People search for a free self help book every single day, and most of what they find is a ten page PDF written to sell them something else. I wanted to offer something different, so I give away the complete edition of my book Elara: How Losing Herself Became the Road Back Home. Not a sample, not a summary. The same book a reader buys in the store edition.
Elara is a true story of survival. It follows one woman through human trafficking, imprisonment in North Korea, and the long road back to herself. It works as a free personal development book because the second half of the story is about rebuilding: how a person picks up her own worth after it has been taken apart piece by piece.
How to get your free copy
The process takes about two minutes. Subscribe to my YouTube channel, come back to the free book page on this site, and leave your email in the form. The complete eBook arrives in your inbox a few minutes later. You can read it on your phone, your tablet, or your computer, tonight if you want to.
There is no cost and no catch. I only use your email to send the book and, once in a while, news about new work. Unsubscribing takes one click and the book stays yours.
Why free instead of a sample
A sample chapter is an advertisement. A complete book is a gift, and I would rather give the gift. The story deals with hard things, trafficking, survival, the years of quiet work it takes to trust yourself again, and those subjects only mean something when you can follow them all the way through.
It is the same reason the sleep music, the audiobooks, and every article on this site are free. My channel recently passed 3.7 million subscribers, and none of it sits behind a paywall. If a book helps someone, I want that someone to have it.
Who this book is for
If you have survived something and you are still figuring out who you are on the other side, this book was written for you. If you love someone in that position and you want to understand what the road back can look like, it was written for you too.
Readers looking for a free self improvement book, a free inspirational book, or simply a true story that is honest about how hard rebuilding can be will find it here. The free editions are also available in Chinese, Hindi and Korean, and the free bedtime story book in the Little Elara series is available for young readers.
