The Pursuit: Wisdom for the Adventure of Your Life - Hardcover

Everyone wants to pursue a life of meaning, a life that matters—a life of authentic success and lasting satisfaction. But what’s the secret to living the life you’ve always dreamed of? In this personal, relevant and engaging book of wisdom, Pat Williams shares six powerful, practical insights that aren't taught in schook, but are essential in the pursuit of a successful and rewarding life. Packed with page-turning stories,The Pursuit illustrates the life-changing concepts Pat learned from his mentor, R.E. Littlejohn, long-time co-owner of a minor league baseball club and Pat's former boss. These six principles are at the heart of this captivating quick-start manual for anyone who wants to hit the ground running and take on the world. They are: control what you can (and let go of everything else); be patient; keep it simple; pay your dues (because experience matters); pay attention to the little things; and don't run from problems.
