Summary: Extraordinarily deep, beautiful running book
Comment: I sat in the parking lot before a sport injury prevention workshop and read a chapter in Dean Ottati's new book and came close to weeping.
It's a wonderful book in many ways: first because it is so easy to relate to Dean's experiences. He's a runner just like the rest of us. Second, because he has a way of giving us hope, that we can find beauty and meaning and realize our ideals. And third, because he encourages us to carry forward our search for meaning and soul. It's a book to be grateful for.
Disclaimer: I edited Dean's book. I've been a runner for thirty-four years and, in the early 1970s, served as assistant editor of Runner's World. I mention this because I'm familiar with runners' dreams, and in my view, no one has ever expressed them better than Dean Ottati.

Summary: Seeking meaning in your "ordinary" life? Read this book!
Comment: This is NOT a "how to" book written by a "wanna-be" subject mater expert. This is a truly inspirational work that challenges us to face our "postmodern" human condition.
Ottati places himself in the midst of common, modern day dilemmas where we all find ourselves pondering and searching for fulfillment while striking a balance between work, family and leisure. Each chapter has a story and message that stands alone on its own merit. One or many of these chapters will strike a chord with the personal life of every reader.
This book is an unconventional and inspirational challenge to those who are seeking fulfillment in their "normal" corporate lives and to younger people who aspire to such positions.
