By Corcoran Coaching<\/a><\/p>\n

A friend, Aaron \u201cMarty\u201d Martinson, wrote those words in a note to me. On the pages that follow, you will discover that he didn\u2019t find me. I found him. And, thanks to Marty, I remembered a few things about life that I hadn\u2019t really thought about for a long time.<\/p>\n

For years I had grand visions of writing a book about a leader who changed the course of history. I filled my personal library with biographies of presidents and statesmen. I wanted to understand what made their lives great – and what might be missing from mine.<\/p>\n

In looking for answers I turned to books written by people who are successful in business and industry. For a while I searched for excellence, and then I compared my habits to those of highly effective people. Like millions of people, I thought success equaled happiness.<\/p>\n

The book I\u2019ve written, though, is about a simple man who ran a cash register. He worked hard and was good to people. That, in turn, made him happy.<\/p>\n

Can it be so simple? so free of complications? Marty thought so. He showed me how to be a better person, not one wealthier or more successful or more powerful.<\/p>\n
