"The author's message to those who seek inspiration in their lives. It began as a talk he gave on the spur of the moment, and over the course of ten years, it has evolved into a message he has shared with successful business people, students, and even addicts and prisoners. It includes stories his readers have told him, stories about great achievers who overcame hardships, and stories about his own struggle growing up in a large family with financial difficulties and a suicidal mother, and about his diagnosis of Tourette's Syndrome later in life. These inspiring stories are woven through his identification and careful explanation of the four doors to a more fulfilling life: Believe there's a reason you were born, free yourself from limitation, magnify your life, and develop a love-centered map. Evans believes that we all want to know the meaning of our lives. In The Four Doors, he shows how even the most quiet life can be full of purpose and joy, if we choose to take that first step over the threshold. Richard Paul Evans has written more than twenty novels. He lives in Salt Lake City, Utah"--Provided by publisher.
