We tend to live our lives one day at a time without an overall strategy for how best to do so. Many of us live without a clear insight into how our choices define who we are and ultimately what we achieve.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e To bring this subject into greater focus . . . \u003cem\u003eLiving by Choice\u003c\/em\u003e was written to motivate individuals, younger ones and older ones, to stop and consider the choices they are making in their lives. You will not find \"the answers\" here, and that was never the intention of the book. The ultimate answers about your life can only come from you. However, the book is intended to stimulate your thinking. Its basic objective is to help you think about your life and motivate you to make any choices needed to adjust the way you are living yours.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e To accomplish this, the book contains fourteen (14) sections including Managing Your Life, Being an Honest Person, and Creating a Caring You. Within these fourteen sections, the book addresses eighty-two (82) important choices that most of us face in life including The Choice to Be an Independent Thinker, The Choice to Let Love Guide Your Life, and The Choice to Respect Our Differences to name a few.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Each choice topic provides a brief \"thinking experience\" . . . requiring only a few minutes to read but providing thoughts and perspectives the reader may want to ponder much longer. For those who want to make personal notes for later reference, space is provided at the end of each section.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e We are indeed \"who we choose to be\" and Living by Choice serves as an important reminder of this fact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael L.

The book is his effort to document some of the important things he has learned and observations he has made and pass them along to others who might benefit from them as well. Michael and his wife Betty were high school sweethearts and are graduates of the University of Mississippi. They have two grown children, both with MBAs and very successful in their own right, and three wonderful grandchildren. They are active members of Idlewild Presbyterian Church in Memphis, TN. Michael started his business career with IBM. He went on from there to become a partner in a technology equipment leasing organization, and was President of a large technology consulting firm in Chicago. In addition, he served on the board of a Mid-south banking organization for almost ten years. After selling his business interest in Chicago, Michael and Betty returned to Memphis and, shortly after, he wrote his first book, Good Choices Good Life. He then started a small educational nonprofit, which promotes good choice-making through topics on its website, www.GoodChoicesGoodLife.org.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Good Choice Publications LLC","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40581962399859,"sku":"9.781E+12","price":22.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_5a7c4429-5744-4d7e-818e-3f846c42f296.jpg?v=1668608877","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/living-by-choice-making-the-decisions-that-define-your-life-9780999658901","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
