Friday is Book Day on the blog, when we take a look at books – old and new — that I highly recommend you not miss. This week’s recommended reading: Five Wishes
This week I want to draw your attention to the latest book from Gay Hendricks, titled Five Wishes. But first, let me tell you how this book came into being.
It’s my fault.
Well, partly, anyway. Gay and I — who are friends through our association on a number of projects — were sitting in the dining room of a cruise ship together last year when he rolled out an experience he had in his life which he said impacted him tremendously. When he was done talking I said to him, “My God, Gay, that’s a book!”
He looked at me interestedly for just a moment, then said that was exactly what he was going to do with it! Now comes this tidy little volume, which you can read in 60 minutes or less, but which can have just as much of an impact on you.
The book description at Amazon.com says:

You never know when it is going to happen — when you will experience a moment that dramatically transforms your life. When you look back, often years later, you may see how a brief conversation or an insight you read in a book changed the entire course of your life.
Gay Hendricks had an extraordinary, life-altering experience during a conversation at a party. The gift he received in that meeting became his touchstone for creating the life of his dreams. Now, in this wonderful gem of a book, he passes on to all of us the pivotal insight he gained in that magic moment.
Could reading this book be one of those life-changing moments for you?

Stranger things have happened. I know that you will enjoy this little wonder from Gay Hendricks, and I recommend it to your reading.
