Dr. Mantell’s current book description: Who wouldn’t want a coach in the pocket, available anytime you’re in need? That’s not just what Dr. Mantell’s business card says about his hours, but that’s what this book is all about. 

As Mayor Mohammed Hameeduddin of Teaneck, NJ notes in his praise-filled forward to Dr. Mantell’s very timely book, “It’s filled with best-in-class, time-proven tactics curated over decades carefully crafted to show you how to sow your seeds of greatness, go to higher levels in life and turn every situation you face into one where you win or learn, but never lose. For anyone who wants to once and for all crush self-imposed obstacles that keep us from being our best, this is unmatched reading. Permeating each page of this book is Michael’s experienced eye helping the reader develop a more peaceful and kind approach to him/herself and others.”

This book teaches how to apply powerful and practical tools that’ll elevate you from the rut of your own negative thinking.  Want to live better, happy and healthy? Want to learn the art of unconditional self-acceptance? Want to banish self-critical thinking? Want to increase your mindfulness to build optimal health and success, and turn your inner stumbling blocks into stepping stones for life? All of this and more await you in each dose of “Mantell’s Daily 5.”
