Lodestar

“Throughout my career, I have understood the value of practical wisdom and scientific analysis. The balance struck between timeless principles and exclusive interviews makes Lodestar a uniquely powerful guide to real-world applications for those in pursuit of personal and professional growth.”

“Lodestar is like having two friendly guides walk you through the distilled wisdom of the past several decades on how you can live your best life, both personally and professionally. You will gain valuable insight guaranteed. Lodestar feels familiar because so many of its lessons ring so true.”

“Lodestar is the rare book providing life guidance over career, character, company, and community domains, transporting the reader magically across such perspectives without ever seeming preachy or judgmental. The book is not a script of truisms but a compass that helps you find a path unique to your own goals. It introduces new ideas in a manner that shows insight and appreciation of different strategic contexts and personal priorities. As a result, Jim McCann’s own rare empathetic qualities show us how to understand others before we condemn them or worship them. The lessons are clear, but like the varied viewers of any great work of art, they will have different meanings for each reader.”

“The authors have gone beyond the ordinary, weaving together the best ideas of the past and presenting them alongside exclusive interviews with those who have turned theory into triumph. Lodestar is not just a book; it is a shortcut to the elusive path of career and individual growth.”

“For as long as I can remember, the presence of Jim McCann in the 1970s on television, his invitational warmth, and his sincerity always transmitted beyond mere business. We ‘knew’ him! He was a welcoming neighbor and compassionate friend. Amid the nearly five decades, a personal brethrenship has begun between us, and I can affirm the consistency of his rich heart, dedication, and contribution to the wellness of others, which match those from whom I come. He is a consummate discoverer of human nature and ways the ‘plenty’ can benefit. His journeys and new wisdoms through Lodestar will serve as an essential glossary for life’s winning pathways, I am certain. Count me in for the revelations!”

“As someone who has navigated the complexities of both Wall Street and Washington, I appreciate the clear road map Lodestar offers for achieving success. Jim McCann and George S. Everly, Jr. have crafted a guide that not only draws upon historical wisdom but also incorporates modern insights, including some from my own journey. This book is an invaluable asset for anyone looking to enrich themselves.”
