The struggle to Play It Forward Episode 550 With Sharon Price John Author Of Stories And Heart The journey to an amazing life is often a winding road, but the scenic route can be fun and enlightening. Sharon Price John, the CEO of Build-A-Bear Workshop assembles a blueprint for making meaning in modern times in STORIES & HEART (published by Forbes Books). More than just candid stories that educate and inspire, she guides readers through her framework for using their own personal stories to enact meaningful change in their lives. Each chapter begins with a themed story highlighting a life lesson — like learning to set productive goals, or challenging limiting perceptions — then proceeds to a “Questions from the Heart” section that creates a place for contemplation. The chapters conclude with a “Create Your Own Story” exercise designed to help readers identify the power of their personal stories, impact their own journeys, and create a life they love.
