Dr. Lycka is the co-author of multiple international bestsellers, including The Secrets to Living a Fantastic Life and Pillars of Success. His latest work, Rule the Game, is a blueprint for professionals ready to dominate their industries, leave a legacy, and rule their game.

Dr Lycka originally wrote “Rule The Game" for the International Order of Fantastic Professionals (IOFP), an organization dedicated to helping professionals retain their elite status within their chosen area of expertise. He presented his paper on the subject in 2019 at Harvard. During the pandemic closures, many IOFP members’ asked him to make it more specific to individuals who aspire to becoming experts. The evidence suggests that many — perhaps most — experts are unsure of the path they can follow to career success. That’s the path he lays out for readers in the book.

As extreme elements temper steel, he wrote "The Secrets to Living a Fantastic Life" to share the key lessons he’s learned to help readers find "the golden pearls" in the most significant challenges to make their lives fantastic, too.

Dr Lycka works closely with the IOFP to bring professionals together from a wide spectrum of industries. Members communicate and collaborate 24/7 with each other to gain greater recognition, access online support, and meet top-tier professionals.

Why are so many women frustrated with today’s men? 

How a man can regain a woman’s love and respect

Why is the woman in your life unhappy? Why no matter how hard you try to please her – she’s not happy?

“Most men want to be good partners and think if they do whatever the woman wants, she will be happy," says Elliott Katz, coach and author of Being the Strong Man A Woman Wants: Timeless wisdom for men on how to improve your relationship which has been translated into 24 languages around the world.

Katz says his goal is to change the men of the world to improve relationships, have fewer break-ups and fewer children from broken homes.

“After I got divorced I asked myself: “What do I have to learn from this? I set out on a journey to learn what it means to be a man and discovered wisdom that I wish I had known. I wrote the book to share this wisdom.”

• Show your share of leadership. One of the biggest complaints women have about men today is that they don’t take charge. Instead, they wait for the woman to tell them what to do. When a man sees a situation that needs to be dealt with that is not being dealt with, he should step forward and deal with it. 
• Make decisions. To many women, a man who avoids making decisions is shirking his responsibilities. 
• Take responsibility. Don’t blame your wife for something that goes wrong. Step forward and deal with it. 

“If someone would have shared this information with me years ago, it would have saved me from making wrong choices in a mate, divorce and years of raising children on my own with no positive male role model for them,” a reader wrote.

Another reader commented, “If my husband of 38 years had understood these basic but crucial truths, my marriage would not have disintegrated. It is refreshing to see that there is a man out there who actually 'gets it' and doesn't have any qualms about telling it like it is.” 

A man wrote, “I made some fatal mistakes about being the kind of man I thought a woman wanted. I lost a marriage and only now, after reading this book, see how and why that happened. If I had known this while I was married, I probably wouldn’t be divorced.”

Being the Strong Man A Woman Wants: Timeless wisdom for men on how to improve your relationship is available as a paperback, ebook and audio book.   

Elliott Katz is a speaker and author of Being the Strong Man A Woman Wants: Timeless wisdom for men on how to improve your relationship which is striking a chord around the world. It has been translated into 24 languages by publishers in Europe, Asia, Latin America and Africa. He has done many media interviews. After the end of a relationship, he set out to learn what it means to be a man in a relationship. He found powerful wisdom in the timeless lessons that fathers and other older male role models used to teach younger men. Contact: [email protected] www.ElliottKatz.com Twitter @Elliott_Katz

Have you ever felt like you had to be smaller, quieter, or more “together” just to belong? 

Have you spent years tending to everyone else, only to realize that somewhere along the way… you forgot parts of yourself? 

This book is your remembering. 

Through poetic reflections, bold inner truths, and grounded soul prompts, The Remembered Woman gently guides you back to who you’ve always been—beneath the roles, the noise, and the expectations. 

You’ll be invited to remember: 

Kalee Boisvert has spent over fifteen years in the financial industry, driven by a desire to rewrite the money story she grew up with. Raised in a single-parent household, she became passionate early on about financial empowerment and helping others create freedom and confidence through money. But her path didn’t stop there. 

Over time, Kalee’s work expanded into something deeper: a soul-level invitation for women to remember who they are. Today, she writes both financial and spiritual books—offering practical tools, tender truth, and gentle reminders that you are already enough. 

 You’ve done the budgeting. You’ve tried to be grateful. You’ve worked hard, given your all, and still felt like something was missing. This isn’t another money manual. It’s an honest look at how you relate to money, and how you can start feeling good in that relationship. Written for the woman who is tired of tying her worth to her wallet, Soul Rich blends emotional wisdom with financial clarity. Inside, you’ll meet the version of you who feared money, avoided it, chased it, or used it as proof. And the version of you who is finally ready to feel peace instead of pressure. 

Through real-talk reflections, grounded money truths, and gentle Soul Bank Practices, this book invites you to 

• Reclaim your worth independent of your bank account • Release guilt, shame, and the pressure to have it all figured out • Let money support the life you actually want • Learn to receive, rest, and feel safe with enough This isn’t about getting rich fast. It’s about building a relationship with money that actually feels good. If you’ve ever felt like you had to do it all alone. If you’ve ever wondered when it’s your turn. If you’re ready to feel at home in both your life and your finances. This is your invitation. 

And you are allowed to be soul rich. https://bit.ly/soulrichkaleeboisvert

A Documentary Honored in the category of Health Awareness At the Anthem/Webby Awards

TRAILER/SIZZLE REEL: https://vimeo.com/1097399645/4baf4cc693

Award winning filmmaker, Susie Singer-Carter and spokesperson for NO COUNTRY FOR OLD PEOPLE, a nursing home exposé, proudly announced today that the documentary has won an Anthem Award in the category of Health Awareness - Film, Video, Television or Show in The 4th Annual Anthem Awards.

No Country for Old People: A filmmaker chronicles the last 6 months of her mother’s life in a 5-star nursing home and discovers the system designed to protect our most vulnerable has been flouted by venture capitalists and real estate investment trusts. For decades greed has caused millions of people insufferable consequences and even death, yet most of the public has no idea until it’s too late. No Country for Old People is a cautionary tale and a public rally for change.

"Stories have the power to reach where statutes and regulations fall short," said Mountcastle (Co-Producer and former United States Attorney). "This series exposes what the public hasn’t seen—and what some institutions would rather keep hidden. We hope it inspires outrage, awareness, and ultimately, reform." Country for Old People - A Nursing Home Exposé will be available for streaming on Amazon beginning August 1, 2025.

No Country for Old People will air on Amazon on August 1st, followed by Hoopla, Spectrum, Charter, Cox, Xfinity, Tubi, VA Media, Prime AVOD, Gan Jing World, and Vyre Network (Dates and times TBA)
