Book Launch: Shawn Nowotnik's Habits of Successful People Motivates You to Redefine Your Narrative

CHICAGO - May 3, 2022 - PRLog -- Top-selling author and Chicago native, Shawn Nowotnik, will release his third book, Habits of Successful People, on May 13 and host his national book launch party locally and in person at the Arcada Theatre in St. Charles, IL. In his most personal work to date, Nowotnik's third book is a master class in habits and success. It skips the ra-ra and helps the reader take control of their life.

What makes this book unique? It's based on Mr. Nowotnik's own story of working during the week as a welder in a steel factory to flying out to Hollywood each weekend to pitch his entertainment agency. Along his journey, he asked Hollywood's most influential people for valued perspectives on their habits of success. In time, Nowotnik (utilizing these habits) became a Grammy member, marketed films for all seven of the big film studios, and became a celebrity liaison.

Those same celebrity insights later proved to be critical and what he'd rely on to help him recover from the devastating loss of his son to suicide. He explained, "I was forced to reevaluate my own narrative when I lost my son. My life radically changed from having incredible Hollywood moments to having it all shattered. It was their prized habits that helped me to find my true path – as a mental health therapist and author."

Habits of Successful People is packed with a 20-year collection of research and illuminating perspectives he gained from the biggest names in Hollywood, sports, and business. He shares how leveraging your internal capabilities, life experiences, and consistent habits are fundamental to having a successful and meaningful life. Nowotnik firmly believes, "Greatness and success are completely within everyone's reach."

He added, "When I walked away from everything in Los Angeles, there was a lot of uncertainty about my life. In becoming a mental health therapist, I realized it was ultimately my true calling. That's when I knew the perspectives these incredible people imparted on me could be a real game-changer in other's lives…and the reason why I wrote the book."

Then, he boiled it down to what's real. "Honestly, the fear of change is always worse than the reality of the task that lays before us. Growth requires patience, so it's not always easy to start. With patience, you can persevere. As basic as it sounds, when you choose to change your habits, there is no doubt you can change your life."

Habits of Successful People illustrates that there is nothing stopping you from succeeding: no matter who you are, where you come from, or how others may view you today. The only question is what are you waiting for?

To celebrate, Mr. Nowotnik is launching his national book tour locally and in person at the Arcada Theatre's Studio 64 in St. Charles, IL on May 13 from 6 – 10 pm.
