The Story of "Within"

What if I told you that "the work" I did in Federal Prison transformed me from broken to whole in two years?

My name is Mark Moskowitz and I am the author of Within. I wrote this book because I know how it feels to question every aspect of your life. To be alone, even when surrounded by friends and family. To always be looking outside of myself for answers and to have that lead you down a dark and desperate path.

Writing this book is just one part of my mission to help people that struggle with feelings of unfulfillment, unhappiness and a sense of "is all there is to my life".

My hope is that, in reading this book, you will discover the power within yourself to create the happiest and most successful life imaginable. I want you to see this book as an opportunity to learn from the mistakes I made and to know that your self-image is important to your success.

You will never rise above the level of your self-image and you cannot derive a healthy self-image from others. You must look within to find the answers.

You will love this book if you enjoy reading a story of tragedy to triumph; hearing about how life in a Federal Prison really works and how one man’s journey led him to unlock the secrets of happiness through his own struggles and relentless pursuit of his own personal growth

Ultimately, I hope that Within inspires reflection and fruitful dialogue, pressing into engaging questions like:

• How does our self-image play a role in our success or failure in life?
• When we become the best version of ourselves, can we help to make positive change in the world?
• If individuals begin to take responsibility for all of their actions, instead of blaming others, will that help society to become more harmonious?

I really look forward to exploring these questions and beyond with my readers!

About the Author

Mark Moskowitz is an Author, Speaker and Coach. After years of searching for what ailed him mentally and emotionally, he found the answer in the most unlikely of places, Federal Prison. It was in moments of solitude that he was able to search his brain and come up with answers. His perspective on his childhood was one of emotional neglect and it manifested in a lifetime of poor decisions. In prison, Mark came across books that taught him about self-esteem and the importance of self-image. Through much hard work, he healed those emotional wounds and now makes it his passion and career to help others that experience that same loneliness and sadness that he once felt.

Mark Moskowitz is a certified Life Coach, Author, Speaker and frequent podcast guest. He is an avid athlete and loves exercise, golf, skiing and hiking.

One day in prison, I knew I had to tell my story and there was a reason I was sent to that place other than my crime. My fall was extreme, but life can be a slippery slope that can alter things in a hurry. But now I know through a few small, but powerful mindset shifts you can change the course of your life, or that of someone you love.

As far as I have come, I know there are still miles to go. I am forever introspective about my actions each and every day. I strive for perfection but know that it is unattainable. I forgive myself quickly for my misgivings and move on to the next day.

Risks & Challenges

The biggest challenge with publishing a book is delivering the finished book to the backer, specifically my mailing of the book to you. I have eliminated this risk by building into the campaign the mailing and shipping costs of your signed copies to you within each pre-order tier.

The risk of delivering the pre-sale copies of my book is contingent on the publisher we use. I will be working closely with New Degree Press to make sure we get the earliest possible ship date of the signed book copy to you. We will keep all pre-sale backers up-to-date as my book hits each key milestone and publishes. You will know when the copies are expected to ship.

Other Ways You Can Help

Not everyone can support, but that doesn't mean you can't get something out of it!

I will reward the top 3 people who refer the most backers at the end of the campaign (30 days). Here's how:

At the top of the campaign page, you will see the "share" buttons. Click on the "chain" icon to get a custom link just for you. (Note: don't use the URL in the browser window as it won't work to track referrals and you won't get credit ?)

Copy that link and paste it on your social media, email it to a friend, or text a fellow book lover.

When someone clicks on that link and backs the book, you get 1 entry!

Please use #Within and tag me as well as my publisher, New Degree Press, so we can help amplify your efforts!
