18) Rose Cole - A Life of Contrast: How to Differ Strikingly
Rose Cole is a visionary leader and world-renowned speaker, co-author of ‘Audacious Aging’ alongside Deepak Chopra and Dr Andrew Weil, Shamanic Priestess, popular featured guest on TV networks such as E! and MSNBC, and preeminent mentor and spiritual guide who has helped thousands create thriving and awakened lives. Rose is a leading luminary in a new paradigm of heart-based entrepreneurs who are dedicated to embodying their highest potential: body, mind and soul, and illuminating the path for others to do the same. Rose’s path has been one of transcending adversity, trauma and several ‘dark nights of the soul’ in order to harvest the wisdom, strength and perseverance that such adversities inherently bring, and to share the power of possibility to benefit as many people as possible. Rose’s early childhood experiences of poverty, neglect, sexual abuse, and being bounced from home to home as a ‘ward of the court’, resulted in low self-worth, social anxiety, insomnia and a great difficulty in concentrating or retaining any information learned in school. Rose recalls her first feelings of depression and longing for her life to be over beginning at the age of seven. Falling through the cracks of a busy school system, Rose was labeled ‘learning disabled’, sent to special education and ostracized by her peers. At the age of eleven, when Rose’s deeply spiritual aunt and Native American uncle took her in and began raising her as their own, Rose’s highly intuitive and spiritual nature was fervently kindled, and she began avidly participating in sacred rituals such as sweat lodges and tipi ceremonies. Discovered by a modeling agent at age fourteen, Rose went on to enjoy a successful career with the exclusive Ford Modeling Agency spanning more than a decade. But behind her vibrant, smiling face on the Special ‘K’ box, Rose was struggling to keep it all together, with her unresolved trauma starting to surface in ways that became increasingly impossible to ignore. Rose had developed addictive behaviors in many areas of her life: from eating disorders, to drugs and alcohol, to tumultuous romantic relationships, unmitigated shopping habits and general tendency to create a chaotic environment in her world. On her journey towards finding a middle path, Rose found herself swinging between spiritually vacant and emotionally depleted lifestyles of materialism, glamour and shallow, unfulfilling relationships. This self-destructive pattern cul

2) Pam Grout - A Life of Contrast: How to Differ Strikingly
Pam Grout is a hopeless romantic who still believes the world is a beautiful place, that people are noble and that anything is possible. For a living (and she always wonders why people think that's such an important question), she writes books and articles for such magazines as People, Cooking Light and Travel & Leisure. She also enjoys writing bedtime stories for her daughter, but that's more about making a life than a living. She's keenly aware there's a huge difference. In making a life, she has traveled to all the world's continents, learned 59 ways to make a fort out of sofa cushions, perfected a mean tennis forehand and volunteered at a women's prison and free health clinic. Pam most recent book entitled “E-Squared” , which is published by world renknowned Hay House. It’s been on the New York Times Bestseller list for 12 weeks in a row now and hundreds of fans and friends on Amazon, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter are raving about it, Louise Hay says about the book: "We are all a magnet for miracles. And I find great joy in helping to inspire people to practice positive affirmations and learn to shift their thought patterns so that they, too, can experience the evidence in their own lives. As Pam also reminds us in her wonderful new book, E-Squared, we simply need to keep an open mind, trust our own experience, and believe."
—Louise L. Hay Here’s what Dr Wayne Dyer says: “I have always believed that we can direct the course of our own destiny. So I was anxious to read Pam Grout’s new book, E-Squared, and try some of the experiments showing how our thoughts create our reality. I decided to be cute and test this power of intention by asking for something that would not likely be found in my possession. When more than one hair scrunchie showed up in my house, I had to smile. It just validates once again one of my favorite mantras: You’ll see it when you believe it.”

1) Frank Ferrante - A Life of Contrast: How to Differ Strikingly
Frank Ferrante -I was born on August 26, 1951. According to my astrological chart, “peace and harmony are my battle cry.” (Talk about a perfect set-up for contradictions.) Apparently I am also “flashy but not gaudy and prefer to dress elegantly.” Obviously, my sartorial preferences reflect my greater spiritual depth.I have been, in no particular order, a NY City cab driver, scrap metal hauler, dishwasher, census taker, mail boy, ditch digger, bouncer, illegal narcotics distributor, general contractor, actor, and radio announcer, and carpenter. I am also an avid reader, seeker of God, weight gain/weight loss afficionado, ex-pot smoker, alcoholic, junkie, speed freak, raw foodist, vegan, lover, hater, father, husband, grad student, good guy, bad guy, social activist.Late in life, I finished my education and got an MA in humanities to sate a lifelong fascination in the subject. I’m particularly intrigued by the migration of cultures, peoples, and souls.As the subject of the documentary “May I Be Frank?,” I have become a spokesperson for personal transformation and weight loss. My experience dealing with these struggles from a holistic perspective compels me to speak about the power of transformation that rests in all of us. I am not an expert nor do I have the answer. I have witnessed the indisputable fact that we are all connected. What we do can and will make a difference. I have learned that the three most important things a man can say are: I don’t know. Would you please help me? I love you.
