Sue Wong and Justin Robinson are the authors of the program and book, called My Manifesto. Here is a little about the book:
Embark on an extraordinary journey of self-discovery. Create your personal manifesto, and live a life filled with authentic purpose and complete clarity. You owe it to you.
To know, to care, and to believe in yourself are three of the greatest gifts you can receive. Arriving at your personal manifesto – a private declaration of your wisdom and intentions – you will provide yourself with these gifts.
