who is circle for?
In Circle Eliot takes readers on a journey from his boyhood as an abused, unhappy, frightened child to adulthood, where he learned to recognize, honor and trust all the gifts life has bestowed on him. A beautiful memoir which inspires readers on their journey of self discovery, growth and forgiveness, Circle is for everyone who has a dream, anyone who ever felt too afraid to step out on faith and execute a passion in life, and anyone who was too reserved to share their gifts with the world.

I know there are so many like myself that can relate and hopefully grow fromthe lessons learned in 'Circle. This inspiring story is proof that your beqinnings do not have to dictate your ending."
Elijah Jamal
"The Circle Letter is not the average overcomer story. Eliot, the author takes you to the very dark places of his upbringing while still inspiring hope and keeping the message of hope and purpose during those times. This book challenges you to look inward and step outside of your comfort zone, changing your mindset, that no matter what the challenge is you will succeed and tap into your true potential. It is a must read, as it explores the dim lit corners of our lives and shows us how to let the true sunshine in."
Jerome Fletcher
"How often do you think, “wow if only I can put my life experiences into words and share them with the world?” Well “Circle” by Eliot Popkin does just that. A book consisting of 21 oversharing personal letters (chapters) to his younger self which consist of vulnerability, growth, strength, overcoming with a go forward message at the end of each letter.A book where intention vs impact meet in the middle. As humans it’s hard to open up and share our story with the world especially when it comes to shame. Eliot puts it out there in this book which allows him to be free, a weight lifted from which now he can soar.A great message we can all learn from."

"Eliot bares his heart to share the raw and real details of overcoming the deeply rooted challenges life can bring us. His transparency can be a helping hand to those who have faced unexpected and unfair trauma, from the exact places where we should expect comfort, love and acceptance."
Anthony Burel
"Circle is Eliot's life work!!! It’s the vehicle God has chosen for him to reach the masses. Circle is inspiring and encouraging and pulls at the emotions of its readers to be dreamers- to live life without fear, to be bold, and to persevere through any and all obstacles to achieve your dreams. Thank you Eliot for not only sharing your life story but for inspiring us all to be who God created us to be."
Barry McCauley
"This book ‘Circle – Letters to my younger self’ was one of the most inspiring books that I have read in a long time. It takes courage to be vulnerable and Eliot did just that! Not only did he share the peaks and valleys that life brings, but also encouraging words to “his younger self”. This book serves as a guide to us all on how to reflect on our past and keep moving forward. It is definitely a book of transparency, encouragement, wholeness and hope that no matter what, there are better days ahead! A must read!!”"
