Daniel A. Miller is a lecturer/speaker on control issues, and the author of Losing Control, Finding Serenity: How the Need to Control Hurts Us and How to Let It Go. losingcontrolfindingserenity.com "The writing of Losing Control, Finding Serenity has been nearly a 25-year journey. Following a rapid fire series of traumatic events that shook me to the core, including an arsonist setting a fire below my son’s bedroom, a business betrayal, near bankruptcy, a natural disaster, and major surgeries to eradicate skin cancers, I purchased my first computer and began writing in a free-flow manner in an effort to make some sense of what I had gone through. I wrote about my gripping fear, unmitigated anger and resentment, powerful compulsion to control, and obsessive worrying. I kept writing as I faced new challenges and gained additional insights as to what brought me more peace and serenity, and less stress and conflict. My writings became my personal 'self-help' guide. "Increasingly, it became apparent to me that there existed an inverse correlation between the compulsion to control and inner peace and security. I found that when I was able to let go of control, life’s 'natural currents' were freed, and when I engaged those currents intuitively and un-forcefully, unexpected and exciting rewards were bestowed upon me in all areas of my life. Conflicts diminished. Family bonds strengthened. Intimate relations became more intimate. My creative horizons expanded. And work became more rewarding and profitable. "My writings eventually evolved into my book about control. It is my hope and desire that the 'decontrol' tools and strategies that I propose will enable others to gain the freedom and contentment that comes when you lose control."
