Ever since the story of his transformation from homeless, single and struggling father to millionaire became known the world over, Chris Gardner - whose life story both inspired the movie "The Pursuit of Happyness" and became a number 1 "New York Times" Bestseller by the same name - has been inundated with two questions: 'How Did You Do It' and 'How Can I Do it Too?' Gardner's power-packed, transformational reply is the basis of this long-anticipated book. As a departure from standard self-help tomes that promise overnight riches and exclusive secrets for success, Gardner avoids any tilt toward magical thinking by staying with real issues and solutions impacting individuals in all walks of life. Taking stock of his own credos, including 'The Cavalry Ain't Coming', 'Find Your Button', and 'Seek the Furthest Star' - Gardner's 44 life lessons are earthy, soulful, and always accessible. With an array of stories from the author's own life, as well as from those he has known or admired, both famous and not.


From the Compact Disc edition.

      Mirron Willis's strong voice and thoughtful phrasing are wonderful vehicles for unfolding this back-to-basics guide to living one's best life. His calm reading and connection with Chris Gardner's story are sure to promote listening with an open heart. With the author's recovery from homelessness never far from view, this work is an inspiring invitation to engage with life's possibilities, even when events work against us and no help is in sight. The message stays close to two themes--being honest about ourselves and our present circumstances, and using all the formal and informal learning experiences we can to move our lives forward. Gardner's focus on personal growth has a spiritual component, reflected in Willis's delivery, that will move listeners in any challenging circumstance. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
