Dean Johnson's new book How The Years Passed By ($24.99, paperback, 9781545600016; $9.99, eBook, 9781545600023) shares how through a series of interconnected events, with stories and over 300 photographs, how the author achieved success in life, in love, in business and in the sport he loves by following and yielding intuitively to what he believes were divinely-inspired events. Woven through an autobiographical theme with a spiritual message, the author reveals how, by simply trying every day to leave the world a bit better than he found it, regardless of where he started, by living one day at a time with a purpose, he believes nearly anyone can find the formula to a long and happy life.
