The Magic Lantern

Renowned personal development trainer, coach and veteran author, Dr. Joe Rubino tells the story of a group of dwarves and their young leader who go off in search of the secrets to a life that works, a life filled with harmony and endless possibilities and void of the regrets and upsets that characterize most people's existence. With a mission to restore peace and harmony to their village in turmoil, the characters overcome the many challenges they encounter along their noble journey. Through self-discovery, they develop the distinctions necessary to be the best that they can be as they step into leadership and lives of contribution to others.

The Magic Lantern teaches us such noble lessons as the power of forgiveness, the meaning of responsibility and commitment, what leadership is really all about, the magic of belief and positive expectation, the value of listening as an art, the secret to mastering one's emotions and actions and much more. It combines the spell-binding story telling reminiscent of Tolkien's The Hobbit with the personal development tools of the great masters.
