The book Fractured to Freedom, launching July 4, challenges conventional celebrations of independence by proposing that true freedom begins internally through personal healing. Author Al Perry suggests that liberation from emotional pain, fear, and silence represents a profound form of independence that does not require public spectacle. The release date is intentionally symbolic, positioning personal well-being and the courage to live authentically as parallel to collective national liberty.
"This book is more than a story; it's a deeply personal invitation to take full responsibility for your well-being and actively participate in your own healing," Perry explains. He connects the timing to his own journey, stating that finding a way out of being "trapped in your own story" embodies a personal independence day. The work is structured as a comprehensive, interactive guide divided into nine sections designed to facilitate holistic growth.
The book begins with Perry's personal narrative of transformation from a "fractured" individual to a healer and teacher. It then provides actionable tools across several domains of wellness. These include daily practices for creating a healthy mindset, exploring the body's connective tissue through concepts like the mystical dance of fascia and gentle "Yin Stretches," and understanding energy anatomy such as chakras and meridians. Additional sections cover personalized nutrition, meditation techniques including a "One-Minute Reset," mastering sleep hygiene, and transforming emotional energy using Taoist Five Element theory and Qigong.
Perry's methodology blends ancient Taoist wisdom with practical, modern insight, emphasizing that freedom often manifests quietly through stillness, breath, and courageous personal change. The guide includes dedicated journal lines and prompts to encourage immediate application and deeper self-reflection. Reader testimonials describe the book as a "beacon of light" offering relatable stories and transformative tools for anyone seeking genuine healing.
Al Perry's expertise is informed by over 36 years of helping others and his own path through trauma, addiction, and incarceration toward transformation. His studies in Taoist medicine, fascia, mindset training, and meditation form the foundation of the techniques shared. Fractured to Freedom: A Healing Journey will be available starting July 4 on Amazon. More information about the book and the author's additional teachings can be found at his website.
