Overcoming Your Funk

Practical Advice and Strategies for Reigniting Your Spirit and Taking Charge of Your Life

"One of the things I most appreciate about this book is that Barry shares his personal story of being in a funk, and coming out of that funk; he reveals a vulnerable side of himself to his readers. Because he’s “been there,” Barry can really relate to those of us who are down in the dumps, or have been in the past. The helpful tips Barry offers his readers feel very doable and I’m inspired to get to work implementing them right away.”

Not that long ago, I was in a severe funk. It went on for nearly 2 years. I hunkered down and withdrew from the world. I hated getting out of bed in the morning. I had lost my passion. I had very little joy in my life. I had essentially lost my sense of self.

Flash forward to today: My connection with the world and with life is stronger, sharper and deeper today than it’s ever been. I now have a word I live by: quality. The quantity of my life may be behind me, but the quality of my life is in front of me.

If you’re in a funk, you’ve got some work to do to get out of it. I’d love to be your guide. Get in touch with me, and let’s figure out together how you can get out of the black hole.

A Practical Guide for Getting Unstuck

“I happened to be in a bit of a funk during the time I was reading this book. I love that Overcoming Your Funk is a quick read, and at the same time, a practical guide for getting un-stuck. I have been implementing the simple advice, tips and strategies Barry outlines in his book and have already recommended the book to several friends who are struggling with finding joy in their lives. With economic and personal stresses at a fever pitch for many, and the strain these put on living a life of purpose and passion, this book couldn’t be timelier.”
