Brian Barton, a former major league baseball
player with the St. Louis Cardinals and Atlanta Braves, puts aside the bat and
ball to debut his book, Mindset: Awareness and Action. The
Los Angeles native was motivated to write this book through witnessing the
perilous effects that everyday life has on the mindset, especially in
impoverished communities. Mindset is
written to be a thought provoking commentary that promotes awareness of these
effects while promoting guidance and action for developing a healthy and
enhanced mentality. His philosophy is that exposure eliminates mental
enclosure. This book will bring insight to the effects of a social mentality
being adopted as part of a personal mindset.
