In "The Chair," a wealthy entrepreneur reveals his recipe for the good life which happens to consist of four "legs" or life orientations. "The Chair" was chosen as the central metaphor because it is solid, dependable, simple, just as this formula for living well is. The manuscript, around 25,000 words as told to me, is complete and ready for review.
Note: the author, who insists on anonymity, has committed to a five-figure book publicity and marketing blitz to support the book upon publication. These are ideas he strongly believes in and this publicity commitment is just one of the ways we will get out word about "The Chair." A website and blog are already in planning stages.
