Book Cover & Preview Text
My name is Alton Jamison and I am many things. I am a Child of God. A Father. A Husband. A Son. I am a Motivational Speaker. An Engineer. A Minister. A Successful Entrepreneur. I am also an ex-convict. I am other things as well. But, for our time together, I want to talk about my conviction. The cops never arrested me. They didn’t have to. I put the handcuffs on myself. I took those cold steel loops, slipped them over my own wrists, and secured them. And, without even knowing it, I walked around in them for many years. You see, none of this happened in the physical realm. I was convicted in my mind. Mentally, I locked myself away and served hard time. From the outside people couldn’t see me sitting behind bars, on a cot, sporting the steel cuffs as if they were diamond-studded bracelets. From the outside people saw a young man struggling to pull himself up from nothing, a success-story in the making. They praised me and probably envied me, but last time I checked, no one envied jail. Had they known what was really going on—if they saw the real picture—they would have likely turned away. I need you to know that if you’re bound by similar chains you already have the tools to free yourself. If you’re about to begin your own self-imposed sentence, know that your redemption is in hand. I’ve chipped away at the wall, dug the tunnel, and filed the bars. I planned my escape and I want to show you the way out, too. Come with me. Don’t be afraid. There’s a better world beyond the prison gates. Let’s just get these handcuffs off first. . .

About the Book
“ … I am many things. I am a Child of God. A Father. A Husband. A Son. I am a Motivational Speaker. An Engineer. A Minister. A Successful Entrepreneur. I am also an ex-convict…”
Meet Alton Jamison, a living, breathing American success story. And, like many American success stories, the path by which he chose to thrive was not the one born unto him. In this memoir he explores the trials of seeing his father through prison bars, growing up in poverty, and overcoming the ultimate tragedy in order to escape the mental handcuffs he’d worn most of his life.
No More Handcuffs also takes it a step further, moving out of autobiographical territory by handing over the keys to whatever handcuffs currently lock you down. While there are no pat answers in this volume, there are options, spelled out clearly and concisely. Finances. Depression. Low self-esteem. The five keys that helped Alton escape mental incarceration can help you, too.
You hold them in your hand, the keys to your freedom. Do you have the courage to turn the lock like he did? Read and find out…
