Book Overview

A New York Times bestseller with over 1.3 million copies sold! Only a few months ago, he was a successful executive. Now he's a desperate man. Join David Ponder on an incredible journey to discover the Seven Decisions for success that can turn any life around, no matter how hopeless a situation seems.

Forty-six-year-old David Ponder feels like a total failure. Once a high-flying executive in a Fortune 500 company, he now works a part-time, minimum wage job and struggles to support his family. Suddenly an even greater crisis hits: his daughter becomes ill, and he can't even afford to get her the medical help she needs. When David's car skids on an icy road, he wonders if he even cares to survive the crash.

But an extraordinary experience awaits David Ponder. He suddenly finds himself traveling back in time, meeting leaders and heroes at crucial moments in their lives--from Abraham Lincoln to Anne Frank. As David speaks with each of these historical figures, they share their personal philosophies with him. By the time his journey is over, he has received seven secrets for success--and a second chance. Among these crucial decisions for success are:

The buck stops here, and I am responsible for my past and my futureI will seek wisdom and be a servant to othersI will greet this day with a forgiving spirit, and I will forgive myselfToday I will choose to be happy and be the possessor of a grateful spirit

The message is simple: Life is about choices. While we have little control over the events that occur in our lives, success is determined by the choices we make daily. The Traveler's Gift will challenge you, inspire you, and give you seven decisions that you can employ to determine your own personal success.

Fantastic life changing book

Andy Andrews is one of my favorite authors. He is inspiring and love his historical fiction books. After reading this, I bought several copies to give to people. Everyone loves it.

Stupid book

Fabulous!

Simply Fabulous...what more is there to say? This book is a life-changing journey. I challenge anyone to read this book, and not come away from it with a change in their perspective. I, like many of the other reviewers, read this book in one sitting. I woke my husband at 1 in the morning (after finishing the book) overwhelmed with a feeling of hope and understanding. The message seemed to be written just for me, although I'm sure everyone going through trying times will feel exactly the same way. I felt the author's choice of the historical figures was well thought-out and done well, and David Ponder's journey is one that anyone can relate to at any point in their lives. I highly recommend this book for anyone wherever they may be in their personal journey, and hope that they open their eyes and hearts to truly receive the message.
