Description
From humble beginnings, Rob White went on to become very successful in the real estate and restaurant business. At the same time that he began enjoying material wealth, he experienced a deepening feeling of inner emptiness. So he sought out world-class gurus to help him understand better how to live a full, rich life. However, he eventually discovered that the most helpful gurus aren’t necessarily bestselling self-help authors, world-famous keynote speakers, or famous workshop leaders — they’re unassuming gurus that everyone encounters on their journey through life. These “everyday” teachers awakened Rob to powerful insights and life lessons that are superb starting points for a new life.
This book recaps twenty one of Rob’s awakening moments in inspirational, warm, and entertaining stories. You’ll read about a grade school student who, with one simple question, helped Rob gain a deeper understanding of the true meaning of life. You’ll meet a Maasai mother who demonstrated that we’re much more than we dare to imagine. And you’ll meet a former peanut vendor who turned medical wisdom on its head by simply deciding that he wasn’t going to die.
And Then I Met Margaret demonstrates that life is always supporting you by sending the right and perfect person to help you learn what you next need to know in order to grow. Rob wrote this book to alert you to the many unexpected teachers who can help shatter the myths that keep you from you experiencing life to the fullest and achieving your dreams and goals.
After reading And Then I Met Margaret, you’ll never see the world the same way. You may even recognize an unexpected guru or two as you travel the journey of your life.

This book was a fast and easy read! I love how it is broken up into short stories, as it was easy to stop and pick it back up. Starting each story with a myth and then ending it with what he thinks is the truth about it. Highly recommend!

And Then I Met Margaret (And Then) is an incredible book for those who are spiritually inclined. A bit verbose. But, very good. It's also good for those who are not spiritually inclined.
The book is a bit older than we normally review. However, this is a solid read. If you were to Google the reviews, you wouldn't know what to expect. What we can state is that the book is divided into those for whom White has deemed as being a, "Guru," in some manner. These are people whose lives have been changed because of his advice, which come from other, "Gurus."
Others have considered And Then a somewhat egotistical piece. We don't get that. No.
What other reviewers did not mention, well, we didn't read all of those reviews. But, on the whole. The African chapter was absolutely and profoundly wild. It stunned. We won't spoil that for you, though.
Seriously, this is one of the best books read for past two years.

I loved reading this! So much wisdom from a myriad of sources. It reminds me to continually pay attention to those around me and what they are offering to me with their words as well as their actions.
Thanks to NetGalley, the author and publisher for a copy of this excellent book in exchange for my honest review.
