The Keys to Success on the Road Less Traveled,

What is success?

Our society usually associates the accumulation of financial wealth with being successful. Our culture is replete with biased expressions glorifying wealth.

“She really made something of herself?”

“He has the Midas touch.”

“I feel like a million bucks!”

Yet, being successful in life in more than money. One definition of the word ‘successful’ is ‘fruitful.’ To me, that broadens the meaning to give us a fuller perspective. It changes the color of the word from black and white to technicolor.”

In The Keys to Success on the Road Less Traveled, the authors illustrate the different shades and colors of the word ‘success.’ We view success as:  realigning one’s life following the death of a loved one; channeling the energy of rejection into writing comic books; recognizing the daunting sacrifices of one’s mother; finding inspiration in working with disadvantaged youth; recognizing the trials of being teacher; celebrating the nobility of ‘man’s best friend;’ capturing the essence of life through the lens of poetry; overcoming the past and finding ways to love yourself; among many other intriguing ways.

The title of this book, The Keys to Success on the Road Less Traveled, refers to the subtle insight that we glean from reflecting on the experiences of life, and embracing the nuances of meaning that life presents to us.
