A family life that produced many moments to celebrate and a few serious ones to grieve. Thought leader Carol Lavin Bernick, drawing from her extensive life and work experiences, shares 300+ highly engaging, inspirational stories in her memoir, Gather As You Go - Sharing Lessons Learned Along the Way. Through her insights, thoughts, and wisdom, she provides people of all ages practical advice to enjoy a more resilient, positive, and productive life. Rather than writing several books, Bernick chose to create one, self-help book imparting easily digestible short stories of her experiences for people with crazy, busy lives.
Gather As You Go is part business book - sharing stories from her thirty-seven years at the Alberto Culver Company and encompassing new product development, branding, the company's cultural overhaul she led, and the challenges in a family-owned business. It's also part family focused - with advice on raising great kids as a working mom, losing loved ones - one to drugs and one to cancer, and the challenges of and solutions to helping elderly parents.
It's also part coffee table and lifestyle book - providing tips on designing, building and decorating homes; entertaining, throwing great parties and weddings; and creating meaningful and major charitable efforts to make communities stronger through philanthropy. Gather As You Go covers a lot of ground. Organized into 10 chapters that take the form of quick, informative and empowering life lessons and reflections, each chapter features introductory thoughts from well-respected people speaking to their own expertise. With its beautiful photographs and artful illustrations, this substantive, 455-page book is a must-have.
From Millennial to Baby Boomer, readers will find Bernick's teachings to be authentic, tried-and-true, sincere, and down-to-earth.
**** Net proceeds from the
sales of Gather As You Go support Enchanted Backpack, a Chicago-area nonprofit founded by the Lavin and Bernick families with the belief that all children deserve to have the tools they need to learn and excel.
THOUGHTS/REVIEW:
Receiving this book was a definite gift. I needed this in my life. It is an all in one - everything I needed and more. It is a wonderful collection of stories, life advice, inspirational life lessons and lessons learned, beautiful reflection and empowering thoughts. A life's work in one book!
The book is beautiful hard bound and have been on display in my home since the moment I received it. It is such a great conversational starter as well and have recommended this book to many of my closest friends and family members who have seen this beautiful book on display in my home - right smack center in my living room console.
This is certainly one gift that keeps on giving and a gift that I can open again and again. I love this so much for all the valuable information in it! Every home should have this book. I would like to mention that this book makes a great gift for a wedding, birthday, or just because.
I highly recommend this book!!
