Product Description
Product Description
Choice! The key is Choice. You have options. You need not spend your life wallowing in failure, ignorance, grief, poverty, shame, and self-pity. But, hold on! If this is true then why have so many among us apparently elected to live in that manner? The answer is obvious. Those who live in unhappy failure have never exercised their options for a better way of life because they have never been aware that they had any Choices !

Format:Paperback
This is a wonderful book about a man who gives up a very successful career in the insurance business in order to follow his dream of becoming a writer. By choosing this path he gives up the security of a steady income to enter the uncertain future of being a first time author. Although he and his family struggle to make ends meet, his gamble finally pays off and his first work becomes a national best seller.
This book is also about the main character's desire to spend more quality time with his family, especially his children. Readers will identify with the feelings brought forth as they read this book because many of us know the pain of working so hard that we are not around to see our babies growing up. I recommend this book highly as well as all of Og Mandino's books. A good book to read after "The Choice" is "A Better Way to Live". This book's title is taken from the fictitional title of the book written in "The Choice". It tells the real life story of Og Mandino's own struggle and success in his own life.

Og Mandino delivers a powerful message through the compelling story of Mark Christopher, a "successful" insurance company vice-president who leaves the security of his job to become an inspirational writer.
Anyone who has already made such a leap of faith, or is thinking about stepping out to pursue their true vocation and become the person they were meant to become, will surely benefit from this book. The Choice is not written for the armchair quarterback, but for someone who is sincerely seeking positive change in their life. Mandino weaves lessons between the lines throughout the book.
As an author who has made a choice similar to the fictional Mark Christopher, I found tis book to be quite eerie, memorable and moving.

Og Mandino is one of the most refreshing inspirational writers I've had the honor to read. He speaks from the heart and makes you think...really think about the choices that you have in your daily life. A MUST READ!

Unbelievably bad
I would classify this as a fantasy novel, aimed very simple minded readers. The story line is so hackneyed and trite that it has none of the claimed inspirational value at all.

OG'S BEST!!
I believe that this is Og's finest piece of work, even though all of his books are great. He will go down in history as the greatest inspirational writer of the 20th century. Read more

It is up to you to choose greatness, not mediocrity.
If you've been afraid of "fear", this story will definitely remind you that our only fear resides in the risks we do not take and regret later. Read more
