Part story, part practical wisdom, The Man Who Sharpened Stones explores the power of asking why, the discipline of honest self-examination, and the surprising discovery that real success is not a place you arrive.

​

In the tradition of The Go-Giver and Who Moved My Cheese?, The Man Who Sharpened Stones is a modern business fable set in the city of Prescott, where Ray's journey toward continuous improvement unfolds through five memorable friends and advisers, each one pushing him in a different direction, a devoted wife who keeps him grounded, and a retired consultant named Nona who has a gift for asking exactly the question he has been avoiding.

It is a direction you choose, every ordinary day, when nothing forces you to.

Written for the established professional who has already built something good

and is ready to ask what it could become.
