Better yet, read the day-to-day adventures of John LaCasse, whose 25-year career as a Seattle yacht broker brought him into deals with business magnates, political figures, actors, royalty, even an organized crime boss-names the reader will recognize. Real-life happenings that turned this mountain boy from Montana into a wizard of wealth, penthouse living, Sports Car-driving, Harley-trekking, drinking and smoking to excess. Then one day wondering, what for? Why am I living this life of fast and furious? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is no typical memoir. It's the story of how one man shows that living life to the fullest, ricocheting from one daring deed to another-usually in reaction-mode-can bring a sweeping range of emotions-bravado, enlightenment, sorrow-that will be felt unequivocally by his readers. Fans of Elizabeth Gilbert's \u003cem\u003eEat Pray Love\u003c\/em\u003e will see a similar approach to life-only from a male perspective. Not just breathing air, breathing \u003cem\u003elife\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGoing back to school in middle age, LaCasse was kicked out of three universities. No Stop Sign here. He embraced transcendental studies, leading to an MBA and a Ph.D. Then, a personal trinity of women shed new understanding of science and spirituality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile frequenting his favorite bookstore, Shakespeare and Company, in Paris, LaCasse's stream of consciousness thrusts him suddenly into the presence of a 13th-century theologian. Both now in the 21st century, their conversation over coffee plummets-well, propels-John from DEALS and DANGER, into a new DESTINY.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sunbury Press, Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/25\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798888191064\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.76d","brand":"John Lacasse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43103939362997,"sku":"9798888191064","price":21.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_f7de37e5-8ce0-46f3-b574-5049e9c6e4d8.jpg?v=1693283019","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/deals-danger-destiny-9798888191064","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
