At 21, he was a drug lord and a millionaire playboy. He made between one and three million dollars a month. He had women, yachts, private jets and mansions all over the world. He had everything a man could want. Yet, he felt miserable.Jorge Luis Valdés, as a 20-year-old, dreamed of becoming a millionaire before he was 30. He had everything - technically speaking - to make his dream come true: family, education, a brilliant mind, and an enormous capacity for effort and sacrifice. He showed great promise, but one day he crossed a line he thought he never would; he succumbed to the temptation of money and power. He was seduced by a group of Colombian businessmen to put his financial genius at the service of international drug trafficking. Some years later, the group would be known as the Medellin Cartel. In less than six months, he had become a dangerous drug lord, responsible for 95 percent of the cocaine coming into the United States, facing prison, torture and betrayal.Narco Mindset not only tells the story of a drug lord from poverty to immense wealth to, ultimately, redemption, but it also uses the drug lord's life to focus on life principles and the decisions he made. The lessons he learned the hard way will challenge the reader to stop, listen and reflect on their life, inspiring them to act on that reflection, as the reader discovers hope, passion, meaning, redemption, and what is truly important in life. The Narco Mindset Workbook will challenge the reader to question the beliefs they have as they relate to the value of family, money and power. It will also encourage them to meditate on choices they have made or are thinking about making. This Workbook can be a book for any reader, as well as leaders to use with youth (ages 12 to 19). It is a book that can be easily read in class, in a book club, or simply by any individual reader.
