Vancouver, B.C., November 2, 2011 – Aboriginal author Calvin Helin’s book The Economic Dependency Trap was recently recognized as a finalist in the highly competitive, Best Books 2011 Award in the US.

The Economic Dependency Trap was recognized in the “Self-Help: General” category.  The 8th annual USA “Best Books” awards honors outstanding mainstream and independent books. Finalists and winners have the right to highlight their awards on their book cover, website, and marketing material.   While the real purpose of Helin’s work is to help those people facing adversity to help themselves, he notes, “It is still nice to be recognized for something that most people toil away at never expecting such acknowledgement.” He also commented that although, “The Economic Dependency Trap was the result of my original writing, the contributions and fine work of the principal Canadian editor Peter C. Newman, American editor Ellen Kleiner, artist Bill Helin, graphic artist Angela Werneke, New York literary agent Joseph Veltre and advisor Italia Gandolfo also need to recognized.”  What makes this recognition even more remarkable is that it is the first time any of Helin’s books have ever been entered into a book awards contest.

To be recognized at such a high level in the largest book market in the world is extraordinary.  Helin continues forward with the message of self-reliance and self-responsibility set out in The Economic Dependency Trap with speaking engagements for Social Workers at a conference in Edmonton on November 9, 2011 and to social service recipients from the Walpole First Nation in southern Ontario on November 17, 2011.

Important Speech by Author

Why today is there such pervasive purposelessness? Is there a common sense path back to a more balanced existence? This evening examines the direction ancient First Nations’ wisdom and current experience can bring to the modern world. Calvin discusses how concepts of self-reliance, self responsibility and self-actualization, invoked by Emerson and echoed in the beautiful speeches of great Native American leaders such as Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse, can provide direction for a society that has lost its way.
