Charlotte, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/24/2014 -- After the Thanksgiving turkey settles, Americans can somewhat smell the “cha-chings” in the air as December’s Holiday season approaches and the buying frenzies begin. But, does buying really make these people happy? If so, why do they have to repeat it each year? Certified Change Agent Sharon Johnston knows the truth; millions of Americans are caught in a materialism epidemic, and research is consistently showing that they’re deeply unhappy. In her compelling and potentially life-changing new book, Johnston provides a panacea for all materialistic ills by putting readers back in sync with nature.

‘The Nature of Change: A 12 Step Journey to Mastering Conscious Change by Ditching Materialism and Embracing your Wildly Natural Self’ may sound unconventional, but it’s the wake-up call almost every American needs. The book makes a compelling case for the dangers of rejecting the laws of nature, while laying out a simple blueprint to help anyone find true happiness and harmony by reconnecting with their innate ‘wild living’ principles.

Synopsis:

Searching for a way to get more out of life than stress, poor health, and discontentment? Have you already given change a shot, but it didn’t stick? Made up your mind to make a change, but need some tips?

Then your luck has changed for the better! Certified change agent and health coach Sharon Johnston is about to connect the dots of standalone philosophies and research to form the stepping stones of your exciting journey to a happier and more fulfilling life. Her strategies tease out the innate knowledge everyone carries within—knowledge of how to live in harmony with nature, your body, and others. It’s a new model that is soul-centered, challenges commonplace and conventional thinking, and dilutes the theory down into bite-sized nuggets that are easily digested, when taken moment by moment.

Start questioning societal norms like materialism and egotism. Challenge yourself by asking the tough questions, and let these steps and strategies direct you out of the darkness and into light and love, where life is healthier, full of joy, and mutually beneficial to everyone and everything around you!

“Let’s face the facts; 10% of Americans are clinically depressed, 35% are obese, we have an unprecedented health-crisis and most people are living in a dangerous cocktail of materialism, egotism and narcissism,” explains Johnston, also a board-certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach.

“We have deviated from our wild nature, and are struggling to thrive with our highly processed, modified food; drug-driven healthcare and chemical-laden environment where we, as the USA, are responsible for 15% of global carbon emissions. While most resist conscious change, my book will help them deconstruct what is driving their need to consume, and return them to the natural dynamics of living. The result is a new place of joy, no stress and a collective betterment for society.”

Continuing, “Each chapter contains a set of principles that helps to establish the right mindset before embarking on a series of Change Strategies. It is a triple thread of soul, mind and body work that are woven together into a spiral that grows and expands as the level of consciousness develops through the change journey. Mother Nature will always be our best teacher, and now is the time to once again listen to her.”

Since its release, the book has garnered critical acclaim. JG comments, “If you are feeling stuck in your life or not sure how to take the steps forward into living the life you desire - pick up this book! Sharon gives the reader a comprehensive look at what we can do to shift our lives into being full, rich and vibrant.”

Kimberly Ann Petrosino adds, “This is a deeply profound and very eloquently written book. The author gives you the tools needed to naturally reconnect with your true self in the form of affirmations or 'Wild Self Principles' and additional resources on her website.”

Liz Palmieri-Coonley sees universal appeal for the author’s work. She writes, “This book is totally speaking my language. The message here is absolutely fabulous and we are in desperate need of it. I love that the author has laid out the process in 12 easy steps. We need a copy of this book in every household.”
