This book has a more profound, deeper message relating to principals of self character and integrity. The premise of the exercises are to help an individual keep not only financial commitments but personal committments as well. Being "brutely honest" while simultaneously allowing oneself to be open minded to rapid change and new methods, especially in relationship building, opportunity and abundance are unlimited. Thanks Mark.

There are certain things in life we all know but never really say them out loud. Flashpoint emphasizes there should be synergy of family, social and work life. All three are critically important and we must not ignore any of them or they ALL suffer. Flashpoint can help you find the proper balance for your life in order for to achieve emotional and financial abundance.

Until I read the book I did not understand the word Abundant. Now its clear to me that an abundant life is being involved equally with all aspects of my life. I am no longer a workaholic, although I love my job and do work many hours,but I am also deeply interested and much more active with my children, my home, my wife and relatives. I had been narrowly focused on professional life as exclusive to success, but with the help of the Matsons and FlashPoint I have discovered my own personal FlashPoint and that is success comes from many areas of life. I intend to enjoy it all.

I first saw Gray Morrow's art in Creepy magazine in '66. He was one of their top artists, along with Frank Frazetta, Jack Davis, Al Williamson, Reed Crandall, and Angelo Torres. Some of Morrow's drawings and paintings from that era are reprinted here as well as much other work I had not seen. He was a better (and more versatile) artist than I realized, since his paintings for Creepy were not quite as powerful as Frazetta's at the time, but his career evidently took many turns, and he did a wide variety of work for comic, movies and advertising, eventually developing a polished, assured flair for snazzy, hip, dynamic renditions of pulp themes: spies, detectives, spacemen, cowboys, glamor girls, horror, fantasy and adventure. Large, vibrant color reproductions, interesting biographical info on the man and his contemporaries in '60s New York, make this book desirable for nostalgic baby boomers as well as aspiring commercial artists who want to gaze at great technique. Wish it had more pages, but at least they only show the good stuff.
