2012 Gold Medal Winner in the Self-Help Category of the prestigious Ippy Awards.
With The Economic Dependency Trap: Breaking Free to Self-Reliance, Helin exposes what he calls “the most deceptive pandemic of the 21st century” and presents a plan for transforming economic dependency into healthier outcomes across all echelons of society—from minority groups to middle-class populations. His timely strategies advocating self-reliance, individual responsibility, policy reform and cultural awareness go a long way toward eliminating welfare dependency by reframing debilitating mindsets. This urgent message, which transcends social, political and class lines, must be embraced to end our march toward third world America.
