What's inside

Two dozen lives, one through-line.

A mayor, a dancer, a plant breeder, a clown, a diplomat, a survivor who built a business from nothing. The book gathers them across many fields and four continents, and asks each the same three questions: where are you today, where did you start, where are you going. Their answers are sorted not by job title, but by the human truth they share.
