Cleous G. Young’s latest book delivers a timely message of purpose, perseverance, and possibility for readers navigating an uncertain world.
There is a growing restlessness in today’s world.
People are more connected than ever, yet many feel disconnected from purpose. Information is everywhere, but clarity often feels out of reach. Across generations, individuals are searching for meaning, direction, and a reason to keep climbing when life becomes difficult.
It is within this cultural moment that author Cleous “GloWry” Young releases The Mountain of Miracles, a book that arrives not simply as a story, but as a timely message for those who refuse to give up on the possibility of transformation.
Rather than offering quick answers or temporary motivation, Young invites readers to consider a deeper question: What if the challenges standing in your way are actually preparing you for your destination?
More Than A Book, A Call To Rise
At the heart of The Mountain of Miracles is a powerful idea. Every mountain carries a purpose.
The climb may be difficult. The path may be uncertain. Yet the very obstacles people often seek to avoid may contain the lessons they need most.
Young’s message is shaped by decades of personal experience, creative expression, and community engagement. From his beginnings in St Thomas, Jamaica to his work as an author, playwright, educator, speaker, and founder of The TEB-IT Foundation, he has spent years exploring how adversity can become a catalyst for growth.
The result is a book that speaks directly to readers facing their own mountains, whether those challenges involve personal setbacks, family struggles, career obstacles, or questions about life’s deeper meaning.
One of the book’s central messages is captured in a simple yet profound quote:
“Learning has no age limit…”
In a society often obsessed with deadlines and timelines, that reminder feels especially relevant. Growth does not expire. Reinvention remains possible. New understanding can emerge at any stage of life. A perfect example of this new understanding is Young’s newly desired quest to use The Mountain of Miracles for a greater cause. The cause of Literacy! Young is collaboratively helping to spearhead the vision behind the “River Thinking Literacy Initiative.” An out-of-the-box kind of thinking that uses the “River” approach to re-define literacy in the 21st century. While it may not be a common thing to understand as of yet, do take in consideration that rivers flow from Mountains. Young is co-piloting (mentoring) a young child, Deandra Grant, towards bridging the gap between the natural flow of a river from the ascended mountain into the lives of others, which explains the slogan for River Thinking, “Where Literacy flows into life…” Proceeds from the sales of The Mountain of Miracles will be donated towards the “River Thinking Literacy Initiative,” which is also being hosted as a giveback initiative for Young within his hometown of St. Thomas, Jamaica. It is a true testament that “Learning has no age limit.” It is also a new understanding that is emerging out of this stage of life!
Why This Message Matters Now
Many books speak about success. Others focus on resilience. Few attempt to connect personal transformation with a larger vision for humanity.
That broader perspective is what distinguishes Young’s work. He calls it, “Literacy for Humanity!”
Through his organization, The TEB-IT Foundation, Young has developed educational concepts designed to help individuals and communities discover greater worth, value, and purpose. His signature framework, Aviation Thinking, draws inspiration from the principles and philosophies of the aviation industry. Thus, The TEB-IT Foundation was set up as a teaching entity (The Educo Blend in Teaching (TEB-IT)) to convey these messages safely across the world.
While airplanes transport passengers to destinations around the world, Young believes people are also on journeys of their own. The challenge is not simply reaching a destination. It is understanding how to navigate the turbulence along the way.
This unconventional perspective has attracted attention from audiences seeking fresh approaches to personal development and social challenges.
His work addressing trauma, education, literacy, and community enrichment has been highlighted in various publications, including a feature discussing his innovative approach to trauma education. Readers can learn more Here.
The Mountain As A Universal Symbol

The symbolism of a mountain is one of the reasons the book resonates with such a broad audience.
Every person faces moments that test their faith, patience, and perseverance. Every generation encounters challenges that seem impossible from a distance.
Yet history consistently shows that meaningful progress often comes through struggle rather than around it.
Young presents the mountain not as an obstacle to fear but as an invitation to flow and grow. The journey becomes less about avoiding difficulty and more about discovering who we become through the climb. Young can attest to this both personally and in reality of tasking himself to take on the challenge of climbing Blue Mountain, which is the highest mountain peak in Jamaica. A journey that gave Young a new perspective on life, not only to write about the mountain, but also to climb it in real life.
This type of perspective offers a refreshing alternative to a culture that often prioritizes convenience over character and speed over substance.
A Vision Larger Than One Book
While The Mountain of Miracles stands on its own as an inspirational work, it is also part of a larger vision.
Young’s long term initiative, known as Project 5B, seeks to impact billions of lives through literacy, education, storytelling, innovation, community engagement, collaboration and partnerships. It is an ambitious undertaking rooted in a belief that meaningful change begins when people learn to think differently about themselves and their possibilities, which is the newly designed approach for tackling illiteracy within humanity in this River Thinking Literacy Initiative approach.
His work continues to bridge literature, social advocacy, education, and personal development, creating conversations that challenge conventional assumptions and encourage new perspectives.
For Young, transformation begins with a shift in thinking. Once that shift occurs, new destinations become possible. Hence, River Thinking and Aviation Thinking; one for literacy and the other for humanity.
