At one of the lowest points of his life, Mark Howard found himself overwhelmed by anxiety, crushed by depression, and trapped in a cycle of fear, shame, and exhaustion. What began as unexplained physical symptoms turned into sleepless nights, financial collapse, personal heartbreak, and a mental battle he couldn’t see a way out of.

But through a series of small, intentional steps — some discovered by accident, some through painful trial and error — Mark found a path out of the darkness and back into peace, clarity, and hope. Now he shares that path with you.

In Changed, Mark opens the door to his personal journey with honesty, vulnerability, and practical insight. Inside, you’ll discover:

• The real story behind his breakdown and the heavy emotional fog that followed
• 9 life-changing steps that helped him escape anxiety and depression
• How simple practices like breathing, talking, serving, and gratitude can transform your mental and emotional health
• How your environment, habits, and daily decisions may be contributing to your struggles — and how to change them
• Why “hidden mentors” and small, consistent wins can rebuild hope
• A built-in 30-day journal to help you track your progress and implement what you learn

This is not a medical textbook, nor is it written by a doctor — it’s written by someone who’s been there. Someone who cried on the bathroom floor, fought suicidal thoughts, and slowly, daily, found a way to breathe again. And if he can make it out, you can too.

Whether you’re battling anxiety, walking through a difficult season, or trying to support someone you love, this book will give you encouragement, clarity, and practical tools to help you take your next step toward freedom.

There is hope. There is healing. And it begins with one choice, one breath, one step at a time.
