Dianne James describes her remarkable "Life Reboot" in her book, The Real Brass Ring: Change Your Life Course Now (Red Wheel/Weiser/Turning Stone Press) and it is the perfect inspiration for anyone who feels stuck, unhappy and ready to reboot so they can move forward on the life path they originally set out to create.

 

Readers should prepare themselves for a roller-coaster of a story with emotional highs and lows, hilarious teaching moments, and the hard, real-life lessons that put Dianne back on track and in reach of the "real" brass ring. Insisting that she was worthy of an authentic romantic relationship, she initiates the breakup of her marriage. With three children in tow, she drives into midlife cougar dating, including a close call with a charming but dangerous, abusive alcoholic. She also launches an acting career and surprises herself with success in an extremely competitive arena. She loses 60 pounds, survives a terrifying financial recession that almost takes everything along with it, in addition to the death of a loved one.

​

"I'd approach every change as a free-fall, diving through the air and grabbing at brass rings along the way. I made more mistakes than I could even count, but I also absorbed the painful, yet innately valuable lessons... Now I had what I wanted all along, emotional peace, love, a uniquely sculpted family unit, an outlet for my creativity, and a new life in hand."

​

This book is an inspiration and passionately reveals how anyone can reinvent themselves and reclaim their authentic self. It demonstrates that it is possible to have what appears to be a "perfect" existence but not be alignment with your proper destiny or life plan. What makes this book stand apart, however, is the way Dianne incorporates many of the leaders in the field of metaphysics who share similar beliefs based on the Law of Attraction as well as a modern version of the Unified Field Theory that suggests evidence proving that we are all part of one cosmic source. In addition, Dianne's Rules for Happy Living become foundational tools for creating and sustaining a happy, fruitful life.
