In fleeting moments, unanticipated and never to be repeated, our lives are changed by chance encounters. A word, an act of kindness, a gesture, even a look touches us in a way that makes us think more clearly or proceed more strategically.

The unexpected moment leaves behind a lasting lesson about life. In this book, Michael Brown tells stories of his own personal chance encounters, including takeaways that every reader can apply to his or her own life's journey. It is filled with hope, insight, and practical observations that result in the adventure of learning what others can bring to our lives if we simply pay attention.

Every story will take you inwards, as you take in all that's around you.
