Addison C. Arthur’s book, Spinning on Your Own Axis: A New Beginning offers a wealth of information for the reader who is looking for a way to change various aspects of his/her life. Arthur covers a broad range of issues that a person will inevitably face during their lifetime - from finances and organization, to brain health and meal planning.
Arthur offers a refreshing approach to solution-oriented, self-help style books. In A New Beginning, the reader is presented with suggestions and information that is unbiased, and (largely) empirical in nature. Arthur comprises his material in a way that is neither pushy nor overly authoritative. Rather, the information and suggestions are accompanied with ample research and real-life applications that serve to facilitate the reader’s understanding of the material presented. Arthur does a superb job at letting the book “speak for itself.”
A New Beginning is a beautiful illustration of what a “how-to” guide for life should look like. As humans, we all face times of crises and uncertainty, and A New Beginning would be a wonderful resource for any individual to have at his/her disposal during such times (as well as on a day-to-day basis). I have yet to come across another book that demonstrates so eloquently the importance, necessity, and “how-to” of establishing and constructing a stable base which will serve as your guidepost through life. Arthur has truly graced all those willing to explore A New Beginning with a gift that could only be repaid by sharing it with others; I have, and I strongly encourage you to do the same- you may end up saving a life.
