Learn from the family that made America smile the winners of the Houston Extreme Home Makeover Eric and Elaine Johnson
Investment: $20
Saturday I know many may think that Oprah® created the concept of living your best life because she says it so much, but in reality it is a concept that is shared by many people the world over, including one amazing couple, Eric and Elaine Johnson of Houston, Texas. In 2004, Eric and Elaine, Certified Christian Counselors, decided to put their belief into action by founding Optimum Lifestyle Community Development Corporation (Optimum Lifestyle CDC) whose goal is to strengthen marriages and families by providing marriage enrichment, financial management, AIDS and domestic violence training, abstinence education and life-skills and development.
To further spread their message of living your best life Eric and Elaine have written an amazing book that chronicles their story and enlightens others on how to start on the path to achieving this amazing goal. The book, Manage Your Marriage, Master Your Workplace is all about how mastering relationship skills at home can help you master your career.
Here’s what people are saying…
“Manage Your Marriage, Master The Workplace is a dynamic manual for any one that is in any relationship. This common sense book challenges the readers to examine their relationships in order to make them more productive. As a psychotherapist, I believe that this is a book that I can recommend to my clients as well as to my friends.”
Bronwyn Lucas MED, MA, LPC-S ABLE Counseling & Consulting
“As a veteran of a fantabulous 26 year marriage, I find the book to be right on point. At this stage of the marriage it is easy to think that you know it all. However, as we read the book together, we found so many principles that we were able to apply to our relationship to help make it even better. Eric and Elaine have crafted a tool that will help even the veterans to improve and strengthen even solid relationships.”
