Here A hard-charging CEO of a large enterprise, Ben Feder discovers that
he is losing the very things that sustained him over his years of
business success. Unsettled by his insight and determined to rebuild
family relationships and rejuvenate his sense of purpose, he risks his
career on a life-altering physical and emotional journey. Together with
his wife and children, Feder sets off for an exotic island on a
self-prescribed sabbatical year. That experience transforms them all.
The writing is honest and moving, baring the author's innermost
struggles and fears, and enticing the reader to share his quest. As
Feder navigates the thrills and pitfalls of his time away, he draws us
into remarkable examinations of values and priorities in adult life.
