An unflinching memoir of survival, redemption, and the unstoppable human spirit.

Born into violence, poverty, and chaos on the unforgiving streets of Southeast London, Mark Anthony seemed destined for a life of destruction. Abandoned by his father, battered by abuse, entangled in crime, drugs, and despair, his early years read like a grim checklist of everything that could go wrong. Expelled from schools, locked in children’s homes, betrayed, imprisoned — even battling cancer, bankruptcy, and false accusations — Mark’s life spiraled again and again to the brink of ruin.

But in his darkest hour, behind prison walls, Mark made a decision that would change everything.

Today, Mark Anthony stands among the world’s leading hypnotists — a testament to the incredible power of the human mind to heal, transform, and rise. His journey is a raw, riveting roller-coaster of heartbreak and hope, tragedy and triumph. From being treated like scum to walking the path of personal greatness, this is a story of relentless resilience, second chances, and the unstoppable power of choice.

Important: Although Mark eventually built a highly successful career as a world-class hypnotist, this is not a book about hypnosis techniques or hypnosis training.
It is a true story of personal survival, transformation, and rising from the ashes — a journey from rogue to respected.

"It’s not where you start — it’s the choices you make."
