I was no longer a highly paid CEO in corporate America, but I had no apprehension about climbing down.\u003cbr\u003e I had plenty of money, literally millions of dollars, and figured I could easily handle my transition into an exciting, fun-filled retirement. Las Vegas was calling, and Palm Springs beckoned.\u003cbr\u003e Then, without warning, I was pounded with a series of lethal storms that made my remarkable ascent in the business world look easy.\u003cbr\u003e After college, I had been unstoppable, rapidly climbing up, a businessman riding high on a fabulous, serendipitous winning streak.\u003cbr\u003e My life was also the proverbial story of rags to riches. I had to learn how to climb out of the box of poverty and low expectations into which I was born. In my youth, I learned lessons that taught me how to cope, survive, and win in spite of vast, adversarial forces I saw and felt but never fully comprehended.\u003cbr\u003e When destructive personal losses swept through my post-retirement life, the old lessons that had taken me to the top in business were useless.\u003cbr\u003e I decided to revisit my entire life. I desperately needed to find the lessons I must have missed along the way.\u003cp\u003e It was a matter of life and death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This memoir is the record of that amazing search.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donald Preston\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1440143846\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781440143847\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/09\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.47d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/0001\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Donald Preston","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48439157883135,"sku":"9781440143847","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b15bcd2c-62aa-4922-a175-6a70ab0c2a13.jpg?v=1777175822","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/i-love-you-one-thousand-donald-preston-9781440143847","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
