Product Description
This modern morality tale by gifted writer and speaker Andy Andrews teaches seven fundamental strategies for creating a successful life. Much like the best-selling books by Og Mandino, this unique narrative is a blend of entertaining fiction, allegory, and inspiration. Storyteller Andy Andrews gives a front-row seat for one man's journey of a lifetime. David Ponder has lost his job and the will to live. When he is supernaturally selected to travel through time, he visits historical figures such as Abraham Lincoln, King Solomon, and Anne Frank. Each visit yields a Decision for Success that will one day impact the entire world.

 Quick read, motivational, exceptional! December 26, 2008
Highly recommend reading this book and having an audio of it is really the way to go! Especially if you are planning a new years resolution or if you need to make some changes in your life. The Traveler's Gift will help put some perspective in your life or help you re-arrange your priorities! Highly recommend that you read Andy's follow-up book or audio version of "Mastering the 7 Decisions" after listening to this!

The Traveler's Gift: Seven Decisions that Determine Personal SuccessSeven Suggestions for writing meaningful books:
1) Be original: It's a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Carol did it better. Andy Anderson is no Frank Capa or Charles Dickens.
2) Make characters that are real, not cardboard.
3) Get your facts straight. Christopher Columbus (Colombo) was an Italian who lived in Portugal and in Spain and probably did speak all three languages, but why would he speak Portuguese to an American on a Spanish ship? And why would Columbus claim to have special insight about the world being round when it was a pretty commonly accepted by the Renaissance? Fact checking is so easy with lots of good sites online.
4) Don't underestimate your audience.
5) Pick a genre, any genre. It is not good science fiction when there are too many logical fallacies. For example, the hero is wearing jeans into which he manages to stuff a scroll from Solomon, a leather pouch, various notes and pieces of paper. Fantasy? Then let's magically shrink these items. Inspirational? Not particularly, especially not this writing style.
6) Life is unpredictible. The ending of any book should not be this predictible.
7) Don't be preachy. The Ten Commandments pretty much covered the whole thing already, succinctly, without being preachy. Find a new franchise.
