A Tale of Three Ships: Charting Your Course in Life

'A Tale of Three Ships' is an extended parable about the three possible directions every person's life may take. It is a compelling reflection on the quality and significance of life aboard the sinking ship, whose motto is survival; the cruise ship, whose motto is enjoyment; and the battleship, whose purpose is meaningful influence. In its pages you will discover guidelines for discovering your 'extraordinary dream'; and the great, though difficult, adventure of bringing it to reality.

5Game Changer  Jun 13, 2010
By Frederick Stow
I've read many "self help" and "find yourself" type books, but Edwards' A Tale of Three Ships is a game-changer. Short, sweet and simple it gives you your basic three ways to go through life. A great read for any age. The young will use it to chart their own course ahead. The middle-aged will benefit from Edwards' analogies for their mid-life course correction. And the older crowd will feel re-energized to make a difference for those coming behind. Highly recommended reading for all!


5Concise but Powerpacked Motivation  Jun 13, 2010
By Jeffrey Zweig
What I love about this book is the short, punchy, yet impactful style that keeps me reminded to stay on course to get the most of out of life. It's a fast, powerful read that I find myself coming back to during those times when I'm feeling down or unmotivated.

Life is increasingly complicated these days. A Tale of Three Ships provides a simple framework for one to stop and consider the direction you either ARE going or the direction you WANT to go in life. The colorful illustrations of living life on a cruise ship, sinking ship or battle ship are powerful, yet simple images to reflect on your current direction in life, but also providing meaningful alternatives to enhance your joy and satisfaction in life.

Dwight has a unique ability to communicate deeply, yet simply. His message has no age boundary. Yes, this is a perfect gift for a young person setting out their course in life, but it is equally as powerful for adults who have made their choices in life, but wish to pursue new dreams and, perhaps, jump to a new ship.

This is a book that should be reread annually. It is also a great complement to Dwight's newsletter, High Octane for the Mind, whose weekly message reinforces the great advise in A Tale of Three Ships. (web site is [...]

Enjoy and pass along.
