Take Off Your Shoes

Take Off Your Shoes invites the reader on a journey of self-(re)discovery. A hard-charging, successful, financial wheeler-dealer, and corporate CEO, the author discovers at the pinnacle of his career that he may be losing the very things that drive him to be top dog in business. He risks his career to find personal fulfillment and rebuild family relationships before he loses them forever. Together, he and his wife and children set off on a sabbatical year around the world, a year that transforms them all. The writing is brutally honest, baring his innermost struggles, questions, and fears, in the face of which the reader is defenseless to resist joining the author on his quest. As the author navigates the ups and downs of his sabbatical year, the reader is challenged to examine what gives meaning to life, what is of utmost importance, and how to make the most of our fleeting span of existence.
