Winner's Way

Welcome. I’m glad your clicks brought you here.

Winner’s Way is a life-enhancing novel. It was awarded a Hewlett Foundation grant for combining a powerful story with practical ideas about relationships, career achievement, happiness, and success. The events in the story are linked to references that provide information, resources, and suggestions that can be used in daily life.

The story centers around a college student, Mark, who is caught between family obligations and having an enjoyable life. In college, he has trouble with his courses, family, and health. When he is close to giving up, he seeks help from a wise and engaging gardener, Sensei. During adventures with Sensei, he discovers a way to skillful living.

Winner’s Way is an inspiring tale of life situations that readers can easily relate to. Although the story happens to be fictional, readers can take away many lessons and apply them to their own lives.

The hero, Mark, is everyman for all of us. His struggles typify what is true for so many of us – the groping for something exciting, inspiring, and meaningful. Mark’s teacher, Sensei, is the kind of teacher we all wish we had. Winner’s Way is a rare and wonderful treat for anyone in search of richer self-understanding, compassion, and substance.

Winner’s Way creates a new category of fiction where magical realism meets do-it-yourself. The ideas in this story and the author’s notes are wildly creative and yet as practical and useful as you are likely to find in any non-fiction book.

This story about courage and discovery is a guide to life's hidden opportunities.
