In Beat the Wealth Management Hustle, Andy points the way for you to determine who is working to make money for themselves, and who is working to make money for you. Having worked with Andy in the institutional investment industry for over thirty years, it is clear to me that he places his clients’ interests ahead of his own. Sadly, this is rather rare.

Unlicensed Medicine: Releasing Ancestral Trauma and Unleashing the Power of your Lineage by Dr. Meher Chahal

Drmeherchahal.com

https://www.amazon.com/Unlicensed-Medicine-Releasing-Ancestral-Unleashing/dp/1967587345

What if the emotional trauma you’re carrying isn’t even yours?

Dr. Meher Chahal thought she had escaped her childhood trauma and shadows by becoming a psychiatrist. Initially, she was passionate about joining psychiatry as a result of her mother’s schizophrenia and the impact of the illness on her family system. But everything unraveled when she discovered her maternal ancestor was found guilty of the murder of her husband in a trial that made Indian Supreme Court history. Her carefully built career, her denial of past trauma, even her sense of self—suddenly, none of it felt real.

In Unlicensed Medicine, Dr. Chahal takes you on a raw, unflinching journey from psychiatric residency to ancestral healing, revealing how generational trauma lives in our bodies and shapes our lives in ways we never imagined. This ancestral trauma essentially becomes a soul-level karmic debt that a child carries out of love and loyalty to the family system of origin.

This isn’t your typical self-help book filled with gentle affirmations.

This is shadow work for the brave—a guide to facing the parts of yourself you’ve been avoiding and alchemizing your deepest wounds into power. Through the lens of Family Constellations and somatic healing, Chahal shows us that breaking generational cycles requires more than positive thinking, conventional medications, and talk therapy. It demands radical honesty, nervous system rewiring, and the courage to feel everything you’ve been running from.

If you’ve ever wondered:

Why you keep repeating the same painful and self-sabotage patterns
Why meditation alone isn’t enough
Why your “perfect” life still feels empty
What’s really beneath your anxiety, depression, or unexplained rage
This book is your wake-up call.

This is root cause healing at the deepest layer of all trauma. Something which most self-help books miss. Drawing from both Western psychiatry and spiritual healing on a soul level. Dr. Chahal offers a revolutionary approach to understanding trauma—not just as personal wounds, but as inherited burdens passed down through generations. With unflinching vulnerability, she shares her own journey of pain, discovery, and continuous healing—because this work is never truly “done,” and that’s exactly the point.

Unlicensed Medicine is for seekers who are done with surface-level healing. For those brave enough to look into the shadow cage and reclaim what’s been hidden there. For anyone ready to honor their ancestors while returning their unprocessed pain.

You are the cycle breaker your lineage has been waiting for.

Warning: Side effects include sudden self-awareness, expanding your consciousness, audacious authenticity, and the uncomfortable realisation that most healing modalities don’t even come close to the root.

The Good News? This powerful healing therapy may just heal your relationship with money, power, sex, and love! Since these are all deeply intertwined in the systemic constellation quantum field. After all, what’s the point of healing if it’s not practically useful?

Because the experience of the material world is the most spiritual experience for a soul on this planet.

About the author
Indian-American doctor, model, psychological astrologer, angel investor and visionary entrepreneur trained in Family Constellation therapy

Born into a lineage marked by her mother’s schizophrenia and a murder in her maternal line, she experienced firsthand the weight of trauma that Western medicine alone could not explain.

After 11 years in medicine and psychiatry, she left the conventional path to follow a deeper calling. Her discovery and training in Family Constellations revealed a system she calls the most powerful healing modality on the planet — one that unites the science of epigenetics with the wisdom of the soul.

