Charity CEO releases book on how to recapture lost dreams

Today Brook Turner, CEO of youth charity Zeal, releases his book Plan A: Why You Lost Your Dream And How To Get It Back.

Plan A is a series of daily digestible lessons designed to both inspire and give direction to the reader who feels stuck in a “Plan B” way of life.

The concept for the book grew during the global financial crisis as Brook encountered many New Zealanders who had laid aside their dreams in preference for safety.

“Many New Zealanders, young and old, have fallen into the trap of exchanging an adventurous and risk-taking life for one reduced to comfort and security,” says Brook.

“Plan A is a road map for people looking to wrestle free from their ‘Plan B’ and recapture the imagination of their childhood.”

As CEO of Zeal, Brook is no stranger to helping New Zealanders thrive. Under his guidance, Zeal has grown by 20 per cent annually, built three state-of-the-art youth facilities in Auckland, Wellington and Hamilton (with more on the way) and opened two social enterprise cafes.

Zeal is a perfect example of what a Plan A approach looks like. Despite economic downturns and funding scarcity it has grown every year in order to positively influence the lives of thousands of young New Zealanders. The organisation now engages 50,000 annually, and reaches a further 500,000 online.

Beautifully illustrated by Wellington artist Kieran Rynhart, Plan A is written for those who find themselves directionless, disillusioned in work and life, or just passionate about reaching their goals. It offers practical and clear directions for recapturing vocational dreams.

The 250-page book is available for purchase online at www.getyourdreamback.com. During December, Brook is holding a speaking and book release tour to several main centres. He is also available for interviews throughout the tour period.
