Notes for the Children (ePub)

"An example of how meaningful change begins-and where our path can lead if we are brave enough to keep asking why."-Martin Luther King III, from the foreword

¿¿In an extraordinary gift to his children, one father shows how the power of mindfulness and self-compassion can help chart a path through life's challenges toward solace and joy.

A unique memoir that weaves together stories of personal triumph, love, loss, and lessons learned, Notes for the Children follows Patrick Priestner throughout his life as a son, a brother, a car salesman, an award-winning automotive entrepreneur-and his most rewarding roles, as a husband and a father.

Through his engaging and inspiring storytelling, Priestner transports readers from the streets of his childhood neighborhoods to the bustling car dealership where he made his first sale. He reveals the challenges and joys of his relationships with family members and loved ones and how music and Buddhist philosophy helped him cope with the struggles that life threw his way with compassion and forgiveness.

Notes for the Children is a testament to the power of making small changes in life in order to heal, inspire, and connect. Priestner's inspiring words offer reflections on life and its many lessons and show how the threads of experience make up the tapestry of life.
