Speaking Engagements
“After the Fall is a majestic book that, with unflinching honesty and poetic grace, leads the reader on a journey through heartbreak, inner transformation, and the acceptance of a self-grounded place. It gently yet profoundly reminds us what it means to truly flourish in life.”
“In a world of noise, After the Fall is a rare act of stillness. The narrative is not only beautifully written, but emotionally sincere—delivering insight and vulnerability in equal measure. A remarkable exploration of love, loss, and the enduring journey back to self.”
“After the Fall is a reminder that true change—whether personal or societal—begins within. It’s a deeply moving exploration of compassion, redemption, and the quiet power of self-awareness. For anyone committed to healing the world, this book shows that the first step is learning to heal ourselves.”
“After the Fall reminds me of the work done at UW-Madison and MIT studying the brain wave activity of Buddhist monks, with the blessing and encouragement of the Dalai Lama. The monks showed unprecedented levels of gamma brain wave activity, which is associated with happiness and compassion. Some had the highest levels ever recorded. So simply put, the happiest people on earth are, scientifically, the monks who have no possessions.”
"In the fast-paced world of leadership and bottom lines, we often lose sight of what truly matters—purpose, presence, and personal integrity. “After the Fall” is a rare and profound reminder that success without self-awareness is hollow. This book offers a masterclass in conscious leadership, not through corporate jargon, but through deeply human storytelling. It’s a must-read for anyone navigating both ambition and authenticity."
"After the Fall weaves personal awakening with literary grace, touching readers across generations. Its wisdom stays with you. Thoughtful, reflective, and beautifully written, it deserves a permanent place on the shelves of anyone seeking meaning through story."
“This is a book for anyone who has achieved ‘success’ yet still feels something missing. Through Owen’s journey, After the Fall invites us to redefine growth—not as upward striving, but as inward arriving. A profound narrative for leaders seeking not just results, but real fulfillment.”
“As a physician, I’ve spent my life addressing the physical well-being of my patients, but the true healing often happens within. After the Fall beautifully explores the emotional and spiritual dimensions of healing, offering profound insights into the mind-body connection. Owen's journey is one of transformation, reminding us that true wellness is not merely the absence of disease, but the integration of mind, body, and soul. The book’s reflective ‘Inner Compass’ sections make it an invaluable tool for anyone seeking not just healing, but wholeness. A must-read for anyone striving for balance in an often fragmented world.”
"After the Fall is the intimate unraveling of a man who in the wreckage of his once-glittering life, chooses a different path—not to rise higher, but to go deeper. He begins to see: the real journey was never out there, but always inward. It reminds me of a quote by 14th century mystic Kashmiri poetess Lalleshwari: ‘My guru gave me but one percept withdraw from the outside and search within"
"After the Fall elegantly bridges literature, psychology, and philosophy, offering a nuanced exploration of the human psyche. It’s a unique work that speaks both to the mind and the intellect—drawing on Jung, Eastern thought, and contemporary realism with remarkable clarity. I can see this book as a good resource to achieving one's self realization”
