Peaks and Valleys

A young man living unhappily in a valley meets an old man who lives on a mountain peak. Through their encounters and conversations, the young man discovers that he can apply the old man's principles and practical tools to improve his own life. Spencer Johnson uses a parable format to convey lessons about staying calm and successful during challenging times. Johnson's previous works include The One Minute Manager (co-written with Ken Blanchard), which sold 15 million copies and remained on the New York Times bestseller list for over twenty years, and Who Moved My Cheese?, which has sold more than 25 million copies since its publication a decade ago. In total, more than 46 million copies of Johnson's books are in print across forty-seven languages.
