Life is short. For Andersen, a retired navy pilot who has visited forty-five countries in his career, experienced many cultures, and spent significant time as a hospice volunteer witnessing many end-of-life testimonies and scenes, this truth cannot be underscored enough. Throughout his own life he has been a seeker, searching to learn more and understand the greater purpose of being. At the time he didn't know it was to create something that could help others-and that is the beauty of life. Experience it, and it shall show you the way. Passing the life-changing lesson he has learned to others, improving their lives and, in turn, bettering this world we call home, Andersen has compiled his second volume of wisdom gained and opportunities lost. Each chapter consists of short, easy to read stories and brief interactive checklists to help you organize your thoughts to help you better put each lesson into practice. Including such chapters as "When bad things happen," "Going with the flow," "Contentment," "Little things mean a lot," and "Be who you are" Andersen weaves lessons about kindness, caring, relationships, love, and a sense of the bigger picture.
