PEAKS AND VALLEYS

Whether it's romance or the stock market, life's ups and downs can drive anyone crazy. Why can't we always be up? This audio fable about a wise man on a mountain attempts to answer that question. (Clue: How you behave down in the valley determines your life on the peak.) Johnson, best known for his book WHO MOVED MY CHEESE? maintains the same successful narrative approach (call this one WHO MOVED MY PEAK?). Narrator John Dossett keeps the story moving with businesslike authority and a bit of empathy. One of the strongest features of the audio is an insightful interview with the reclusive author.
