About The Book
How keen is your self-knowledge? Who influences your understanding of others? When was the last time you really concentrated on your purpose, your resilience, your perspective? And what in the world is polvo?
In Control, Influence, Accept(FN), author Dan Moore guides you on an antic journey of self-reflection with a very serious goal: to help you cultivate your inner-self who will be ready for whatever the universe throws at you—the obvious and the odious.
From his days selling books door-to-door in the Arizona desert to trying Portuguese delicacies under the watchful eyes of his would-be in-laws, Moore has lived a life just on the edge of the ordinary . . . and he has extracted extraordinary insights from every colorful experience. In hilarious, everyman language, Moore describes his own inflection points and shows you how personal growth will help you get through when getting out simply isn’t an option.
In a world where the only constant is change, Dan Moore thinks you owe it to yourself to set positive patterns for the one and only asset you can actually control—you. No one knows what the future holds. Your best preparation is in the self you bring along.

“Door-to-door book salesman, corporate president, and motivational speaker Dan Moore has packed more than fifty years of wit, wisdom, and war stories into this wonderfully entertaining, powerfully argued, and genuinely inspiring new book. It teaches us how to live healthier, happier, and more purposeful lives in the face of a future that remains radically uncertain. It deserves to be read and reread, put into practice, and passed on to those whose lives we would like to influence.”

“We don’t need to live in fear of the unknown when there’s a wealth of knowledge available to us on how to flourish in chaos. Going miles deeper than the usual ‘believe in yourself!’ mantra you’ll find in self-help, Dan uses psychology, history, and wildly entertaining stories to draw the reader in and give them compelling and practical ways to cope with life’s obstacles. I highly recommend this book to any human being who wants to stand tall in the storms of life with a big goofy smile on their face.”
– Sarah Maddack Bell, Artist, Songwriter, and Influencer

Dan’s firsthand experience of turning principles into action has guided thousands of entrepreneurs to succeed in business and their personal lives. Control, Influence, Accept (For Now) is a must-read!”
– Mark Palmer, named by TIME as A Technology Pioneer Who Will Change Your Life
“I find it helpful to every now and then take stock of my own development, do a SWOT analysis of my strategic plan for personal success, and check my attitude. Dan Moore’s insightful book is a complete, thorough and entirely enjoyable read filled with excellent questions necessary to ask one’s self to get the answers you need to take control, flex your boundaries, and boost your resilience. In this challenging and transformative era of change, I give my full-throated endorsement of this timely and much-needed book written by my friend and mentor, Dan Moore.”
