About the Author: Helper of Community

Be it as a person’s counselor or as a founding member of facilities for people experiencing homelessness, Kevin Everett FitzMaurice, M.S., seeks to make others’ lives better by helping others improve how they function.
As a volunteer, he supports community services to improve others’ living conditions.
As a counselor, he “counsels” in the traditional sense: advising, directing, and nudging—or pushing—others into facing and resolving their issues.

About the Author: Trained Professional

Mr. FitzMaurice has various formal and advanced training in counseling, including Addictions Counseling, Family Therapy, advanced Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), and Transactional Analysis (TA), and over 1,650 hours of diverse training for continuing education units (CEUs).
To make the best use of that extensive training, he takes an integrative approach, grounding himself in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT & REBT) and using the other theories to build upon that one core theory rather than focusing on multiple theories and mastering none of them.
After more than twenty-five years in counseling, Mr. FitzMaurice has worked in the substance abuse field, directed two community mental health programs, and spent fifteen years counseling in private practice. During that time, he refined many principles for counseling methods.
He now puts those principles and methods into book form to share them with a wider audience so more people can benefit than he can reach in person. He has written over sixty books, most of which are available worldwide as ebooks from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google, Kobo, and Apple.

About the Author: Self-Educated

The philosophical odyssey of Mr. FitzMaurice began in the late ’60s.
It has remained a mostly self-taught pursuit, with little formal training or education in philosophy.
His odyssey started with Western philosophy and a study of pragmatism and atheism.
For example, he read every book by Nietzsche translated into English here.
From there, he moved to study Zen, Buddhism, Hinduism, and misguided experimentation with psychedelics to achieve states of superconsciousness.
He continued into Eastern philosophy, pursuing Taoism and J. Krishnamurti.
Next came a study of Christianity that started with seven readings of the Old Testament and nine readings of the New Testament from cover to cover. A deep dive into the study of Western psychology followed this.
Christianity, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (REBT & CBT), General Semantics, and an Eastern combination of J. Krishnamurti, Taoism, Yoga, and Zen (Chan) continue to influence FitzMaurice’s thinking.
More information about the author’s life can be found in Stiffer: Stoic Mind.

About the Author: Contributions to the Community

Community Service: One of the founders of the Francis House, Siena House, and Stephen Center homeless facilities still operating in Nebraska.
He also developed a community free yoga program that grew from one class and thirty-two members to over 4,600 members and over a dozen free yoga classes.
Certified Yoga Teacher: Trained and certified in Mumbai, India. FitzMaurice’s yoga classes format.
Charity Organizations: FitzMaurice used to be a proud supporter of several charities he now no longer believes are respectable or worthy. AmnestyInternational, Uman Rights Watch (HRW), ILO, LawyersCommittee.org, OHCHR.org, and the UN are too busy persecuting Israel for defending against the known terrorist group Hamas (Iran) to care about helping people suffering from Islamist regimes. Someone explain to them that triage requires focusing on the worst doing the worst, not donations or political-correct agendas. Someone help them face the fact that Christians are the most persecuted group worldwide.
