Who has not gone through a crisis? Who has not heard one door close just to see another open? What do we strive for and why? Why are some people driven to take care of the world and all its problems and others are content living under a bridge? Those going through lay-offs, career changes, lifestyle adjustments such as having children, health crisis, or coming back from serving overseas and facing employment with handicaps (both emotionally or physically), and persons forced into early retirement will relate to this memoir. Yes, it is true. This is his story…
Ken La Salle’s memoir is unlike most typical memoirs, this one solves a question of the ages, “What is success?” This was enlightenment for me. I took notes and shot him questions. I feel I know myself and my mission in life so much better from reading this book.
La Salle’s employment status combined with an innate sense of curiosity, his friend Tim’s self-destructive tendencies and the impending death of his friend Megan ignite his quest to find the root cause, meaning and consequences of success. Through research, analysis and epiphanies from above, he helps us push through all the psychoses and neuroses of why we never reach for the rope, grab it and then let go, or grab, hold on tight, and pull ourselves up.
Climbing Maya is a book that will be shared, given, and pondered for lifetimes and beyond. www.kenlasalle.com
