His new book The Real Rules of Life will be in book stores May 2012. Ken will be speaking on The Real Rule of Life: Balancing Life's Terms with Your Own.

Let's be real. Life isn't always fair. Good things don't always come to those who wait. The early bird often loses the worm, along with his house. And we all know that sometimes bad things happen to good people. No matter who we are, what we say, do or believe in, life has its own terms. And they're not what we thought. Life presents us all with challenges and setbacks. The life we thought we'd signed up for is not the one we get. Then what? How do we summon the raw courage and strength to go on?

Ken Druck takes a "bold truth" approach, sharing first-hand experience of the 26 most powerful rules that really do show up in life. Rules like There are no quick fixes, Joy is a muscle, and Ain't no fairy godmother will set you on a path of deeper awareness - to make the most of a life that will continue to grow and deepen as you emerge from struggles. Druck has a profound knowledge and belief that the highest and best expression of our true selves can and does emerge from adversity.

Ken Druck's personal journey through tragedy after the death of his daughter, Jenna, led him to discover the secrets of how we survive life's worst losses and uncover its dark gifts - hidden opportunities for spiritual deepening, renewal, discovery, meaning and even joy. We discover how to take off the blinders and be a part of the unseen miracles and opportunities that are right under our noses.

The Real Rules of Life will empower you to survive when life throws you a nasty curve. It shows you how to heal. How to grow your soul. How to thrive. How to be broken and whole at the same time by getting and staying real. Ken Druck inspires you to make peace with life as it really is. Once you know the real rules, you can balance life's terms with your own and live boldly.
