The Only Way is Up: The Journey of an Immigrant is a new self help booktargeted towards women, African Americans and immigrants. It addressesthe social decline in the developed world and offers insight andsolutions through the collective effort of individuals in the communityand by empowerment, encouragement, hope and faith.

Atlanta, GA, December 01,2009 -- Author Folake Taylor was inspired to write this book by thetroubling social trends in the developed world. She is a foreign bornMD who has dared to express an opinion about issues she believes are inneed of a new direction in the American society and most of the westerncountries. She offers solutions to alleviate these and other problems,even as she makes a connection to global views and personalexperiences. According to Folake Taylor, “Though leaders politicallyand economically, America and many industrialized countries are notleaders socially. We have fallen short in this regard. Do we have totrade modernization for social values?”

The Only Way is Up: TheJourney of an Immigrant is a phenomenal read and though literatureexists on similar subjects, they are usually not authored by animmigrant (with a view from within and without); neither do theycontain such an array of information in a single book. Folake Taylorprovides an interesting perspective for women and African Americansmost especially, as seen through the eyes of an immigrant. She paints apicture of unique struggles and triumphs that one scarcely ever readson paper while offering a matchless viewpoint to assist immigrants fromthe third world.

In this self-help book, Folake Taylorconstantly exudes positivity and emphasizes empowerment throughpromoting self esteem and instilling a sense of self worth which buildthe foundation for success in life. She ties in her global andprofessional experiences as an MD and the expertise this affordsconcerning certain subject matters.
