How do you keep your fire burning when the rains of life keep pouring down? Best-selling author Tim Buwick began writing this book to share his process of personal transformation born out of the sudden loss of his job after nearly 30 years. Little did he know that this was just the first small pothole on what would soon become an extremely rough road. There were deaths of multiple family members and close friends. A totaled car. A broken arm. A destroyed shoulder. Serious family sickness. And during all this, he was given the news that he needed immediate major open-heart surgery.

This book was no longer just about career transition and answering the “so now what?” question in life. There was an even bigger existential question to address: How do we keep our passion for living when sometimes we are just trying to stay alive, figuratively and literally? With honesty, emotion, and keen insight, Tim reveals his secret to not just staying alive…but to thrive! He takes you through the M5 Process of Self-Discovery so that you can stay ablaze for the rest of your days. Packed with stories seasoned liberally with humor, Tim shows you how to ignite your passion and purpose to keep your fire burning brightly…even during the very darkest of times.
