NEW BOOK BY PATRICK
The Hero's journey, as told in countless myths, legends, and stories, remains relevant. Internationally acclaimed consultant and teacher Patrick O'Neill shares his personal hero's journey of leaving behind the cutthroat public relations world to create a path for himself while living in accordance with his ideals. But this book is so much more than just one man's story–O'Neill connects the processes, pitfalls, and triumphs of his story to ancient myths, clarifying the common threads of human struggle and illuminating the profound wisdom at the heart of human experience.
The Only Certain Freedom is an inspirational yet practical guide for budding entrepreneurs who are driven to test the courage of their convictions, discover the universal truths that underlie their personal journey, and turn their nascent hope for a more fulfilling life and career into reality.

The statuary and vaulted timber ceiling of the medieval great hall lead the eye to wander and the mind to muse on Britain’s strangest quirk — its centuries of continuity. Grace is said, claret is served, glasses clink and dreaminess sets in...
