PREFACE: PART I<br />

This book was written because over all my years out there in the<br />

business world, the arts, doing philanthropy and life in general, I have<br />

observed that while Peter may arguably be somewhat of an extreme<br />

example, there are really quite a few people who have never been taught,<br />

or if they were, at some point they came to the conclusion that it didn’t<br />

apply to them, that:<br />

There is a direct correlation between what they spend their time and<br />

energy thinking, saying and doing, and what their quality of life turns<br />

out to be.<br />

I’ve seen people including myself, do unbelievable things and then be<br />

shocked at the subsequent turn of events, which upon reflection, was an<br />

obvious result. I along with many, have also been surprised at a<br />

seemingly, upstanding individual’s sudden turn of apparent misfortune,<br />

only to learn subsequently of actions of that individual, that clarified<br />

completely what brought that adversity their way. Thankfully, I’ve also<br />

had great role models like Nick, and others you’ll meet.<br />

It has been my observation, however, gleaned from a long career on<br />

Wall Street along with all the experiences attendant to career, marriage,<br />

raising children, owning homes, traveling, competing athletically,<br />

writing and performing music, creating a philanthropy and more, that:<br />

In spite of the continuous litany of business, sports, government and<br />

religious figures who we have seen fall from grace and receive their<br />

comeuppance, many people still do not grasp the life forces and<br />

principles at play in these cases.
