How much does the Thomas Cromwell of popular novels and television series resemble the real Cromwell? This meticulous study of Cromwell’s early political career expands and revises what has been understood concerning the life and talents of Henry VIII’s chief minister. Michael Everett provides a new and enlightening account of Cromwell’s rise to power, his influence on the king, his role in the Reformation, and his impact on the future of the nation. Controversially, Everett depicts Cromwell not as the fervent evangelical, Machiavellian politician, or the revolutionary administrator that earlier historians have perceived. Instead he reveals Cromwell as a highly capable and efficient servant of the Crown, rising to power not by masterminding Henry VIII’s split with Rome but rather by dint of exceptional skills as an administrator.

Certain Laws are irrefutable. Take Gravity for example. If you jump off a building 100 times you will fall down EVERY time. You will never fall up! Well, certain economics laws are unbreakable as well. And the focus of this ground-breaking new work by economic and motivational expert, Michael Everett is that times of recession, just like times of expansion, must reverse course and end. That said, the question becomes "What is your plan for it?" Are you going to wait until the TV tells you that it's OK to come out and play again, or are you working on a plan NOW? The simple truth is that different sectors of the economy will emerge at different times. Further, certain individuals within those sectors will break out faster and further than others. Will you be one of them? When will your recession end? The answer to that question is that your particular experience of recession will end when you take the simple step of deciding it will! Most people are waiting around for conditions to improve before they dig back in. That creates an environment where it is easy to move around, getting what you need done with little or no competition. Michael will share techniques for getting your head back in the game, recognizing economic patterns and how to avoid getting caught up in a "herd mentality" for the rest of your life!
