Lamar Smith along with Tammy Kling, tell a story of two executives, one a older, successful CEO, the other an up and coming investment banker. One of Al Crafton's goals in life is to invest in others and hopefully teach them what he has learned; sometimes the hard way. He's learned that life is not just about trying to achieve that Corner Office but to live a balanced life and putting what is most important ahead of the quest for getting the next 'gold star'. It's about finding a balance in all the important areas of your life, rather than being caught up in the frantic rat race of what we think success is. This would make a great gift of inspiration to a grad or the CEO of your family. no reviews | add a review

I consider myself very fortunate because I've never been a slave to the dollar. I've always known that having someone truly care about me and my well being means more than a bracelet from Tiffany's. I would rather my husband do a load of laundry than buy me a million diamonds. I want to be shown that I'm cared for by actions not wealth. This is an amazing book that I'm sure will help many people open their eyes about the life they lead and what they can do to become a happier person. (
