FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE / New York, NY – January 5, 2026 / FREDDY ZALTA RE-RELEASES *OWNED NO MORE: LIFE OF A SALESMAN*

Author Freddy Zalta has re-released the candid and introspective book, *Owned No More: Life of a Salesman*, confronting the hidden realities of a career built on quotas, pressure, and performance. Far from a traditional sales guide, the book offers a deeply personal examination of what happens when ambition slowly turns into obligation—and freedom feels perpetually out of reach.

Drawing from real-life experience, Zalta takes readers behind the scenes of a profession often glamorized for its earning potential and fast-paced wins. He captures the thrill of closing deals and hitting **numbers**.

However, he also exposes the quieter cost: burnout, identity erosion, and the feeling of being owned by the daily **grind**.

In *Owned No More*, success is not measured by commissions alone, but by what is sacrificed along the way.

The book traces a journey familiar to many in high-pressure careers—long hours, relentless expectations, and a growing sense that life is dictated by metrics rather than meaning. Zalta writes with honesty and clarity, acknowledging the pride that comes with achievement while questioning the systems that equate worth with output. His reflections challenge the idea that constant hustle is the same as fulfillment.

Rather than offering formulas or quick fixes, *Owned No More* invites readers into moments of reckoning and clarity. Zalta explores how easily identity becomes tangled with job titles and numbers, and how reclaiming purpose often requires stepping back and asking uncomfortable questions:

  * What does success actually look like?
  * Who benefits from the grind?
  * And at what point does ambition stop serving us?

The book resonates beyond the sales profession, speaking to anyone who has felt trapped by expectations, routines, or definitions of success imposed by others. Whether navigating sales, corporate environments, or entrepreneurial pressure, readers will recognize the tension between financial achievement and personal freedom that Zalta articulates so clearly.

As his third published book, Zalta brings a seasoned storytelling voice shaped by years of writing and reflection, including his novels and four commissioned biographies for private distribution. This depth and narrative discipline is evident in *Owned No More*, which balances vulnerability with insight and avoids both hype and self-help clichés.
