Darren L Council

I never thought that I would write a book. However, here we are. I was born in Chester, PA (go Eagles), and I love a good Cheesesteak. I am an Army Veteran with seven years served and a tour to Iraq. I am married to the love of my life (18 years), and we have three beautiful children. There are a few things that I am passionate about, and they are Veteran Welfare, marriages, family, and teaching. Through my books, I intend to encourage those who need direction and motivation to head in the right direction.

Synopsis

This book is all about me - encouraging you to be the best version of yourself possible. Do you ever see a vision of what you're made of but need the right people in your ear to help you get there? You may need help seeing something and feel stuck with no purpose. This book is for you too! Do you need help finding people to motivate and encourage you? This interactive workbook will show you how to find your heroes, including the Hero within. Take a seat, grab something to write with - and prepare to shake up the world. This workbook is suitable for young men between the ages of 13-18.

Sometimes they come to us, many times we have to search for them, but most of the time the hero is in us.

Dedication

I want to dedicate this book to my son, Darren Jr. I named you after me because our name means great. I love you, son. I also want to dedicate it to all of the young black men who don't have the presence of a strong male role model in their life right now. I wrote this for you. To my Mom and Grandma, thank you for always being there. Last but not least, I want to give a Huge shout-out to my daughters and my
