The Carpenter: A Story About the Greatest Success Strategies of All (Jon Gordon)

Product Information

Love the life philosophy advocated by the carpenter: "Loving, serving, and caring". I am sure anyone who goes for this lifestyle will live a remarkable, significant, and fulfilling life!! Traveling all around the country wrestling different people, those guys come up with a lot of stuff to hype matches in interviews. They have to come up with one-liners. Roddy had a book full of them that he carried with him,” Carpenter explained. “He’d sit on a plane and come up with these things. He gave me the book when I was writing the script and that was the best one in there. I think he was wrestling Playboy Buddy Rose and he may have said the line then.”

The book opens with Michael in the hospital. He had been running through the city streets, thinking about ways to build his company, when he collapsed as a result of the stress he was under. A carpenter happened to be close by and saved his life. The carpenter had left his simple business card, so after Michael got out of the hospital, he decided to reach out to him to thank him.

A consistent message throughout The Carpenter is what you believe to be true will become what is true. Truly, our minds are the most powerful and intricate “computers” on the planet and we must constantly program our mind and thoughts through talking to ourselves in a positive, encouraging manner. There have been several books exploring the life and music of this beloved duo, but none of been officially authorized or were provided the kind of access that Lennox and May had for Carpenters: The Musical Legacy.

I heard a great interview with this author about the difference between "parenting" and "being a parent" (I mean, think about it: Do I "wife" my husband or "daughter" my parents? What would that even look like? I'm not trying to change them.)Information provided on Forbes Home is for educational purposes only.
