In response to overwhelming requests from readers who wanted to know how they, too, could weather downturns, he has distilled his lessons into fifteen meaningful lessons, including: \r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n·Leap...With Faith: Sometimes it pays to leap without looking and say yes without thinking (Gill accepted the Starbucks job immediately, on a whim). \r\n\r\n·Let Yourself...Be Helped: Pride is even more paralyzing than fear. \r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n·Look...with Respect at Every Individual You See: Gill was raised to avoid eye contact with those who were different, cloistered in a privileged world. Now he realizes the potential in all who cross his daily path. \r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n·Lose...Your Watch (and Cell Phone and PDA!): Our obsession with productivity produces madness, not gladness. \r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nOffering living proof that extraordinary happiness is found in ordinary moments, How to Save Your Own Life provides empowering words and hope for anyone facing a reversal of fortune. True fortune, Gill discovered, lies not in fate but in discovering the innate capacity we all possess to rescue ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Connies Bookshelf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42955577753816,"sku":"9781592405213","price":3.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/9099\/4904\/products\/HowToSaveYourOwnLife.jpg?v=1655015669","url":"https:\/\/conniesbookshelf.com\/products\/how-to-save-your-own-life","provider":"Connies Bookshelf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
