Publisher's Summary

Peaks and Valleys is a story of a young man who lives unhappily in a valley until he meets an old man who lives on a peak, and it changes his work and life forever.

Initially, the young man does not realize he is talking with one of the most peaceful and successful people in the world. However, through a series of conversations and experiences that occur up on peaks and down in valleys, the young man comes to make some startling discoveries.

Eventually, he comes to understand how he can use the old man's remarkable principles and practical tools in good and bad times and becomes more calm and successful himself.

Now you can take a similar journey through the story and use what you find to your advantage in your own work and life.

Everyone should give this a listen.

This is a great fable with lots for everybody. A great reminder how to get through the valleys of life.

The afterward interview with the author is a nice bonus.

My Favourite

Celebrate accomplishments while staying grounded. Realize days will come that are not as great. Be ok with the ups and downs and recover quickly as your next peak is around the corner. Enjoy the ride of life :)
