Michael Jay Anthony, Ph.D.

Update June 2014: I am very sorry to report that Michael Anthony departed this earthly life on June 8, 2014.  He fought a valiant and courageous fight against a number of heath issues, supported by loving family and friends for more than 6 years after the doctors gave him no hope of living more than a few days.  He will be deeply missed by all who loved him and benefited from his presence in their lives.  More about his miraculous life is covered in the Story Behind the Book.

Bio from Michael's book Income Without a Job with co-author Barbara Taylor: 

Michael Anthony is well known for his Organizational Development work, his unique corporate training techniques and inspiring public speaking.

Michael has had a wide variety of full and part time jobs and careers, which included serving as an Army soldier in Vietnam, to law enforcement officer, to Radio Host in Los Angeles to Advertising Agency Executive then Voice-Over recording artist to Seminar Leader, Author, Business Coach and Organizational Development Consultant.  Many of these career experiences he held simultaneously.

After training employees and managers for some of the nation's top companies, Michael teamed up with Barbara Taylor in 1984. Together, they continued the work that each had been passionate about alone.

As a public speaker and trainer, Michael has always received great reviews from workshop attendees.  His personal style seems relaxed and fun, yet his presentations are filled with powerful teaching to help people manage their lives in ways that are more productive.

Michael has one of those smooth "radio voices" that we hear and wonder, "who is that?"  When Michael talks, people naturally stop and listen to what he has to say.  [Click on Michael's photo to listen to his voice.]

As an author and Chairman of Ten to One Inc., Michael has tried to share what he has learned through a number of books, articles and training programs.

Through it all, Michael has dedicated his life to teaching others how to live better lives.

As mentioned in this book, he has tried many different ways to make money; many of them have been unsuccessful.  Those failures taught him much more than his successes.

Michael is also the author of the Handbook of Small Business Advertising, Spin and Promote Your Way to the Top and Riches in Radio (out of print) as well as numerous corporate training programs and published articles.
