Uncover the Why Behind Your Actions

Dr. D. Ivan Young is the author of Amazon best sellers Another Chance, Break up, Don’t Break Down, and the meditation, A Time to Chill. Born in Chicago and raised in Ft. Worth, TX, he reached new heights as America’s leading relationship expert while working in Houston as a life coach. His prominent practice primarily deals with corporate executives, media personalities, athletes and celebrities, but Young specializes in working with culturally diverse groups who have experienced racial profiling or work in a discriminatory environment. In his spare time, Young mentors sat-risk teens and African American youth who have grown up without strong male role models.

Books to Inspire Your Journey

Another Chance (Where would you be without one...!)

Some books inspire belief. Another Chance… Where Would You Be Without One! shows you how to live it. Picking up where titles like The Secret, The Purpose Driven Life, and Conversations with God leave off, Dr. D. Ivan Young delivers bold, practical answers to life’s biggest questions: Why am I here? Why do bad things happen to good people? How do I know if I’m on the right path?

With clarity and conviction, Dr. Young moves beyond surface motivation to teach readers how to transform destructive thought patterns, eliminate self-sabotage, and align with universal laws that govern purpose and destiny. Blending spiritual insight with actionable tools, he reveals how to pray with intention, recognize when prayers are being answered, distinguish fear from divine guidance, and unlock the hidden abilities already within you. This is more than inspiration—it’s a blueprint for reclaiming your power and embracing the fresh start your life was always meant to have.
