With a staggering 25,793 followers on Twitter and more than 10,688 quality tweets, one can understand how popular @lagresto and appreciate to what extent people are actually following his tweets for a daily dose of “Magical Thinking“.

He has published several e-books which are related to his line of expertise; “The Principles of Success”,  “The Journey”, “What’s Stopping You”, “The 100 Day Breakthrough”, “The Power of Magical Thinking”, and he is currently working on a new book entitled “The 21 Day Breakthrough!”.

"We create our own reality in life, so, what ever you believe is true, what ever you tell yourself about yourself is true." 8irs47mk6e

Interview140 Analysis and Lessons:

Life is not easy, we all get stuck with our habitual behavior and struggle with the heavy baggage of our past which we carry upon our shoulders. We are always in need for people like Larry to give us a wake up call and remind us that life can actually be an enjoyable ride.

It took Larry a tragedy – losing his own wife – in order to be able to transform himself and realize his own potential in life. It helped him realize his own inner strengths, those he never knew he had. This changed his life and pushed him to become a man who knows how to make a difference in the life of others.

Again, like we have seen in Paulo Coelho’s experience with social media, we can see it again with Larry. He is a man who aspires to touch people’s hearts. His passion is to connect with other people and help them realize that they can be happy – no matter what -. Social media offers the right tools for such men.
