Michael Nelson was 73-years-old when he started writing this book so it is based on a “lifetime of experiences” including his younger years, personal relationships, academic life, marriage, career, raising children, mistakes, and more. The book is his effort to document some of the important things he has learned along the way and pass them along to others who might benefit from them as well. Michael and his wife Betty were high school sweethearts and are graduates of the University of Mississippi. They have two grown children, both with MBAs and very successful in their own right, and three wonderful grandchildren. They are active members of Idlewild Presbyterian Church in Memphis, TN. Michael started his business career with IBM. He went on from there to become a partner in a technology equipment leasing organization, and then served as President of a technology consulting firm in Chicago. In addition, he served on the board of a Mid-south banking organization for ten years. After selling his business interest in Chicago, Michael and Betty returned to Memphis and, shortly after, he wrote his first book, Good Choices Good Life. He then helped start a small educational nonprofit, which promotes good choice-making through topics on its website, www.GoodChoicesGoodLife.org.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Living by Choice was written to help us better understand the power of our choices and that our choices not only define who we are today, but ultimately the type of person we turn out to be. The book is intended to help adults who want to make better choices in their lives, parents who are teaching choice-making skills to their children, and young people working to gain insight into how to develop their lives. The book stresses that each of us has the personal responsibility of managing our life and that we do so--effectively or otherwise--through the choices we make. The truth is . . . most of us are so busy with our daily routines that we seldom stop to think about what is required to manage our lives effectively. We tend to live our lives one day at a time without an overall strategy for how best to do so. Many of us live without a clear insight into how our choices define who we are and ultimately what we achieve. To bring this subject into greater focus . . . Living by Choice was written to motivate individuals, younger ones and older ones, to stop and consider the choices they are making in their lives. You will not find the answers here, and that was never the intention of the book. The ultimate answers about your life can only come from you. However, the book is intended to stimulate your thinking. Its basic objective is to help you think about your life and motivate you to make any choices needed to adjust the way you are living yours. To accomplish this, the book contains fourteen (14) sections including Managing Your Life, Being an Honest Person, and Creating a Caring You.
