Bestselling and award-winning author Dom Testa blends personal stories with insights from his award-winning morning radio show on Denver’s Kool 105 to explore the keys to lasting satisfaction. With nearly 30 books published in multiple genres and under multiple pen names, he knows publishing … and how to write.
Dom was a 2019 inductee into the Colorado Author Hall of Fame. His latest book is Let It Be Good: Simple Insights for a Satisfied Life. Find most of his work at DomTestaBooks.com.
You take aways include:
-In a world obsessed with more, most overlook what’s already enough.
-The trap of perfectionism.
-Recognizing the right path.
-Appreciating what’s in front of you.
-The power of anticipation.
-What to do when you are on the wrong path.
-How to deal with critics, including yourself.
-What social media gets wrong.
His wise words: most complicate happiness when, all along, the answer is simple: Let it be good.
And, of course, much more.
The reluctance to accept “good” fuels stress and dissatisfaction. With humor and sharp insight, Dom shows how shifting your mindset can bring clarity, contentment, and a life that finally feels right.
