Have you ever felt like it is too late to start over? Told through a story of how an unwanted dog became a life-changing mentor, Firsthand Lessons, Secondhand Dogs is a book about getting a second chance at enjoying a first-rate existence. The story begins with the unlikely adoption of a secondhand dog, Bruno, and is paralleled to the life of his adoptive father, author Scott Carbonara. As Scott s life changes, through work promotions and challenges, Bruno subtly yet strongly demonstrates how to have fun, focus, forgive, and finally, pay it forward all lessons that serve us whether in business or life. As Scott illustrates through the poignant and often humorous story and accompanying lessons and exercises, as long as you strive to keep learning and teaching others, your work continues. This book provides an opportunity to laugh, learn, and love your life again, all while finding concrete ways to pay it forward.