Stealing Forbidden Dreams by Edward L Alban

https://www.amazon.com/Stealing-Forbidden-Dreams-Edward-Alban/dp/1962931005

Maria Diaz, originally from Ecuador, teaches math in a Miami high school. She is intellectual, loves poetry and likes music-from classical to Andean, to tangos-and suffers from insomnia. Sleep intrigues her. She does the math and figures that over a sixty-year span we sleep the staggering sum of twenty years. Where does all that time go? Is it a waste? Or does it have a hidden redeeming value? Finding answers to these questions becomes her quest.

She reads extensively about the brain’s activity during sleep, she keeps a log of the few brief dreams that she remembers and manages to intertwine her conscious hours with her subconscious hours into a helix-like braid of her life, which she presents in the form of a novel. Her sleeping mind opens its doors and reveals her sleeping world. She meets her inner self: her id, libido, ego, alter egos, muses, and oracles. They all come alive as colorful human characters, vying for control of her life and her destiny.

Maria’s Libido is a sexy look-alike who thinks it’s high time for Maria to lose her virginity. Her sassy Literary Muse advocates career change from teaching and mathematics. Her oracles are alter egos personified as older gentlemen who guide her in matters of philosophy.

Every night, Maria is at the center of this seemingly schizophrenic reality filled with laughter, tears, adulation, and scorn. It is a wonderful world that she comes to love, but, as with all humans, Maria can’t remember her dream world when she is awake. Day after day, Maria’s parallel world is wiped away upon awakening. The only exceptions are wisps of dreams and little snippets that are still fresh when she awakens. But the bulk of her sleeping hours is off limits. This is where her treasures, her “forbidden dreams” are held by oblivion. And she intends to get them, if she has to steal them.

It took her ten years to do it. The result is this work. Maria comes of age in many ways, she matures philosophically, she becomes sure of her convictions, and she lives her life by her own precepts. She shares with us how the mind at night interphases with the conscious world. We do relive our daytime life by night, and our night hours in turn do influence the decisions we make in the real world. But it happens so subtly, it is almost imperceptible. This is what we learn from her experiences.

All Shook Up: A Novel by Enid Langbert

https://www.amazon.com/All-Shook-Up-Enid-Langbert/dp/1684632641

Enidlangbert.com

This YA debut speaks to the continued interest in the teen culture of the 1950s—Elvis Presley, teenage rebellion—with a young girl embarking on adventure and music, ultimately uncovering family secrets.

Being fourteen is especially hard in 1956, when the world is changing around you. Honor student Paula Levy was born into a family of historical victims: her mother’s youth was lost in the Depression and her father’s was destroyed in the Holocaust, an as-yet-unnamed event about which no one speaks. But Paula has heard the new music taking hold of the nation—rock and roll—and it has given her hope. And she has two friends to get her through life’s ups and downs: Holden Caulfield, hero of Catcher in the Rye, who shares her view of the world, and Barbara, a “cool” girl in her high school who unexpectedly shares Paula’s view of Holden.

Paula’s mother is not a fan of Barbara, and she prohibits her daughter from associating with her. Paula manages to get around her mother’s rule and see Barbara anyway—but when Paula asks the wrong questions about her father’s past and Barbara is caught with her “boyfriend,” their private world of Holden, rock, and Elvis Presley crumbles. Angry with the adults in their lives, the two girls run away to find Barbara’s real father, a jazz musician. Disappointingly, he does not live in a mansion or socialize with Elvis—but Paula and Barbara may find something even better.

About the author
Enid Wolfe Langbert was not as adventurous as her protagonist, Paula, in high school, but she made up for it in the sixties by marching, sitting in, and raging against segregation and the war while, in her spare time, raising three children. Eventually, she went to law school. She loved zealously advocating for her clients as an attorney, whether they deserved it or not, until her husband became ill and she closed her practice to care for him. After he passed, she traveled widely and enrolled in an English literature master’s program. She is now writing her thesis, tracing the influence of James Joyce’s legal issues on his writing of Finnegans Wake—a topic about which she is unambiguously passionate. Enid lives in New York City.
