New book "From a Lump of Coal to a D.I.A.M.O.N.D." delivers a step-by-step Crisis to Clarity action plan built on lived experience, legal wisdom, and powerful mindset shifts.
CHICAGO, IL, January 06, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In a world where personal and professional crises are a universal experience, author and legal professional Tim Mahoney is equipping readers with something more than inspiration — he's giving them a true system.
His debut book, From a Lump of Coal to a D.I.A.M.O.N.D., is a transformational map designed to walk people out of the dark corners of crisis and into the brilliance of personal reinvention.
"We're all either going into a crisis, living through one, or coming out of one," says Mahoney. "But no one teaches us how to handle it — emotionally, mentally, or practically."
Rooted in Mahoney's own life story and years of professional insight, the book presents the D.I.A.M.O.N.D. Blueprint — a structured, seven-phase process for moving through adversity with purpose and power:
D – Denial
I – Interpretation
A – Acceptance
M – Momentum
O – Others
N – Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
D – Diet
Each step is presented with practical tools, engaging stories, and a touch of humor — making the emotional journey more human, more manageable, and more hopeful.
Mahoney pulls no punches. He acknowledges that transformation isn't easy, but insists that it is possible for anyone, no matter the level of crisis they're facing. From financial breakdowns and career loss to illness and emotional trauma, his method meets readers where they are and gives them a path forward.
"It's going to suck," Mahoney writes with characteristic candor. "But you don't have a choice except to go through it. So why not go through it with intention — and come out stronger on the other side?"
What makes From a Lump of Coal to a D.I.A.M.O.N.D. standout isn't just its structure, but its accessibility and voice. Mahoney doesn't speak from theory — he's lived every chapter. His tone is both practical and personable, with insights that cut through the noise and resonate on a human level.
"We spend too much time ignoring the elephant juggling peanuts in the corner," he jokes. "Instead of pretending it's not there, this book shows you how to walk over, look it in the eye, and deal with it."
Beyond personal development, the book offers a reframe of what crisis truly is: not a breakdown, but a breakthrough waiting to happen.
Readers are guided to see problems not as roadblocks, but as gifts — often messy, unwanted, and uncomfortable — but full of potential to shape something stronger.
Whether readers are leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, or everyday individuals navigating hard seasons, Mahoney's message is the same: You have the power to turn pressure into purpose — and pressure, when harnessed, creates diamonds.
