Aspire Higher

“In Aspire Higher, Ken Lindner brings his complete and genuine depth of being to the reader in search of a successful and meaningful life. Ken writes out of his deep faith that each of us can become so much more than we may have imagined or believed. He has given us the gift of a book that acts both as a wonderful companion, as well as a guide, on a journey to deeper meaning and authenticity. Inspired by Ken’s own personal life experience, his extraordinarily successful career, and his passionate love and faith in all of life’s infinite possibilities, he teaches us to overcome our perceived limitations, reaching both inward and upward to become better and thereby make the world better as well. His book is important . . . and it is beautiful.”

—Rabbi Eli Herscher, spiritual leader and teacher

“Helpful. Hopeful. Healing. Aspire Higher is a timely ‘fresh word.’ In a world of divisions, polarizations, scisms and isms—that should be wasms!—Ken Lindner navigates a path beyond positive thinking to positive living: psychological but not academic; spiritual but not religious; powerful and practical but not preachy. Most significantly this is a journey not ‘to’ your best self, but ‘through’ yourself as a life changing influence and impact on the lives of others. Do not write this work off as just another self-help product. This is a progressive pathway of love—not the mushy, shallow narcissistic type but one that equips you to touch and change the lives of those you love, and empowers you to love those you are yet to love.”

—Kenneth C. Ulmer, DMin, PhD, senior pastor/teacher, Faithful Central Bible Church

The brilliance is in the sheer simplicity of the lessons. Inspiring and transformative, once you start reading this book, you realize how much it is truly needed right now in these chaotic and often difficult times. Ultimately, Lindner shows the reader how much broader your reach can be—how each of us can have a profound and positive effect on the world around us."
