Jim Parkes September 11 2001 was the catalyst for change. It was at that point that the Jim Parkes realised that he was not following his true destiny in life. This was the start of a three year journey into making life changing decisions. He was introduced to the concepts of Personal Development in 2003 and then finally, in March 2004, after working 27 years in corporate life for a large utility company, he realised that there was so much more that he was supposed to be doing with his life.

Since then has never looked back and life has taken Jim into new and exciting (ad)ventures.

"Seriously, Are You Taking The Peace?" is Jim's first novel and his unique style of writing has a wide appeal to those who are new to the concepts of Personal Development, self–awareness and expression.
"Peace In A Box"
Available In Stores Now!

Dear Visitor

Peace in a box? If only it were that simple...

It seems we can buy almost anything today and yet those fundamental feelings of happiness, contentment and peace (all free to those who seek them) are more elusive than ever.

Well, I'd like to tell you about my first book...

"Seriously, Are You Taking The Peace?"

...and hopefully persuade you to buy a copy, for yourself and the people you love.

I'll tell you why your purchase means so much in a moment but first, here's a bit about the book...

It follows the story of how one man’s humdrum life is transformed when he finds “peace in a box” at his local supermarket and is full of metaphors, stories and exercises to help readers "take the peace” too. I've mixed humour with solid "peace principles" to help you create a remarkable life for yourself and the people you love.

Now, just a few things you should know...
  1. ALL of my royalties (which equals 50% of the profit) are going to ChildLine. I used to volunteer as a counsellor for this wonderful charity and know first hand what an important role it plays.

  2. Brian Tracy (yes that one!) said of my book:
    "This book will show you how to get the most out of yourself and others, for the rest and best of your life."

  3. You can read my "Peace Man" blog here...

  4. You can view the complete Jacket Artwork here...

  5. You can get a free preview of the book here...

  6. You can buy a copy of my book from Amazon here...

  7. You can buy a copy of my book from Bookshaker (where more profit goes to ChildLine) here...
Well, that's about it! I do hope you go and take a look and why stop at just one copy, I'm sure you know other people who deserve more peace in their lives too.

Best Wishes
Jim Parkes

PS All my author royalties from this book are going directly to ChildLine, so if you like the look of it then I urge you to buy it today.
