Dr. William DeFoore’s book, Goodfinding, is inspirational. It manages to describe important, complex systems in easily understandable terms. The basic principles outlined in Goodfinding are laid out in very practical vignettes that make them immediately accessible to the person ready to put them in practice. Most impressive is Dr. DeFoore’s ability to put into practice, through his easy manner of relating to the reader, the very principles he describes in the text designed to promote self-confidence, self-acceptance, compassion, and optimism.

In Goodfinding, Dr. William DeFoore has made available to all of us a path, a way of using our mind and heart to make a positive contribution to life, starting with our own. It’s so clear: If we are likely to find what we are looking for, why not look for what is ‘good’? And when we truly appreciate people and things, we live up to the original meaning of that word: we see the positive value and quality of what is there.

Dr John. J. Scherer, author, leadership development facilitator and online resource

The Goodfinding practice of gratitude, appreciation, and optimism changed my everyday life immediately.  The whole book is a resource of practical self-care I’ll come back to regularly.  

As a professional in the financial planning industry, I find that people seem to worry about their money more than they give, invest, or spend it.  Dr. DeFoore’s chapter on finance empowers readers to take control of their financial story and begin to shape their dreams.

"I've read Serai through twice now and started on a third time. Each time becomes more personally revealing and inspiring. The childlikeness of Serai is trustworthy and vibrant with colorful detail. It touches a lot of soul, real quick!"

Steve Wilemon, an avid reader

"Serai appeared at a point in my life where fear threatened to immobilize me. The courage of the main characters on their journeys to the underworld helped me to navigate my own inner journey, and to welcome back and heal parts of myself I had never known existed."

Margie Mahoney, BS, RDH, Life Coach

“The book Serai is written in such a beautiful, magical way, with warriors and wizards and many wonderful characters. I related to all of them. Best of all it teaches you, without teaching you, how to rescue the child that you were."
