Wayne Dyer once said, Above all things, never leave this earth without singing your song. Author David Okerlund has learned a lot of precious verses in his seventy-three years of living, and Gathering Pebbles: Learning How to Make Your Own Chicken Soup offers some of the best for readers who are trying to live life better. Based on lessons Okerlund imparted in his communication and leadership classes at Oxford University, Cornell University, and many other places, Gathering Pebbles is a perspective on how internal greatness is the foundation for achieving external eminence. A blend of personal stories of struggle and achievement and the lessons they reflect along with poetic verses and collected quotes, this road map guides readers as they enrich their lives.
