The Book of Life Lessons: 50 Lessons for Work, Life, and Everything in Between

This isn’t an autobiography. It’s a collection of lessons learned while living life. From a farm in postwar Holland to partner in a global healthcare company, Louis Slangen learned that wisdom comes from more than textbooks. Whether you’re launching your first business, navigating your career, or simply trying to live with more purpose, this book will help you rise to meet your potential. School taught you how to pass exams, but not how to build a life and career. “I recommend this book because it shows the value of curiosity and taking risks to make the most out of life.” —Gen. James L. Jones, USMC, 32nd Commandant of the Marine Corps (1999–2003); Supreme Allied Commander, NATO (2003–2006) “This book is very well written. It is simple. It’s written in Lou’s voice. It has lessons that people can use.” —Ram Charan, Advisor to boards and CEOs; Coauthor of Execution (New York Times best seller) “Lou has always practiced what he preaches in this book. Lou is smart, he is fun, and he is a person of character.” —John Kasich, Governor of Ohio (2011–2019); Member, U.S. House of Representatives (1983–2001) Louis Slangen was born in 1947 on a small farm in Herten, The Netherlands. After crossing the North Atlantic with only $200 and two suitcases, he started a new life in the U.S., where he built a career that spanned continents and industries as partner of the global healthcare company Invacare. Louis now lives in Ohio with his wife, Linda.
