The Hero's Choice: Living From the Inside Out

It’s been said that in life, there are only two things we can count on for certain: death and taxes. But as anyone who has ever lost a job, suffered from a personal challenge, or kept an eye on the stock market of late can tell you, there’s likely a third certainty that can be added to that list: setbacks. Setbacks, quite frankly, happen — and they happen to everyone. So what do you do when life throws you a curveball?

Hal glanced around the table, hoping that one of his longtime colleagues would speak up on his behalf. No one said a word. Not Keith, his golfing buddy who had lauded his every move. Not Patricia, a single parent who had asked Hal to be godfather to her adopted son. Not Larry, a friend going back to high school that Hal had rescued from a dead-end job to become a partner in the firm. No one, except Charlie, even met his gaze.

Hal Stratton's life is turned upside down when, without warning, the board of directors of his own company fires him. The event sends Hal into a tailspin and he alienates everyone around him as he struggles desperately to make sense of what happened and decide how to move forward.

Eventually, the crisis awakens Hal to a new way of seeing and thinking. But old habits die hard and Hal often slips back into old ways of reacting. Gradually, as Hal opens his heart to the lessons of life, he discovers success he never thought possible. Circumstances have not changed. But life, for Hal, has changed dramatically.

The Hero's Choice is a powerful story of becoming; of handling the challenges of life in new and empowering ways; of learning to communicate openly so people can stop seeing each other as adversaries and come to a shared understanding of the challenges they face. The story will not only lift your spirit but give you practical tools for living happily, compassionately, and effectively.
