No one comes into life with an instruction manual. "Adapting And Overcoming: Powerful Life, Business and Spiritual Secrets That You Need To Know - In Less Than One Hour - Guaranteed " may be as close as possible to Life's Instruction Manual, if there was one. This book was written out of a deep necessity in today's world. The author, John M. Wasikowski has reflected on the contents of this book for quite a while, trying to figure out how best to share these vital lessons with others. Often times the author would say to his friends, "Someone should be writing this down." No one ever did. Lately, the author discerned the timing was ripe. These life, business and spiritual lessons simply had to be written down and shared now. Within these pages is a condensation of a lifetime of experiences - some great and some desperately painful. In addition, Mr. Wasikowski has quoted several key public figures and others who were his mentors in life. The private individuals who contributed to his life and that he has quoted within this book, may not have even remembered saying these things to him. But their words to him had a profound impact upon his life. They simply had to be shared as well. John M. Wasikowski is one of America's best amateur hagiographers, that is someone who writes about the lives and especially the miracles of various Catholic saints.
