From Rabbi to Global Investor: 'Living Dangerously' Explores the Journey from Spiritual Collapse to Soulful Success
'Moving and instructive… a story of growth, spirituality, and family.'— Mario Lopez, Host, Extra and Access Hollywood
SUFFERN, NY, UNITED STATES, June 13, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- In a world obsessed with material success, 'Living Dangerously' by Irwin Katsof delivers a refreshing and deeply personal message: it's possible to build a meaningful life without losing your soul.
This powerful new memoir has already caught the attention of Hollywood.
Part memoir, part spiritual roadmap, Living Dangerously chronicles Katsof's remarkable journey—from rabbinic leader and faith-based activist to international businessman and trauma healing facilitator. Whether he's organizing a global satellite broadcast to support Soviet Jewry, co-leading trade missions across the world, or tremoring through a daily trauma release ritual in Jerusalem, Katsof's life is anything but ordinary.
In 'Living Dangerously', readers will travel from the Old City of Jerusalem to the boardrooms of New York, from the Republic of Georgia to the hills of Monsey, all while following one man's quest to live with integrity, purpose, and divine connection. Along the way, Katsof reveals the practices that helped him confront early wounds, shed false personas, and reconnect with the core of who he is.
With endorsements from leaders across media, business, and spirituality, 'Living Dangerously' is already being praised as 'a compelling memoir... a master storyteller's art' (Gregory Brenneman, Former CEO, Continental Airlines) and 'Moving and instructive… a story of growth, spirituality, and family.' (Omar Epps, Actor, House MD and ER).
'Living Dangerously' officially launches on Father's Day in eBook and paperback formats. The audiobook edition, narrated by the author, will follow shortly.
The book is published by Beverly House Press, a boutique publisher that partners with thought leaders and changemakers to bring impactful nonfiction to life.

But beyond the physical health goals, many guests are really searching for happiness and love above all else, Sanatorium shows as O'Rourke and the camera of cinematographer Denys Melnyk follow them to tell their stories.

Emma Heming Willis was 'panicked' by husband Bruce Willis' dementia diagnosis
Emma Heming Willis is opening up about her private world with husband Bruce Willis. The advocate and model, 47, is getting candid in an upcoming interview with Diane Sawyer about the 70-year-old "Die Hard" actor's dementia diagnosis and how the family is handling it all. "I was so panicked, and I just remember hearing it and just not hearing anything else," Heming Willis told Sawyer in a teaser clip released Wednesday, Aug. 13. The actress' interview with Sawyer is set to air in full during the ABC special "Emma & Bruce Willis: The Unexpected Journey" on Tuesday, Aug. 26, at 8 p.m. ET. The legendary actor retired after being diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in 2023. Earlier this year, after the death of Oscar winner Gene Hackman and his wife and caregiver Betsy Arakawa, Heming Willis wrote in a vulnerable Instagram caption that "caregivers need care too. Period. Full stop. #supportcaregivers." On Father's Day, Heming Willis spoke out about what their "unexpected journey" looks like for her family. In an Instagram post on Sunday, June 15, she wished a happy Father's Day "to all the dads living with disability or disease, showing up in the ways they can and to the children who show up for them." She added that Willis teaches their children "resilience, unconditional love, and the quiet strength in simply being present." The couple share two daughters: Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11. The actor also has three adult daughters with his ex-wife and Oscar nominee Demi Moore: Rumer, 36; Scout, 34; and Tallulah, 31. But Heming Willis also shared that she was feeling "profoundly sad today," reflecting, "I wish, with every cell in my body, that things could be different for him and lighter for our family." She said the phrase "it is what it is" helps her "return to the acceptance of what is and not fight this every step of the way like I used to." On March 21, the couple celebrated their 16th wedding anniversary: "Today marks 16 years with the love of a lifetime," Heming Willis wrote in a heartfelt Instagram caption. "We've shared monumental highs and devastating lows, and through it all, we've built something timeless," Heming Willis wrote. "I'm so deeply grateful for every chapter I've had with him—and all the ones we'll continue to write, in our language of unconditional love."
