Last week I stood on a stage in Hollywood and heard my name read as a finalist for 2026 Author of the Year in the Personal Development category at the International Impact Book Awards. I am still letting that sink in. Years ago I was writing the first pages of The REAL Matrix Reloaded in a notebook I kept in my car between security assignments, and I had no reason to believe anyone outside my own circle would ever read it.
To mark the moment, I am doing something I have wanted to do for a long time. The complete eBook editions of my books are now free in four languages. If you have been looking for a free self help book, a free personal development book, or a story about rebuilding a life after losing everything, the whole thing is yours for the price of a subscription to my YouTube channel.
What is free right now
The giveaway covers Elara: How Losing Herself Became the Road Back Home in English, Chinese and Hindi, along with the Korean edition of The REAL Matrix Reloaded. These are the complete books, exactly what a reader buys in the store editions. You subscribe to the YouTube channel, leave your email on the giveaway page of this site, and the full eBook arrives in your inbox a few minutes later. There is no cost and no catch. I only use your address to send the book and, once in a while, news about new work.
Requesting a book also connects you to everything else I publish free: articles on how to stop overthinking, how to fall asleep fast, and how old experiences shape the way we react years later, plus hours of calming sleep music on the channel. That channel recently passed 3.7 million subscribers and 84 million views, and none of it sits behind a paywall.
The night in Hollywood
The ceremony took place on October 10 at the International Impact Book Awards gala. Standing there with a copy of The REAL Matrix Reloaded in my hands, I thought about how unlikely the road to that stage had been. The book began as an attempt to explain the invisible prisons people build around themselves, the habits, fears and borrowed definitions of success that keep a person living a life they never chose.
Readers across Asia have since found the book through translated editions and narrated audiobooks, and that international reach is a large part of why the giveaway now runs in four languages. A story about getting free should not stop at one border, and neither should a free one.
Why I give the books away
Giving the books away feels like a continuation of work I started in 2005, when I founded USPA Nationwide Security. Over twenty years the company grew into a network of more than 5,000 security contractors handling government and private assignments on six continents, and the profits funded something very different: Kingsman Philanthropic Corp, an organization that locates missing girls, recovers trafficking victims and helps women escape dangerous situations. For 21 years, commercial security work has paid for investigations that families could never have afforded on their own.
That work shaped my writing more than anything else. Sitting across from women who survived trafficking taught me how fear, coercion and a diminished sense of worth keep steering a person's decisions long after the danger ends. Elara grew out of those conversations. If one reader recognizes herself in it and starts to believe she is allowed to walk through an open door, the giveaway has done its job.
What comes next
I am finishing a manuscript I have been working on for six years, The REAL Matrix: Architecture of Control, which I expect to publish around Christmas 2026. It examines psychological operations, information manipulation and the way powerful institutions can shape what large groups of people come to believe. Writing it has required me to go slower than any previous book, and I want it to be worth the wait.
How to get your copy
If you would like a copy, pick your language on the giveaway pages of this site, subscribe to my YouTube channel, and the complete eBook will arrive in your inbox within minutes. The English, Chinese, Hindi and Korean editions are all waiting.
And if the books are not for you, the articles and the sleep music are there anyway, free, the same as they have always been.
