How to Be Happy Even When Life is Crappy
[spacer size=”20″]Filled with adventure stories, life lessons, and a good deal of humor, The Road to Shine is an inspiring true story and practical guide to courageously claiming your life. The book has a fun backstory; Laurie wrote the original version while fasting in the desert on a vision quest for four days. A few months later, the novel got picked up by a major New York publisher, and it is currently being considered by Oprah’s book club. The book is hot off the press: just released on May 13, 2014.
[spacer size=”20″]Laurie Gardner is passionate about helping others to have fun, meaningful lives. A 20-year author-expert in personal development and leadership, she has multi-lingual public speaking experience both within and outside the U.S. Laurie has served as an organizational and life coach to the Education Ministers of Qatar, state governors, and other legislators, Mayan spiritual leaders, and top business and education leaders around the world. Known for her quick wit, warmth, and laser-like insight, she has a unique talent for immediately getting to the crux of an issue and uncovering practical, doable situations. At her core, Laurie is a teacher; she spent 15 years reforming America’s public schools as leading pioneer in the charter school movement and served on the board of the Harvard Graduate School of Education. While an undergrad at Harvard, Laurie graduated with high honors with degrees in comparative world religions and psychology, and she also taught quantum physics. She received her Master’s Degree in education, teacher certifications, and principal certification from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. An avid world explorer, Laurie traveled to 50 countries and 40 states by the time she was 33 and speaks five languages. She has written several dozen articles and publications, including a feature in Harvard’s Ed. Magazine.
