Are you living fully... or just on the surface? How often do you really submerge yourself in life?In Depth Charges, the author shows us how a deeper, more sensitive approach to life can extract valuable insight from our daily experiences. In a series of thought provoking essays, we accompany Calten on an incisive journey through childhood days, the Vietnam war years, life in corporate America, on line dating, the animal world, and places existing only in our minds and spirit.Well beyond the sharing of his story, he examines some of the fundamental challenges we all face and provides his unique and analytical interpretations. Outspoken, poignant, and always engaging, Calten can be painfully honest while providing a refreshing dose of humor as he describes his reactions to life events. With each chapter, you'll find yourself pausing to examine your own beliefs - exactly what he hopes you'll do. We share what he ultimately discovers: the deepest lessons are truly universal.
"It is so true that we typically harvest only a very small amount of the meaning in what life offers us. Here, Calten takes the autobiographical opportunity to reconsider forty years of touchstone life events and to gather the sweet unharvested fruit of times gone by. A relatable and fulfilling journey."- Ray Mulesky, author ofThunder From a Clear Sky
