Praise for Mastin Kipp’s CLAIM YOUR POWER “I’ve watched Mastin transform from rock bottom to someone who turned his life around and is making a massive impact on the world.” — Tony Robbins, New York Times best-selling author, entrepreneur, and philanthropist “Distraction, stress, burnout, and feeling unfulfilled are all symptoms of a deeper problem: not knowing your life’s purpose. In Claim Your Power, Mastin Kipp offers an innovative and practical approach to connect with your purpose, which is the key to truly thriving.” — Arianna Huffington, founder of The Huffington Post and Founder/CEO of Thrive Global “Mastin has given readers a high-energy healing guide—rich in inspiration, instruction, and superb information. Well done.” — Caroline Myss, New York Times best-selling author of Anatomy of the Spirit and Defy Gravity “In an age of shallowness and distraction, Mastin offers an effective and powerful solution: a deep life dedicated to the thing that matters most—your purpose.” — Cal Newport, Ph.D., author of Deep Work “Trauma and addiction rob us of our ability to be free and to serve the higher calling, which is our life’s purpose. With Claim Your Power, Mastin has truly laid the groundwork for a person to walk from the darkness of addiction into the light of freedom. If you read this book, buckle up. Your positive evolution is coming!” — Tommy Rosen, founder of Recovery 2.0 and pioneer in the fields of yoga and recovery from addiction “So often we look to diets, supplements, pills, external diversions, and even addictions to relieve our symptoms and suffering. But the pain we feel is that of the body holding past trauma, which none of those will heal. In this book, Mastin Kipp brings us to a possibility of healing—the inspiration we crave and the steps we need to wake up from the trance that is keeping us stuck in the belief that that we are our wounds. If you’re tired of living a less-than-satisfying life and are ready to live courageously, this is your next step.” — Aviva Romm, M.D., Yale Integrative Medicine, author of the #1 best-selling book, The Adrenal Thyroid Revolution “Mastin Kipp doesn’t just suggest the possibility that we could live a better life; his very presence seems to demand that we do so! Claim Your Power invites us to meet an infinitely creative universe with an infinite willingness to receive its gifts.” — Marianne Williamson, six-time New York Times best-selling author and internationally acclaimed spiritual lecturer “For a long time I’ve been a big believer in Mastin Kipp, and if you read Claim Your Power, you will be too.” — Mike Dooley, New York Times best-selling author of From Deep Space with Love “Mastin wrote a timeless legacy harmonizing safety, inspiration, and direction, allowing me to slice through fear and ego. I was able to explore, understand, and release my multiple traumas of sexual abuse, physical abuse, and PTSD in order to claim my power. Forever grateful!” — George Bryant, former United States Marine and New York Times best- selling co-author of The Paleo Kitchen “With Claim Your Power, Mastin Kipp has done for personal growth and healing what The Virgin Diet did for nutrition —created an innovative, researched, and time-tested system that creates lasting results, fast.” — JJ Virgin, four-time New York Times best-selling author of The Virgin Diet “I first met Mastin Kipp at 5 A.M. in the gym. He was tirelessly pounding away on the treadmill while writing a book and working on e-mails. I knew right away that this guy not only had an amazing work ethic, but was also extremely passionate about something. Later, I discovered his deep and unique wealth of knowledge on little-known tactics for removing the hidden obstacles that keep us stuck in life, and finding our life’s true purpose. I find this guy completely fascinating, and I think you will too. Enjoy his work. It will change your life.” — Ben Greenfield, Ironman triathlete and New York Times best-selling author of Beyond Training “Liberation of spirit is the greatest gift anyone could give another. Mastin Kipp has developed a process to rid the root cause of human suffering that holds us back from living the best version of ourselves. It’s brilliant.” — Dr. Jeff Spencer, Olympian and creator of the Champion’s Blueprint ALSO BY MASTIN KIPP Daily Love: Growing into Grace The above is available at your local bookstore, or may be ordered by visiting: Hay House USA: www.hayhouse.com® Hay House Australia: www.hayhouse.com.au Hay House UK: www.hayhouse.co.uk Hay House South Africa: www.hayhouse.co.za Hay House India: www.hayhouse.co.in Copyright © 2017 by Daily Love Media, Inc.
