Overview

Over decades of being a civil rights attorney and political activist, David E. Lasker has lived his life always looking to see what the future brings. This inspirational memoir tells his story with humor and insight as he recounts his career and personal life and talks about love, compassion, gratitude, spirituality, letting go, being present, opinions and judgments, openness and acceptance, integrity, friendship, co-dependency, addiction, recovery, joy, happiness, and all the things he's thought about, done, and experienced along the way of becoming three-quarters of a century old. 

Description

In this book, David E. Lasker has fulfilled what he said in the opening chapter: "My personal story isn't significant. What I hope to address in this book is who I am, what I stand for, and how I came to be here. My hope is that by baring my soul I may somehow make a difference. I am an ordinary person with nothing that makes me more special than the next guy. But each of us is unique and capable of contributing to the good of humanity. And I have always longed to make a difference."
