About The Book.
Many people know Todd Stottlemyre as an American former professional baseball player, most notably as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays. However, Todd Stottlemyre is also an author with a highly personal, transformative story to tell through his new book, The Observer.
The Observer, far from being a fiction novel, is the fable of Todd Stottlemyre’s life. He rose to superstardom winning two World Series with the Toronto Blue Jays but had yet to reach his true “peak” until the journey that began afterward.
Kat has it all (money, success, recognition, influence) except the one thing she desires desperately: a fulfilled life. A business entrepreneur in the high-end sportswear industry, Kat is driven in relentless pursuit of ever-greater success. The two anchors in Kat’s frenzied life have been her father; a famous baseball pitcher turned team manager, and her son, who is following in his grandfather’s footsteps. When both anchors become unstable, Kat’s life tips dangerously out of balance. The market and her finances flip, and relationships start slipping through her fingers. Eager for solutions, she turns to find uncanny wisdom from places she never expected.
The Observer unpacks the idea of 180-degree thinking, which changes everything for Kat. Now, seemingly impossible goals now come into focus with crystal clear clarity. As Kat focuses on the right things, the impossible becomes her new reality.

Why You Need This Book.
Breaking the boundaries of genre, The Observer is a motivational self-improvement book disguised as a ‘coming of (middle) age’ novel, wrapped in a sports story, that (underneath it all) is actually a fable about Pro Baseball Star Todd Stottlemyre’s life. Although it is presented as a fictional story about a 38-year-old woman and her journey to self-discovery, the book serves as a fundamental road map to success.
Imparted with truth and wisdom, The Observer is a classic for discovering the peak performer within yourself. Through the story of “Kat”, Stottlemyre demonstrates how lofty ambitions are achievable when you follow the sequential steps in his proven success system. The book not only gives readers motivation and encouragement, but it also provides them with a pathway for discovering their peak potential both professionally and personally.
With sharp wit, plot twists, and a fast pace, this book will inevitably become a mirror to take a look inside ourselves―and find that no matter how long it takes, we all have the ability to change our trajectory.
In the age of COVID, political unrest, and global chaos – a time when uncertainty lurks around every corner – these timeless insights are more important today than ever before.
Whether you are seeking personal fulfillment or professional growth and looking for strategies to achieve excellence, or if you just want to curl up with a poignant novel (OR if you a sports fan itching to learn more about this MLB superstar) The Observer is an absolute must-read.

“In The Observer, Todd’s concept of the 180-degree mindset aligns with my theory of every ‘coin’ having three sides — two sides and the edge. The more we see and learn and the more possibilities we explore, the smart and more powerful we become. Todd’s new book is, indeed, wisdom for the journey of life.”
– Robert Kiyosaki (Author of The International Bestseller Rich Dad Poor Dad)
