Redwoods are the most majestic trees on the planet. Their sheer size makes them one of the most sought after natural destinations on the planet. To paraphrase John Steinbeck, redwoods have the power to leave a mark and create a vision that stays with people for the rest of their lives. From these people comes silence and awe. Redwoods require specific conditions to be the remarkable creations that they are. They need a proper environment and a community of other redwoods to stabilize their root system. Only when these conditions are met do redwoods fulfill their greatest potential. Humans are much the same. We require an environment, conditions, and community that support our growth. When we meet these conditions we give ourselves the best possible chance to live up to our potential as well. This book explores the nature of growth. It explores the specific conditions, both external and internal, that are the recipe for leading a remarkable life. Like the redwoods, it's a recipe for leaving a mark and creating a vision that stays with others for the rest of their lives. It's the recipe for being a redwood, leaving others in awe.
