Richard Todd Devens

Richard Todd Devens is a classically trained pianist, author, emcee, and motivational speaker. His latest book, ""Rational Polemics,"" is one of the most controversial, provocative, and thought-provoking books ever published. It is a brutally honest, no-holds-barred, politically incorrect challenge to all the BS that most of the world has been spoon-fed since birth. It has been called ""the book that makes people THINK,"" and encourages readers to consider alternative viewpoints. It has caused many people to look at life in a whole new way, and has won four awards.

Richard gives speeches on the topics of his book, but is also an emcee, as well as a highly inspirational motivational speaker. You will not hear the same tired cliches that you hear so often in other motivational speeches: ""Rah, rah, rah,"" ""Believe in yourself,"" ""You can be anything you want to be,"" ""Live your dreams,"" etc. Instead, you will receive SPECIFIC strategies that can be implemented immediately. You will also be encouraged to take ACTION, because the greatest ideas in the world will not work if they are not implemented.

When does the law of averages work and when does it NOT work? How do I find the will to plow ahead even when it seems that nothing will ever happen? These questions, and more, will be answered by a speaker who has suffered devastating financial collapse, severe depression, frustration, massive rejection, and feelings of hopelessness and despair. He has also made colossal mistakes.

But he is a survivor and a true believer in the power of the human spirit in overcoming adversity, and will convince you why YOUR life is worth fighting for.
