What People are Saying About This
"Having known Cyrus Webb and witnessing his skills as an interviewer for almost a decade I can comfortably say he is the King of Conversations. He has a way of not just putting you at ease but leaving you inspired and motivated. In the world we live in today we need more of that.
Aside from Webb himself being a positive force in the world he has brought us the stories of individuals around the world who we know because of what they do today but maybe not for the journey as to how they got there. In POWER YOUR LIFE WITH THE POSITIVE Cyrus shares those journeys and allow us to see that you don't have to be a person in the public eye to find happiness and to leave a more positive and fulfilling life. The other thing that each chapter shows is that we don't know how we might inspire someone else due to our positive outlook, and that makes the book even more essential for us all.
Having being a celebrity publicist for over 30 years I have seen my show of people who could use a dose of positivity not just for their career but their life. A book like this delivers that for those who read it, and that makes it a must-read for all those who are looking to change their lives and affect others in a positive way. "
-Angelo Ellerbee, CEO of Double Xxposure Media Relations
Interviews
Sharing the profiles of individuals in the public eye who have been able to achieve great things in their lives, this book reminds the reader that no matter where they live or may currently be with the right outlook, dedication and hard work anything is possible. It is my hope that on those days when the reader is down they can turn to POWER YOUR LIFE WITH THE POSITIVE for that inspiration to keep going.
