The journey of self-discovery is a lifetime trip; and just like the 
fingerprints you possess, yours will be uniquely different than anyone else’s. 
There are things that are common in each—such as good and bad times, emotional 
highs and lows, and choices that will need to be made. These choices that are 
presented to you can greatly define how you live your life. They may be 
influenced by the people you meet, symbols that are strategically placed along 
your journey, and especially by however you choose to worship your idea of God. 
Being that no choice ever comes without consequence, there really is no right or 
wrong answer; either road taken will eventually get you to where you’re supposed 
to be. Although some roads take longer than others in order to reach your final 
destination.

Philip Nork was born in Chicago, Illinois and is the oldest of three children. 
His early years were devastating as he endured the divorce of his parents, the 
death of his beloved great-grandmother, and the resulting feelings of isolation 
and loneliness. While these events took their toll, they also shaped the man he 
grew up to be. Phil had a different perspective than his friends and his 
experiences were totally unique. As his young male friends were busy playing 
baseball, defending their turf, and hitting on girls, his time was spent 
reading, listening to music, writing his feelings down in his journal and trying 
to understand the differences in people and to figure out how “we can all get 
along.” After graduating early from high school, he entered the work force as a way to help 
support his mother and his siblings. To get away from the reality of his life, 
Phil spent much of his off time with his friend Joyce, a lesbian. She was able 
to help him experience women at his own pace and taught him many of the lessons 
he was to put in place. As more and more straight ladies entered his life, these 
experiences allowed him to learn more about human nature and he was able to turn 
these special times into the stories in his book. Phil lives in Nevada with his 
wife and their son. He mixes work with his love of writing. He spent the first 
25 years of his working life in the restaurant industry. He took all the 
knowledge from his early days at McDonalds and parlayed that into a successful 
stint with Panera Bread. He rose from the day to day operations of a general 
manager to become an Area Manager and then a Training Manager for that 
organization. Teaching and speaking in front of hundreds of trainees day in and 
day out helped him perfect his easy going style. He is now an Area Manager for 
CDS, a marketing and sales firm which specializes in working with the vendors of 
Costco Wholesale Warehouses. In addition to writing, Phil is a baseball card 
collector, an avid reader, and enjoys listening to the music of his youth, 
especially Rod Stewart and Air Supply.    
 
Here is another book by Phil and it was just as good as 
the first one. If you have not read one of Philip's books this would be one to 
start with. I am sure that you will enjoy this one. 
Thanks to Phil for sharing his books with us.
