Jim Perry spent decades on television as a game show and contest host. The title for this book comes from the old joke about the enthusiasm and optimism of the boy shoveling away at the odorous pile, “because there’s gotta be a pony in there somewhere.”
Jim Perry considers the possibility that there is a “pony” in every moment of your life, and the ‘mastery’ of the subtitle is the seven steps to wisdom and wholeness in life:
You grow when you face your life without fear
You grow when you take responsibility for your life
You grow when you feel what comes upon you without judgment
You grow when you recognize that life is a journey and you have no reason for guilt or shame
You grow when you live your life consciously, for conscious living is the greatest of all meditations
You grow when you live your life in truth
And most of all, you grow when you love what you are
Through parables, stories , easy reading and digestible “peanuts” of life lessons, PONY takes the reader from “here” to a higher “there.”
