Book Review of The Cliff Walk : A Job Lost and a Life Found

The Cliff Walk : A Job Lost and a Life Found
reviewed on + 19 more book reviews


This book changed my outlook on the pursuit of "happiness." The author was a professor of English, married with 3 children and another on the way when he lost his job. After a long and fruitless search for a comparable job, he was finally reduced to doing manual labor to keep his family fed. He came away from the experience a much wiser man. Definitely worth the time, particularly if you're concerned about our society's obsession with material success.
