Second Chances: Transforming Adversity into Opportunity
Take Control of Your Life and Your Happiness by Making Positive Choices
208-page book by Chuck Gallagher
“On the day I took twenty-three steps into federal prison, I did not recognize all the choices that resulted in this consequence. By the time I took twenty-three steps out of prison, my understanding had deepened. Writing this book took perseverance and led me to twenty-three insights about turning negative choices into positive results. I offer my story to remind you, and me, that our prisons are often self-inflicted.”
In the prime of his life, Chuck Gallagher made some bad career choices that landed him behind bars. In this deeply personal and compelling book, he comes clean about his life-changing experience—and it might just change your life, too.
Although Chuck’s prison was a physical one, some of us unknowingly create our own “prisons” through the negative choices we make. As you read this personal development book about Chuck’s struggle with choices and consequences, it will shed new light on how your own choices affect your
happiness and success, whether personally or professionally.
Second Chances will inspire you to:
- Examine the decisions you’ve made and understand how they’ve altered the course of your life.
- Take control of your own destiny by making choices that produce positive results.
- Unlock the chains that bind you by turning adversity into opportunity!
