"A valuable, transformative prescription for a life of greater truth. Hinsley crafts a meticulously researched argument that will keep readers engaged and inspired...the author shows that readers can choose to master their awareness, consume content that uplifts them, and uncover motivations that ignite their sense of purpose. Moreover, this emotional evolution comes not at the expense of success but through creating it-resulting in joy for both readers and their communities." - KIRKUS ReviewsForm & Essence is about the undeniable power of invisible and hard-to-measure things in a world obsessed with data and demonstration. What we see on our screens often eclipses what we know in our hearts, when it is in our hearts that we find purpose and love. The labels we put on each other can keep us from building deep relationships, when it is through relationships that agreements are made and change happens. The metrics we use to claim progress in school or work can leave little room for earnest commitment to joy, when it is joy that fuels passion and creativity.There is a deeper Truth. A balance between the exterior and the interior that can reconnect us with passion, overcome division, and reveal true purpose. Form & Essence unpacks the code that causes us to value what is visible over what is vital, and teaches the reader to identify and practice deeper Truth.Form & Essence includes exclusive interviews with a wide range of incredible people from the current President of the Board of the Ford Foundation Dr. Francisco Cigarroa, to a founder of National Instruments Jeff Kodosky, Alamo Drafthouse Founder Tim League, Palliative Care Physician at a major research institution Laura Morrison, Grammy-nominated hip-hop artist and entrepreneur SaulPaul, major philanthropists like Morton Meyerson, one of the greatest classical guitarists of all time Pepe Romero, and many others.

The aftermath of our team's battle in the sewers of Rockmoor against Elias, were-rats, warriors with magically morphing tattoos, and mysterious demon spawn, is messy indeed. They are wounded, exhausted, and rattled.The heroes take shelter briefly in the Thieves' Den but not all the thieves wish them well. Disaster strikes when Ohlen and X'andria take one of Elias' magical objects to The Sorcerer of Rockmoor to ask his help. Waif, Zarina, and her girls, strike out on their own to build a coalition against the evil forces that destroyed Zarina's husband Mordimer. The heroes are framed for Elias' evil deeds. Gnome encounters a ruthless one-eyed hunter and a were-lioness, and an abominable monster named Gruder is released into the city.In this confusing and dangerous atmosphere, a young Meriden named Petric arrives and asks for the heroes' help. His village elder, Alzbeda, is missing, he has gold and transport, and he comes at just the right time for the group to get out of Rockmoor.

After narrowly avoiding death by goblin horde, tentacular worm, and conjured conflagration, Arden, Gnome, Ohlen, Ruprecht, X'andria, and Boudreaux emerge into the daylight and seek to understand the madness that transpired beneath the Westoveran mountains. They journey to the port city of Rockmoor to recover, to strengthen, to learn. But between the rats, the thieves, the smugglers, and the otherworldly demonic cretins, there is very little rest for the weary-and they realize the darkness they've encountered is but a foreshadowing of the malevolence approaching.
