Ten Recommandments for Personal Empowerment

Book One in the Ten Recs Trilogy by Dana Sardano

DESCRIPTION

Ten Recommandments for Personal Empowerment (Second Edition) is a loose autobiography based on Dana’s dysfunctional up-bringing and how she empowered herself and came out the other side. Showcasing this how-to meets autobiographical approach to her writing style, Dana uses anecdotes from her personal experiences, shares what she's gleaned from these experiences, and offers insights on how to work through personal trauma in a step-by-step manner.

“Dana’s…raw and painfully honest relatability provides a clear and methodical explanation of what makes each and every one of us tick and provides us with the tools we need to shed the ties that bind.”
~Ann Marie Skordy

“This book screams volumes for every walk of life. To the teenager that wants to feel empowered and learn early on, to the single parent who has dealt with life's bumpy journey, to the successful artist who just needs some clarification on life. It made me cry, to feel vulnerable, as if the book was meant exactly for me. Dana's book is a must read.”

~Miss Marie
“A book for anyone searching to understand why they are the way they are and how to heal and move forward in a healthy and empowering way. Dana's personal stories are beyond relatable, and she writes in a way that you feel you are having a 1:1 conversation with her.

Thank you Dana Sardano!”

Thank you Dana Sardano for sharing your story, the steps that you have chosen to better yourself, and for offering your gained knowledge and wisdom to assist others with their own personal journeys of healing and personal growth. Connecting with your stories and applying your “how-to” approach to self-awareness has been the catalyst to my own healing journey. I am forever changed.”

~ Laurie B.
“Read this book! It takes you on a journey to being your best self. The guidance, insights and wisdom shared in Ten Recs are second to none. I found myself highlighting text at every turn.. Thank you Dana for writing this book. You are brilliant.”

~Lisa
“Firstly, I adore Dana’s writing style, and I found her life story fascinating! So impressive how she can connect all those dots, patterns, life lessons, limiting beliefs for herself and then articulate so well for others to understand. Having insight of her story really makes the concepts feel relevant and relatable. I couldn't put it down! I read it in two sittings.”

~Cristen G.
“I absolutely loved the book. I couldn’t put it down. This is the kind of book that you want to go back and re-read and do some journaling. This book definitely spoke to me and made me rethink and reevaluate my life. It motivated me to pursue what I want out of my life and to let go of those past relationships that broke my heart to pieces. Thank you for writing this book.”

~Sulay N.
“This book is a DEFINITE read for those who are on a honest path of self-discovery and self-empowerment. Dana's raw and grounded story telling provokes deep contemplation of the unhealed experiences we've all had. Ten Recommandments goes even further, layer by layer, to help us grow from this new space of self-awareness into self-empowerment. Thank you for this Life-Changing book, Dana!”

~Wendy Bee
“I received this book in a time of complete angst with the thoughts of ‘there has to be more than this.’ Since I've read and applied this knowledge, I have been equipped to face challenges with new techniques and perspectives. Allow this book to help you recognize what’s holding you back from your best way of being, and approach your fears in ways that promote growth and empowerment.”

~Mattie D.
“The insights that I have uncovered from not only reading this book but following the expertly laid out guidance and suggestions is beyond compare to any 'self-help' book that I've ever read. Ten Recs taught me how to be the best advocate for my personal empowerment and wellbeing and also that the answers lie within each of us. I don't need to seek external rituals and practices and therapies to achieve contentment! This is a total game-changer, but it’s definitely not for wimps!”

~Angela DiMarco
“Dana Sardano’s 'Ten Recommandments for Personal Empowerment' is a must read for anyone looking to move forward with their life in a healthy and whole way. Her recommendments allow the reader to look at their past experiences with fresh eyes so they are better able to discern the necessary lessons while leaving the emotional attachment behind…where it belongs. Even if you believe you have already “done the work” and put most of your “traumas” to rest, there is something here to be gleaned. As Dana points out, and as many of us have experienced, there is almost always another layer of the onion to be unraveled. Ten Recommandments assist the reader in healing those inner-most layers once and for all.”

~Michelle G.

Here’s why the Ten Recs trilogy is so very important for humanity:

Book One, Ten Recommandments for Personal Empowerment, delineates the ten tenets of how to become more empowered in your life. It is the perfect book for those of you ready to effect change in your lives.

Book Two, Beyond the Ten, Decoding the Woo Woo, discusses the magic that happens after the necessary changes have been made, while also demystifying the heady and esoteric ways of the woo. It is a great resource for those of you who have found yourselves on a spiritual journey and just want to better understand it all.

Book Three, You’ve Cracked the Code. The Woo Is You!, takes you on a deep dive into the self so you can bring yourself back into balance and create the life that you desire. This book is perfect for those of you who are no longer f-ing around!

“You want to change the world? Stop fighting against what you don’t want and just start being what you do want, and the world will change around you.That’s how you make an impact!”

~ Dana Sardano

ARTIST, AUTHOR, PHENOM—In January 2015, Dana picked up a paintbrush for the first time since her childhood which was the catalyst for a major shift in her career, and in June 2017, she decided to retire from her career in education in order to fully embrace an artist's life and to model for her daughters the importance of listening to your soul's purpose by following your bliss. She has since opened Ubuntu Fish Gallery in Stuart, Florida, co-founded Phenom Publishing, and has authored several books for both adults and children, never for a second regretting her decision to take that leap of faith.
