Becoming A Diamond: The Strongest, Most Valuable Version of You is an inspirational, self-help book with reflections from the author Sivad Johnson's dynamic life and career of service. The reader journeys with him from his early work into his heart for art, through his dedication to fighting fires and saving lives, to his remarkable practices of discipline. The author serves up "defining" and "refining" thoughts in each chapter. He outlines phases with "visions" to evolve into a metaphorical diamond while trekking life's labyrinth of decisions. An avid storyteller, Sivad Johnson appeared on stage at The Moth GrandSLAM, Mainstage, and The Moth Radio Hour nationally. As a keynote, panelist, and member of Toastmasters International, he spoke to youth groups, students, and adults. He also shared messages on T-shirt designs and YouTube. The week before Sivad's earthly departure, he and his daughters visited his sister's family. One goal was to have her begin editing this book, which he had just completed writing.
