The Traveler’s Gift is a fascinating combination of self-development principles and captivating fiction. How great is it to be able to learn wisdom from King Solomon and forgiveness from Abraham Lincoln? The author takes us on not only a historical journey but also one of self-discovery.
Do you enjoy reading about self-development, history, time travel and/or a just want to escape into a good book? The Traveler’s Gift; The Seven Decisions That Determine Personal Success by Andy Andrews has all that and more. There are great lessons for personal success, insights into significant historical events and a look into what it may have been like talking with inspirational figures. All this is blended with a well written “I can’t put this book down” story.
I found this book by accident and was very pleasantly surprised. I literally couldn’t stop reading. The Traveler’s Gift is a unique twist on the usual self-development lessons. The seven lessons of personal success became vivid and “real” in my imagination. Stories are a perfect way to learn how to apply abstract concepts to real life. I found myself saying, “You know he’s right, I really should do that / be conscious of that more often.”The central character, David Ponder was at a personal and professional crossroads in his life. An auto accident takes him back in time to converse with the likes of Christopher Columbus, Anne Frank and Harry Truman. Each inspirational historical figure has a life lesson to impart and success advice to share. It’s a history lesson and self-discovery journey all rolled into one. When David awakes from the accident the world is changed and life has more purpose and greater meaning. The basics: When the going gets tough, the tough get going. David Ponder is just like all of us – searching to live a fulfilled and meaningful life.
I was fascinated by this inspiring story. It wasn’t preachy – it was entertaining. I’ve never read any quite like this, a self-development book that teaches so much more. I was literally transported back in history each time I read about one of the seven personal decisions. It was evident that the author did his history homework and historical research.
There is an overtone of Christianity and mention of God. If you are a fan of Og Mandino, as I am, you’ll enjoy this book. It is written with an Og Mandino flavor.
I read the paperback book although I understand the audio is exceptional. Andy Andrew’s newest book is Mastering The Seven Decisions.
Five stars from me – highly recommended. Sit back, relax and prepare to learn more about yourself with a little history thrown in for good measure. If I’m gushing I apologize but I really enjoyed The Traveler’s Gift!
