Journey Within is handled directly — signed, prepared, and placed into your hands with intention.
Some are shipped.
Some are picked up.
Some are handed across counters, parking lots, hockey arenas, churches, and local shops.
However it reaches you — it is handled the same way.
I take the time to inscribe each book when requested, include a written author’s declaration, and prepare each one with care. Not because it is required — but because I believe it matters.
The declaration included with the book is simple:
That is not a formality. It is the standard I hold myself to — from the first word written to the life this work lives with you after it is received.
I have chosen to keep pricing as low as possible while still delivering something complete — even when that means including more than what would normally be expected.
This approach is based on a simple principle: when value is given properly, it returns in its own time. I am grateful for that.
So the goal here is not just to sell a book.
It is to give something that is finished, handled properly, and received as it was meant to be.
My Value Philosophy
My philosophy is simple.
There is a way of working where something is followed before it is fully understood. It begins without a clear end, but with a sense that it is right. Step by step, piece by piece, it is built — not perfectly, but honestly — through time, effort, through moments that stretch beyond what feels painfully reasonable.
As what we do takes form, it asks more. More attention, more patience, more of what is available to give. Sometimes it speaks back with a clue of clarity. There are certain points, the weight of effort becomes visible — in time, in the dimensions of cost & investment, what is, is what will be. That moment does not mark the end. It clarifies what actually is. Thus, complete in proper form. (rarely perfect – but proper)
Not reduced to recover what was spent, unable to be reshaped to secure a specific number, and prevented from being held back.
Given as it stands.
What is made in this life & in this way carries something. It does not end at the point of exchange. It continues — in use, in meaning, in the places it reaches and the ways it is received.
And in time, it returns. In this understanding, not always directly or immediately. Always in proportion to placement with more. True singular effort – encapsulated time, pure intention. Not limited to one form. But exist in anything built in care — a book, art, works, a system, a structure, an idea brought fully on to the world.
The form changes. These principles do not.
A smile, a gentle word when least expected, from an echo that was enough to engage countless lives to reach someone who needed it most.
The True Value
Forget the number for a second.
Forty-two dollars.
That’s where this actually starts.
Not one book — two.
Two full works. 555 pages each. Built, not rushed. Finished, not cut down.
Both signed.
Both inscribed.
Both handled, not pulled from a shelf and dropped in a box.
There is a declaration placed inside — not printed as filler, but written as a line between the author and the reader.
There is a package around it.
A thank you that isn’t automated.
Extras that don’t need to be there — but are.
Time is in it.
Attention is in it.
Intention is in it.
And beyond what arrives physically — there is more attached to it.
Access. Material. Practices. Work that continues beyond the page.
This is not a single item being purchased.
It is the work, the handling of it, the web portal, the practices, methods not taught elsewhere — and everything that comes with this as living, legacy literature.
The book is part of it.
Not the limit of it.
So the question isn’t really about the number.
It’s whether something like this — done this way — is worth it to the person holding it.
For the right person,
It’s not even close.
The second copy is gift-wrapped to be passed along.
