Chris Gardner Speaks…

May 1, 2009

Last month, I wrote about Chris Gardner’s amazing follow up to his New York Times bestseller, The Pursuit of Happyness. Start Where You Are: Life Lessons in the Pursuit of Happyness, on sale in May of 2009 gives over forty lessons on how to not only make your dreams reality, but help you navigate on this crazy road we call “life”. After each lesson there are “assignments” or exercises that you can do to fully understand that lesson and make it a part of your life. Check out Chris Gardner’s video where he talks about the motivation behind Start Where You Are and how you can gain that needed push to start your life anew. Enjoy!
