Joining The Mental Bar on Saturday, August 12 at 12 p.m. is author and motivational speaker Jonas Royster, who will be introducing his second book "Quotes Off the Wall." Where his first book was a fictional story based on his own, "Bangin’ the Making of a Y.G.," Royster opted to write an inspirational book explaining how to break bad thinking habits over 31 days. In this new journey, Royster takes us with him as he visits prisons and helps prisoners change their mindset regarding their future, how they can change for the better, egos, emotional intelligence, and sharing bits of his own transformative journey throughout the years. Guests can expect to hear Royster read excerpts from "Quotes Off the Wall," giveaways, and opportunities to ask him questions. As someone who was raised in the neighborhood, Tommy and Daneyel are thrilled to be hosting Royster at The Mental Bar and hope to see members of the community there to listen to his incredible story.
