Synopsis

You have the ability to change the world one step at a time if you work on transforming yourself from the inside out.

Through the unique story about Nicolai Engelbrecht´s life, filled with tales of his challenges and insights into his criminal life, his transformational rock-bottom and stepping into his true role as a spiritual teacher, he will assist you in your own transformation. This book is a compilation of the hardest and untold moments of the author’s life and a clear step by step guide offering you the tools necessary to break any negative pattern you may have and to deal with your toughest challenges. You will get a unique opportunity to access his knowledge and wisdom along with specific breathwork, meditation and mindfulness exercises through his reflective biography.

One of the main obstacles that can be observed in our world today is that people are so caught up in the stories of their minds that they allow them to shape their future. This book delivers a step by step solution guide to that very obstacle. With astonishing and unbelievable, yet true, stories this book will not only share unique life experiences but also tested exercises of how to overcome the mind.

Nicolai has written this book based on more than a decade of dedicated experience in Yoga, Qigong, and Mindfulness. He is surely one of the few people who have seen, experienced, tasted and felt so many facets of this world. The readers are invited to connect to Nicolai on a profound and very intimate level and stemming from his own brutal honesty and transparency enabling them to reach a higher and deeper understanding of themselves.

If the mind is constantly stuck in the repetition of old behavior, how can we expect a new result? This book is created to uplift, provoke, inform and rewire the mind of anyone who comes in touch with it. Therefore, its audience reaches far and wide to all levels of society and all people who are willing to work with themselves, or whoever is simply looking to read a fascinating story from the polarities of two hidden real world.

Similar titles

  • “Guru to Gangster” by Nayame Selassie, published by CreateSpace Independent Publishing, October 2016 - Main differences in Nicolai’s book it is appealing to all humans despite colors and gender and is trying to break people’s patterns rather than a biography.
  • “The Power of Now” by Echard Tolle, published by Namaste Publishing in 1997 - Both books appeal to any person interested in hearing an epic story, as well as the entire spiritual community. However, Nicolai’s story is deeply rooted in the criminal underworld giving unique insights to a closed world, organized spirituality and later to life moving beyond both. Nicolai’s book is not only a good story but also a strong message that anyone can change their life regardless of where they come from.
  • “Awareness” by Anthony De Mello, published by The Crown Publishing Group, 1990 - Both Books are appealing to the spiritual seeker and approaching the reader in a personal tone, with ideas and concepts of how to live a better life. Nicolai’s book stands out because he uses his raw real-life story, rather than fictional tales, giving the reader an empowering experience of relating and connecting to the writer.

Audience

“Gangsters N Gurus” is very well suited for anyone who is looking to transform their lives out of depression, co-dependency, addiction and more; the entire worldwide spiritual community; and anyone who is interested in reading a unique, engaging, entertaining and raw story.

Advance praise

"I believe Nicolai's story and teaching can help young people step into more consecutive roles."

Cranthorpe Millner

250 copies • Partial manuscript.
Cranthorpe Millner operates a hybrid publishing model. This means, should an author pass our editors’ strict filtering system, we can offer different kinds of agreements depending on the author and the manuscript. With some authors, we work under a ‘traditional’ model, whereby we cover the full cost of publication and the author is offered industry-standard royalties (8-10%). To some authors, we offer what we call a partnership or contributory agreement, whereby the author is asked for a financial contribution so that we may share the risk and enter into a partnership together to publish the author’s book. In this case, the author receives around 60-75% royalties.

1106 Design, LLC

Dear Author,

You worked hard to write your manuscript; finally, it's ready to release. You know that expert assistance is needed, but perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.

1106 Design is an author services company. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a market-ready book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in your name. This means you earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty.”

We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. That's why we offer a range of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices. Depending on your manuscript's word count and complexity, our packages range from $4,000 to $10,000. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of net revenue from book sales goes directly to you, never to us.

If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.

1106 Design has been in business since 2001 and is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau. We are a “Highly Recommended Expert” at IngramSpark.com and rated "Excellent" at Alli, The Alliance for Independent Authors, at SelfPublishingAdvice.org, where you can find a "watchdog list" of the best and worst publishing services companies.

How can we serve you today?

Sincerely,
Michele DeFilippo, owner
