ABOUT THE BOOK:

The ‘peaks and valleys’ is all about how we manage and make the good and bad times work for us- At work And in life. Instead of narrating the things which we need to do or learn to make our good and bad times work normally ‘SPENCER JOHNSON’ has narrated the things based on a story to which we can relate and understand easily. That is the reason Dr.johnson is often referred to as “the best at taking complex subjects and presenting simple solutions that work. It is suitable for anyone (adults and teenagers) who wonders about the ups and downs of life and how best to deal with them.

Peaks and Valleys is a story of a young man who lives unhappily in a valley until he meets an old man who lives on a peak, and it changes his work and life forever.

Initially, the young man does not realize he is talking with one of the most peaceful and successful people in the world. However, through a series of conversations and experiences that occur up on peaks and down in valleys, the young man comes to make some discoveries.

Eventually, he comes to understand how he can use the old man’s remarkable principles and practical tools in good and bad times and becomes more calm and successful himself.Now we can take a similar journey through the story and use what we can find to our advantage in our own work and life.
