Adult; Self-Help, Sex & Relationships, Psychology, Philosophy, Fashion; (Market)

One Door Closes presents the inspiring stories of 16 people (including Mary Wilson of The Supremes) who have overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles to live into their dreams. Though their powerful stories, these dreamers share a road map guiding the reader to discover how to live life with vision, courage, determination and passion. Incorporating holistic self-assessment tools and self-motivational techniques, One Door Closes helps you to develop the skills to take 100% responsibility for your life, as you clarify and set your goals--and then use the power you already have within to achieve those goals. One Door Closes has been adapted as the documentary film, One Door Closes: Korey's Courage, which had its premiere in October, 2023. The movie now is an Official Selection of the prestigious Documentaries Without Borders International Film Festival.
