Daniel A. Miller, a.k.a. Danny Miller, is the author of Losing Control, Finding Serenity: How the Need to Control Hurts Us and How to Let It Go (Ebb & Flow Press, March 2011), which was a Foreward Reviews Book of the Year Award Finalist.Like most compulsive controllers, Danny Miller was always driven to succeed. He graduated from UCLA with honors in business administration and finished in the top 5 percent of his class at the UCLA School of Law.While still in his 20s, he became a popular real estate instructor in the UCLA extension program and a few years later published a critically acclaimed, best-selling professional book, How to Invest in Real Estate Syndicates (Dow Jones-Irwin). He also founded the California Institute of Real Estate Education, which offered state-licensed seminars to thousands of real estate professionals.Financial success came early as well. Celebrities and wealthy people entrusted him with large sums to invest on their behalf. By his mid-30s he could afford to live in the exclusive Old Bel Air section of Los Angeles, only a few doors away from Sylvester Stallone and just up the street from where Elvis Presley had once lived.But for all his achievements and success, Danny had no sense of inner peace and serenity. How could he? He was imprisoned by his fears, anger and anxieties and thus not open to the wonders all around him.It took a long series of personal setbacks, but at last Danny began a new life journey based on letting go of control. He tried to go with the ups and downs and twists and turns of life, instead of resisting them and trying to control people and events.He learned effective tools and techniques for letting go of control in important areas such as family, parenting, love and romance, the creative arts, sports, and the workplace. He became an accomplished fine artist, a published poet, a nationally ranked senior tournament tennis player, a happily married man, and much wiser parent-all while cutting his work time by more than half.He later wrote The Gifts of Acceptance: Embracing People and Things As they Are, a Library Journal 2018 Best Wellness Book of the Year and IBPA 2018 non-fiction Silver Medal Winner, and in March 25, published his latest book, The Way of The Wave: Nature's Model for Navigating Life's CurrentsThrough letting go of control, practicing acceptance, and "riding the Wave," Danny has found a different and more profound kind of success-an internal, core sense of well-being. He now writes and speaks about the remarkable benefits of letting go of control and practicing acceptance.
