In this intimate and deeply moving book, Donald Marrs takes the reader into the heart of one of today's most challenging struggles – how to satisfy the desire of material success, while at the same time answer the call for a like of deeper meaning and fulfillment.
Executive in Passage is a compelling and luminous account of a man who "has it all" – success and power in his career, money, family, community stature – yet he begins to fell a growing split between his inner values and his daily work.
In an effort to resolve this conflict without sacrificing either his values or his successful career, he embarks on a journey that threatens to destroy his marriage, his family, his livelihood – everything he's worked so hard to build.
Following his inner voice, he travels through the boardrooms of some of America's largest corporations, into Hollywood's famed movie studios, and into the darkest corners of his own psyche.
Only after living through his worst fears does a climactic incident reveal what he's been searching for – the key to ending this split, the key to living a life without compromise – a life of uncommon fulfillment.
