I’ve been in this life for fifty years, been trying to work out its riddle for forty-two, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last thirty-five. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair. How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less. How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life. How to be more me. Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries.

Story4 out of 5 stars 70
In The Road, Jack London embraces the concepts of unconfined individualism and Darwinism through his autobiographical account of his time riding the rails of Canada and the United States. The author of White Fang, The Call of the Wild, and Sea Wolf, relays the time leading up to turning point in his life - a perfunctory trial and a 30-day imprisonment in the Erie County Penitentiary for the crime of vagrancy - an experience so degrading that he turned to a career in writing.

Free wheeling it and living life to the hilt.
Reviewed: 08-22-19
London just had to live. He couldn’t contain it. The tales, the characters, the situations. Its a time and place long gone. But the feeling and yearnings of living life to the hilt belong and shine in all of us. This will inspire you.

Fun, wild, motivating read!
Reviewed: 03-29-18
Jen delivers her motivating material in an easy-to-understand way so you can put it right into action. Her humor will keep the sometimes deep material “light” and keep you smiling when faced with your own truth, which Jen helps uncover. I highly recommend this book to anyone stuck in a rut or even those who are successful since it will take you higher, regardless of where you are right now!
