Meet the Author - Jason Sharp

Bliss Books & Wine is happy to welcome author, veteran, and Chicago native Jason L. Sharp to our literary space.  He’ll be sharing his new release Eyes Wide Open: Learning to Suffer, a heart-wrenching story of perseverance and triumph over unimaginable adversity.

 
 

About the Author

As the CEO of Sharp Leader, a company that focuses on leadership development, executive coaching, and program management, Jason L. Sharp has authored "Eyes Wide Open." The book provides valuable insights into how to confront adversity, drawing from his vast experience in both government and industry. Additionally, the company's Executive Lounge, which is scheduled to open its doors to the public in the Fall of 2023, will serve as a collaborative space for every walk of life to grow.

 

About the Book

Growing up in extreme poverty in Chicago, Sharp faced seemingly insurmountable obstacles at every turn. He found hope in humanity itself which led him to join the Army. He developed an unshakable resilience, grit, and mental toughness that propelled him forward through some of life's toughest challenges.

​From battling cancer to enduring the rigors of Ranger School, Jason shares his hard-won wisdom and insights into what it takes to develop the mental fortitude needed to overcome life's many obstacles.

​He has carefully penned a book whose applicability extends to aspiring entrepreneurs, business leaders, military service members, and anyone looking to make massive changes in their lives and push the envelope in several domains.

 By drawing on his personal experiences and lessons learned, Jason’s inspiring message is one of hope, perseverance, and the power of the human spirit to overcome even the most difficult circumstances. Whether you're a teen living the street life, a soldier on the front lines, or someone looking to build greater resilience and grit, "Eyes Wide Open: Learning to Suffer" is an essential read.

WEDNESDAY AT THE WRITER’S TABLE

Author Ryan Bernsten

In what started as a graduate thesis project, Bernsten, took a 23,000-mile journey through all 50 states to answer that question, ultimately documenting his experience in 50 States of Mind: A Journey to Rediscover American Democracy. Bernsten’s book is a work of narrative travel non-fiction in the style of Alexis de Tocqueville that takes readers on a long and winding journey through all 50 states to explore the complexities of today’s America. Leading with the desire to listen and overcome our preconceived notions, “50 States of Mind” asks how we can infuse humanity and nuance back into political conversations to keep our democracy strong.
