“John’s always said that writing The Road to Self would be worth it if it helped one person,” said Craig Edinger, dear friend of John and CEO of The Goodman Group. “His spirit, his generosity and his willingness to share these lessons have touched the lives of so many. John would be pleased to know his vision is being carried on with this easily accessible audiobook.”
Among the major takeaways from John’s journey is the importance of living in the present moment, practicing acceptance without judgment and showing compassion and gratitude in all our relationships. John’s holistic passion was to help people find a path to joy and wellbeing. Since the book’s release in October 2015, more than 7,200 copies have been distributed.
