Carlos Wallace


Author. Organizer. Youth Advocate



Everyone has a breaking point.



Carlos has written two books that have earned the businessman turned social activist national acclaim. “Life Is Not Complicated, You Are: Turning Your Biggest Disappointments into Your Greatest Blessings” is currently an integral part of the Psychology curriculum at Lone Star College in Houston, Texas. His second work, “The Other 99 T.Y.M.E.S: Train Your Mind to Enjoy Serenity” is the inspiration behind an award-winning television program of the same name. Both books are hailed as guides to living with purpose and gratitude. Professors and victim’s advocates use the books as examples in overcoming adversity to achieve personal and professional success.





“My favorite project was The Other 99 T.Y.M.E.S assignment. This is because I was reading the book initially just for the project, but I got into it and wanted to continue to read it. It taught me different life concepts that I can take away from it."



“My favorite assignment was The Other 99 T.Y.M.E.S assignment. I took a lesson from the chapter I reviewed that I could carry and apply to my life for improvement. Chapter 4 in his book introduced me to a new way of taking advantage of every opportunity."



“The Other 99 T.Y.M.E.S was by far the best assignment I have done while being in school, it helped me think and look at certain things differently and gave me the knowledge to know that I am like everyone else, and go through certain obstacles in my life, because at the end of it were human. But with the power of The Other 99 T.Y.M.E.S, I know that I am on track to success just like everyone else."



“To further connect, my favorite assignment this semester was “The Other 99 T.Y.M.E.S” because I really enjoyed the book. It made me put a lot of things in perspective and I am so glad that I was introduced to it."



“Mr. Wallace’s book gives you extremely great insight of why you should strive to be the best you can be no matter the obstacle."



“Mr. Wallace gives real world examples that anyone can take in some kind of wat to relate to."



“Mr. Wallace gives life lessons and motivation to those who need to see things from a different perspective. "



“Mr. Wallace teaches and encourages us to take full control of our own life. There are a lot of inspiring quotes in the book that are offered to soak in."



“I can simply say this is a book you can go back to if you are needing to find answers to the questions, you ask yourself or if you need to be motivated."



“I was impressed on how I can get so much information, how it opens my eyes through a different perspective, and how resonates my life was in one book."



“There is also a quote in the adversity chapter that I think a lot of people should read."



“Mr. Wallace used his own life experience to educate and motivate others into becoming a better person of themselves."



“I enjoyed the book because it felt more like a motivational seminar than a regular autobiography."



“The most profound part of the audio book was Wallace’s candidness about learning about and trying to understand his friend’s clinical depression. He was correct in saying that other’s often mistake depression as a minor, easily surmountable ordeal, when in reality it can be so paralyzing and make life feel futile. "



Mr. Wallace (the author) has a way of simplifying life. He is definitely a motivator, but like none you have heard before. He directs you to look to your past in order to free your future. His advice helps you to help yourself.”



“Motivation should come from within rather than seeking everyone else’s approval. Learning to love and motivate yourself is essential since you can’t love anyone else until you love yourself. Carlos Wallace helps you understand these things by providing a reality check to everyone. "



“This book gives in depth insight on how to overcome the problem that several individuals have which is viewing life as complicated and adding to the complication by ones thinking. Wallace shows us ways to overcome negative thinking and how to overcome having a victim mentality. "



"My favorite assignment was The Other 99 TYMES, because the reading was such that I could apply to my personal life and allowed me to look at myself and ask different questions."



“His book aims to encourage people. With the relax music and his warm voice, the scene is more lively. He brings people to rhythms of emotion. After I heard this book, I feel I love this life."



"A round of applause for Carlos Wallace’s amazing novel about his life and others. Wallace described many challenges and adversities that he faced during his lifetime. This was definitely a novel that I did not want to put down and ended up finishing it very fast!"



"Carlos does a really good job of bringing about issues that we encounter throughout life. His perspective is a lot different than mine and that was very motivating."





Carlos is often called upon to speak at middle schools, high schools and colleges in Texas, New York, Atlanta, and Florida. He recently developed and moderates a proprietary mentorship and leadership program for New York City’s York College (Part of City University of New York public university system) entitled “The Life Is Not Complicated, You Are: Transfer of Power” speaking series.



Thanks to his decades-long career as a fifth-generation railroader and his experience as a graduate of the National Labor College, Carlos is an expert in labor relations, mediation and contract negotiations. An alum of Union Pacific’s elite Brakeman/Conductor and Engineer schools, he is often called upon as a consultant during high profile hearings involving railroad employees facing disciplinary action. The International Organizer, one of few African Americans to hold that position, also helped run several political campaigns including those of Democratic Presidential candidate Barack H. Obama.


A luminary among his peers, Carlos was tapped to be part of Google’s exclusive “Next Gen” think tank. He joins a group of policy leaders at the forefront of technology and racial justice, and who have distinguished themselves in business, public service, content creation, education, and activism.
