About Paul:

The author of love is God. In His wisdom, He placed us in a variety of circumstances that require us to find our way back to His pure love. So, what qualifies Paul Zolman to speak about love? His childhood experience of the opposite of love. From that austere beginning and the distaste it formed inside him, he searched for and eventually created a method that transformed his life from anger to loving everyone. Growing up in a family of abuse, physical touch became his preferred love style only because of the regularity.

He could almost count on it. It was consistent. He came to think that was the way to express love. But deep inside, he knew that was a twisted belief. He wanted a better life for himself, which is why he created a paradigm shift that works. In this book, you’ll find what helped Paul Zolman move from a childhood boot camp of abuse to being a person who loves everyone and can find good about anyone in any circumstance. This is truly the role of love.

Denise Arnoudse is an ADHD/Anxiety Business Coach who helps women with ADHD/anxiety stop the overwhelming chaos driving their business and create a successful, purpose-filled business with a balanced life.

As someone with ADHD/anxiety, she spent years going from one coaching program to another, wondering why the strategies were not working for her. Finally, it dawned on her that these programs were not made for someone with ADHD/anxiety. She needed methods and strategies that spoke to this side of her to succeed. So she spent time researching, testing, and implementing strategies that work for her unique brain, and now passionately shares these strategies and tips with her audience and is spreading the word that ADHD/anxiety is perfect for a business... we just need to harness it, not work against it!
