Publisher's Synopsis
AUTHOR JOE GARRETT, husband, father, grandfather opens the windows of his atypical life, beginning with his boyhood in Flomot, in West Texas, a now extinct Dust Bowl settlement. From there he leads us on a unique adventure to the world's greatest cities and the cultures of corporate giants. In leading us through each fascinating phase of his metamorphosis, from cotton patch Texas to Harvard and the capitols of civilization, he demonstrates the value of an examined life. Garrett traces and re-lives the historical template for how the West was won. He shows how man can expand consciousness from a monoculture birthplace to a life of diversity and appreciation for all humans. In doing so, he has shown each of us the value of recording one's life and searching for its meaning.
