24¾ Adventures to help the 50 Million Americans Experiencing Mental Health Issues

Go Be Brave

LOS ANGELES, April 20, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
On Tuesday, April 25, 2023, Netflix and Discovery+ host Leon Logothetis will release his new book, Go Be Brave: 24¾ Adventures for a Fearless, Wise, and Truly Magnificent Life. The book encourages readers to fight for their voice and find ways to free themselves from unhealthy labels we tend to place on ourselves and society, including mental health stigmas, bullying, and trauma. His own journey of self-discovery inspires Logothetis’ book as he learned to be brave in order to overcome mental health obstacles in his own life.

His book comes at a crucial time, with over 50 million Americans experiencing a mental health illness. “The key is to be brave,” says Logothetis. “I want readers to know that it is OK not to be OK. It’s OK not always to be strong. Through my years traveling around the world with no money to my name, relying solely on the kindness of strangers, I found that true bravery is when you know you need to ask for help. When we speak our truth.”

Go Be Brave takes readers on 24¾ adventures, with bravery exercises to start becoming more confident and courageous, arming them with the bravery skills to make life what they intended it to be. Leon, who also struggled with years of bullying, trauma, along with mental health issues, serves as the tour guide throughout.

• Why everyone should get mad: The five lessons of anger, towards understanding that anger is simply fear turned inside out.
• Learn to say “yes” to adventure, and embrace saying “no” to things that don’t serve you.
• How finding a bravery buddy is the interpersonal connection we need to experience deep change.
• Start writing in a “truth diary” – where you get a safe place to finally speak your truth.

Logothetis has made a successful career out of inspiring others around the world through his popular NETFLIX show, The Kindness Diaries (now airing on Discovery+). He believes that bravery isn’t something you either have or don’t have — it’s something you can learn over time with practice and dedication. “It takes courage every day to step into the unknown and speak our truths,” says Logothetis. “But if we do it together, we can all become brave emotional warriors.”

Go Be Brave offers readers an opportunity for transformation by guiding them through steps towards embracing vulnerability and taking risks in order to live with joy rather than fear. By teaching readers how to be brave enough to confront their issues head-on, the book provides a path forward for those struggling with fear and doubt.

Logothetis hopes this book will serve as a beacon of hope for those who feel trapped — giving them back control over their lives by helping them see that they can conquer anything they set their minds on. With Go Be Brave, readers can begin the process of healing while finding strength within themselves along the way.

Hotel Nikko San Francisco’s Anna Marie Presutti will be honored by her alma mater with the 2023 Bears of Distinction Outstanding Alumna Award. The 2023 Bears of Distinction Dinner and Awards Ceremony will take place at 6 p.m., April 21, in the Christopher S. Bond Learning Center at the William H. Darr Agricultural Center in Springfield.  

Each year, the Missouri State University Alumni Association honors a group of distinguished alumni, former faculty and staff, and volunteers in an awards ceremony recognizing their exceptional achievements. Their leadership roles and impact on their communities are among the hallmarks of these alumni and friends from around the globe. This year, Anna Marie has been selected by the alumni association as the 2023 Outstanding Alumna Award winner.

Anna Marie Presutti began her hospitality career at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. She realized the true magic in hospitality comes through genuine customer service, listening to colleagues and guests alike, and serving with compassion and dignity. 

“I’ve always felt drawn to a life of service. My role has allowed me to help people, whether it be a hotel guest or member of my community, and has enabled me to provide well-deserved opportunities to the young men and women beginning their careers in hospitality.” – Anna Marie Presutti

Her professional experience includes leadership positions with ITT Sheraton, Hilton Hotels, and Sunstone Hotel Properties. She has been named one of “The Most Influential Women in the Bay Area” by the San Francisco Business Times 9 years in a row and is consistently recognized for her work. Anna Marie’s additional accolades include Outstanding General Manager of the Year by the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AH&LA), SF Hotel Council Peter Goldman Award of Excellence winner, and PCMA’s Legend Award. 

Additionally, Anna Marie serves on the US Travel Association Board of Directors. As Chairman of the SF Travel Board, she was an integral part of the Super Bowl Host Committee which captured Super Bowl 50 for San Francisco in 2016. 

A firm believer in giving back to the community, Presutti has displayed compassion through her commitment to community service and environmental stewardship, inspiring hotel colleagues and Hotel Nikko employees to dedicate more than 1,000 hours each year to serving lunch, planting trees, or donating to Dress for Success which supports the local community. 

Since joining Hotel Nikko San Francisco in 2004, Anna Marie envisioned the Manager in Training program at Hotel Nikko as a way to recruit the best and brightest from MSU to give the future generation of the Hospitality Industry an immersive, hands-on experience of working in a luxury property. To this day, the program has recruited 25 MSU Graduates, covering relocation costs and housing and providing a guaranteed Manager role after completion.
