<p>This book is a broad overview of the most important lessons and wisdom gleaned by the two authors during lifetimes of growing up, from childhood to adolescence, adulthood, and beyond, through good times and bad, successes and failures, pride and remorse. Born and bred in different circumstances, chasing different dreams and facing different challenges, they have lived to tell their stories with universal messages and morals that resonate with us all. The lessons paint a broad swath of life, including individual, relationship, and career advice based on personal experiences&mdash; a general do&rsquo;s and don&rsquo;t&rsquo;s from those who have been there and hopefully gained something from the bumps and bruises along the way. We&rsquo;re all the same beneath the surface, and their stories are likely not so different from your own.</p><p><br />
The door is wide open&mdash; step inside and take a look around. You will recognize more than you expect.</p>
