James McCrae is the Eckhart Tolle of the internet generation. I love this book! I've already given one as a gift, and I think it will be my new favorite gift for people who mean something to me. Your ego can sometimes be your worst enemy. This personal story wonderfully illustrates how to get through tough times. Who doesn't find their own ego getting in the way of big plans and goals at times? James McCrae is an expert in this field. Although he was successful in the advertising industry, he quit his well-paying but hated job in 2012 to become a writer in New York. But just as he arrived, Hurricane Sandy destroyed his apartment, all his belongings, and with that, his big dream. Suddenly unemployed, homeless, and lonely, he is left with only a bottle of wine.
