Inspirational Quotes From Bobby Hart

Micky Dolenz of The Monkees Thank you to Micky Dolenz for the special Foreword he wrote for Bobby's book... “Bobby fully lets down his guard, vividly revealing his personal and professional struggles, many of which even I wasn’t aware of until now. He tells what was really going on during those mind-altering days and nights when he was busy launching the Monkees off onto our phenomenal musical careers.”	Peter Tork of The Monkees “I read Bobby’s book – I liked it! His story is so much like my own that the book is an insight into me. The journey of spiritual liberation means shedding the fear that keeps us from finding out who we really are under the masks we wear. Here, Bobby gives us a peek under the masks.” - Peter Tork, actor, and singer/ keyboardist/bass player of the Monkees	Clive Davis “Bobby Hart has been a very successful songwriter for many years.

I was charmed by Bobby and Tommy when we worked together on the set and the retelling of those cherished years is a complete delight that I’m sure you too will enjoy.” Barbara Eden, American television icon and star of “I Dream of Jeannie” ~ Boyce & Hart Guest Appearance: Season 3, Episode 6 Jeannie, the Hip Hippie	Bobby's Inspirational Quote I remind myself that the yardstick for measuring whether I've found my rightful place in the symphony of life is not wealth or power, but happiness.	Leon Russel “Those were truly psychedelic, strange and wonderful times. Reading your book reminded me that I had asked you to participate in the Mad Dogs Tour – as you are one of my favorite soul singers and organists. Your writing style is as entertaining as the rest of your show biz skills.” Leon Russell, Iconic American singer, songwriter, musician and producer.
Inspiration~Monkee Theme "Our assignment: write a theme song for the new TV show “the Monkees”. Boyce & I decided to walk to a nearby park. Boyce began strumming his guitar & I joined in by snapping my fingers & making noises with my mouth that simulated an open & closed hi-hat cymbal. We had created the perfect recipe for inspiration & started singing about just what we were doing: “walking down the street”. I’ve found that when I notice and appreciate the beauty right where I am, I find inspiration and more creativity	Keith Allison “Reading Bobby’s book was like watching my life pass before my eyes. As a 21 year old Hot Head I was fortunate to meet Bobby who always had a calming effect on me. His inspiration, affection and guiding hand has influenced me to this day. His musical, songwriting and vocal talent has always blown me away. He has always been like an older brother who cared. I am blessed to have him in my life; we made some great music together.” star of Dick Clark’s “Where the Action Is” & formerly of the Raiders	Caroline Boyce~Tommy's Widow Bobby's autobiography will immediately engage and draw you in as he takes you on the journey that is his life.

Bobby's Inspirational Quote I’ve found that creating hit songs or anything worthwhile and lasting always requires swimming against the currents of mediocrity. But, with this kind of effort, it is necessary to carve out time to relax, recharge and float on the currents of grace. Knowing when to do which and acting on it is called balance. Buddha taught a “Middle Path”; “Love is…the balanced rhythmic dance of planets, sun and moon lit.” Oddly enough, implementing both of these modes will require discipline and will power.	Bobby's Inspirational Quote There were times when I thought I was at the mercy of my circumstances. I remember when Tommy and I were told we would produce the Monkees and then told we wouldn’t. At first, I felt helpless and defeated, but then I soon accepted that I alone was responsible for my thoughts and my thoughts could change my circumstances. I believe that every circumstance has something to teach me, a sign post pointing out a flaw that I need to change or an opportunity to stretch myself toward something greater	Drew Dix, Medal of Honor Recipient “Bobby tells the story of his life and at the same time captures the essence of the turbulent times during the 60s. As an Army Captain, I lead 18 year old draftees in combat who now were able to vote as a result of the Let Us Vote campaign.” Drew Dix, Medal of Honor Recipient
Mark Winkler “A fast read loaded with practical information and terrific behind the scenes stories of how to make it in the music business. Highly recommended for aspiring songwriters and musicians everywhere”. Mark Winkler, Downbeat Magazine 2014 Jazz Male Vocalist — with Mark Winkler Music.	Desiree Rumbaugh "Bobby explains the techniques he used to achieve great financial success. Then, he reveals how he transformed his negative habits through changing his thought patterns. His years of yoga meditation, self discipline and divine love are inspiring. This book is a fascinating story of one man’s successful pursuit of happiness”. Desiree Rumbaugh, creator of the DVD series Yoga to the Rescue, holds certifications in Iyengar and Anusara Yoga and leads retreats, workshops, and trainings worldwide.	Bobby's Inspirational Quote Maybe we believed it when someone told us that we weren’t good enough. Up goes our protection barriers and down goes our confidence and energy. I am no stranger to rejection or to building barriers. Each of our walls are unique and we need to find our own ways of tearing them down. But, in my book Psychedelic Bubble Gum, I talk about some of the tools that helped me remove many obstructions from my sub-consciousness allowing me to step confidently though unfamiliar doors of opportunity.
Tom Capek “A fascinating story about opportunity and the cost of success. It’s about a time in the music business that was magical and will never happen again. Not only a musical journey but a spiritual one as well.” Tom Capek, Renowned Studio Engineer	Jim Strain Another great endorsement of Bobby's Book "Few songwriters have planted as many seeds in the public consciousness. Psychedelic Bubble Gum is very well written, told with sensitivity, insight and candor. It is an account of Hart’s personal and professional challenges and a voyage of spiritual discovery.” Jim Strain, screenwriter (Jumanji) and lecturer, UCLA Department of Film, Television and Digital Media	Bobby's Inspirational Quote Looking back on my life as I was writing my book, I could see that the opportunities in my life always came by creation and not by chance. Even though at the time it might have seemed like a surprising good fortune of fate, pulling back to see the big picture, I could see that I had sowed some seeds in the past and that when the conditions were favorable, they had finally sprouted. Become the controller of your own destiny by the thoughts and actions you entertain every day.
cont' Bobby's Inspirational Quote ...”Using our Dynamic Will, we can send out vibrations that will combine with natural harmonic forces to create favorable circumstances. Wouldn’t it be great if we could all try a little harder today to be calm and kind and resurrect our consciousness from human feelings to the divine qualities of love, wisdom and peace.	Bobby's Inspirational Quote I’ve spent the greater part of my life proving that I can change my life by changing my thoughts: Never giving up as years went by with little to show for my efforts to make it in the record business, and even later, trying to eliminate blame, worry and resentment when things didn’t go my way. Quantum physics has now confirmed that “where we place our attention can actually alter physical reality!”... more next
