Freedom Personal Development — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 11:00:04 +0000

I have never been a fan of personal development books that wrap key lessons into a cutesy fictional story, but I absolutely LOVED The Traveler’s Gift by Andy Andrews! I literally couldn’t book the book down and had to review it on the blog.

It is a story about a man, David Ponder, who is down on his luck. He has lost his job due to a corporate takeover, is behind on his mortgage, and is fired from his Read More...
