When You Reach a Fork in the Road, Take It - Bernard K Bookman - Bog

Some might say Bernard Bookman has been a very lucky man, but as we read his story, we see he made his own luck, working hard while managing to remain devoted to his family. He is, indeed, as the editor of this lively and interesting volume found, "a self-made man who has found the important things in life." A glance at a few of the chapter titles offers a sense of the twists and turns his path has taken: A Montreal Childhood; Through the Gateway to the North; Business School and Babies; Out of Academia, into Consulting; The Girls Grew Up in Florida. The book's title-When You Reach a Fork in the Road, Take It-indicates something of the spirit that is part of the foundation of this admirable man's life and character: get out there and do what there is to be done and keep a lighthearted attitude handy. In many ways, Bookman has had a dream of a life: rewarding and significant work, a wonderful and loving family, strong relationships, and lots of fun. And he continues to move forward, enjoying his family and his life and watching the road ahead for opportunities.
