I know I haven't posted for a while, for which I am sorry. All I have as an explanation is life happens and that's what I've been caught up with. Now that we have that out of the way, I'm about to recommend an amazing book for you to read. "What is this book that you have had me awaiting a review for nearly a year called?" you may ask. The title of this life-changing novel that was written by Stephen Lundin, Harry Paul, and John Christensen is simply "FISH!" and it will most definitely leave lingering thoughts and budding ideas in its wake.
The first thing I need to tell you about "FISH!" is that, contrary to what the name may suggest, this novel is not actually about fish. My apologies to all of you "Finding Nemo" fans that I just crushed. The only fish in this book are located in the famous Pike Place Fish Market, where they are happily being thrown over the heads of customers and, occasionally, into their arms as well. This novel is actually a sort of self-help piece for the work-place.
In the beginning, this narrative finds it's protagonist in the middle of a tragedy. Having just lost her husband, Mary Jane is caught between her children, her grief, her bills, and her job. She is now a single mother who is buried up to her ears in hospital bills. Due to her debt, Mary Jane is pushed into an unwanted "promotion" at her job in order to keep up. The only problem with her "promotion" is that she is now the head of the "toxic energy dump" on the third floor and if she doesn't improve her floors productivity, people will lose their jobs. Locked in a dark situation with no key, she finally finds salvation in a very unlikely place. This story lets us join her in her battle to change her work environment and the attitudes of the people she works with.
If you like to read about how to improve your life and the lives around you, or even if you just enjoy a good motivational story, you will love "FISH!"
And now for those of you who have made it this far:
