What a Tale My Thoughts Will Tell - John Edwards

. .

Résumé :
Life often evolves differently than we had hoped or expected. Some of life's transitions lead to a love we have only dreamed of, but others can traumatize and overwhelm us completely. As a result, we feel discouraged and disenchanted as we quietly start to wonder about the meaning of life. John Edwards understands this deeply as he takes us on an elegant, insightful, and profound journey of his personal experiences that are a jumping-off point for discussing how cultural, psychological, and sociological influences determine the nature of our happiness and disappointments. John invites us into his incredible odyssey of life events with humor, vulnerability, and courage. In his story, he explores the challenges of navigating through the joy of falling in love, providing for his family, and the painful disruptions of infidelity, divorce, and estrangement with passion and empathy. A unique and beautifully written book that interweaves the theme of musical songs and lyrics as a timeline and vehicle of emotional expression that mere written words could not suffice. John writes, Music binds us in a way that language rarely does. Music is the window to the soul. With the authority and wisdom that come with seventy years of human existence, John Edwards provides a compassionate and compelling story relatable to almost every human emotion we feel. It is a story of where John came from, what hopes and dreams he fought for, and what single dynamic is most important regarding the true meaning of life. It's the story of his life. This book should be read as it is extraordinary and unforgettable. It will bring forth lessons and memories of your encounters that will forever be carved into your hearts....

Biographie:
Since my younger years, I have always been passionate about nature. As a kid, I used to spend hours and hours in my grandma's garden playing with her two dogs, Jimmy and Heart. I remember myself waiting until the end of each school year so that I can spend the entire summer living with my grandparents about 40 miles away from my home town. It's such a pleasure to remember these things... As I grew older and started thinking more about my future, I decided not to get too much away from the things I used to love and chose a profession that would be as close to my heart as possible. At about 25 years old, I graduated as a public health and agriculture specialist at San Jose State University in California. And Yes, I did study two specialties at the same time, and even though it was hard, looking back, I still think that it was a very good decision. I used the knowledge from both of these fields and went through life doing what I love the most- helping people and taking care of their health, as an independent nutrition expert, and using my horticulturist knowledge to build my own dream garden where now I can spend all the fascinating summers and enjoy my free time. But don't get me wrong, the fire inside me is still there at 56... Just recently, I found my new passion for writing and publishing - sharing my years of knowledge and experience with others. And hopefully reaching thousands, maybe even millions of people who have the desire to live healthy, happy, and wild life. And teach them how to live an active lifestyle and get all the joy and happiness you truly want. I hope you are going to learn a lot about my content, and it will inspire you to change and make your life better!...
