Description
A collection of personal stories from the author illuminating the powerful lessons that reveal themselves during life's most difficult, unexpected moments-but only if you know where to look. The third and final book in the Is This Seat Taken? series by author Kristin S. Kaufman is her most earnest, thought-provoking, and insightful entry yet. While her first book focused on insights Kaufman learned from seemingly random encounters with strangers, and the second told the stories of leaders and other successful individuals who found their purpose late in life, her third book, Is This Seat Taken?: No, I Saved It for You, is more self-reflective, dealing with her own life experiences. The author unflinchingly unpacks decades' worth of her own personal struggles for the powerful lessons that will inspire her readers. Kaufman examines the loss of her beloved father, her mother's heart-breaking Alzheimer's diagnosis, and living with the Hepatitis C she contracted during a blood transfusion when she was a baby. Kaufman doesn't shy away from the ugly truth, acknowledging that despite her great success in life, she has often learned more from unexpected challenges than from personal and professional victories. Kaufman's purposeful, instructive tone and meditative, workbook-style chapters help to elevate this final installment of her trilogy from pure memoir to a space where it will appeal to anyone interested in self-help, motivational reading, and personal development-especially those in business leadership looking to align their personal growth with their professional success.
