Book Description

September 18, 2008
In The Values Pursued Life, author Gary Gordon examines life and how to live it. A superb and powerfully moving modern allegory, this self-empowerment guide strikes a bold personal initiative that is as inspiring as it is wise. With a well-measured map to find greatness within one’s own person, the author points the way to excellence with an otherworldly charm. This incredibly original adult business and life fable engages readers to make bold self-realizations. The author introduces a charming teacher who is known only by Shabaroo. Shabaroo learns a few tough lessons as he learns how to live a value-pursued life and strives for excellence. He learns the value of having a process—organic and steadfast—at every turn. From conception to end product, a business must make every effort to guarantee quality in products and services to ensure customer satisfaction, which is really the key to pretty much everything.

More About the Author

Gary Gordon was born in the beautiful and sunny Island of Jamaica. He grew up in the blue hills where the trees stood tall, looking over into the valley where the long grass blows. Gary's favorite saying is: One day I shall go back to the blue hills where the gentle rays of the sun blitzes the trees like snow flakes falling on Aspen leaves in mid December. Like water cascading off a water fall in the heights of summer, I shall go back, if only just to minister to my people.

Gordon is a voracious reader and an avid book collector. Spurred on by the need to expand his understanding, he has read over 800 books, and has collected over 2000 rare books.

Gordon is married, has three kids and lives in Boca Raton, Florida
