Seize Your Destiny

Book excerpt: What lessons do you want to leave your children? George J. Chanos, Esq. served as Nevada's 31st Attorney General. In November of 2012, he suffered a major heart attack. It made him reflect upon his own mortality and sharpened his focus on what's truly important. It inspired him to reduce to writing what he considers to be life's most important lessons - lessons that he believes will help his family lead a happy, successful and meaningful life. These are those lessons. Seize Your Destiny represents the advice that he is sharing with his daughter and his nephew - both Millennials. As he began reducing his thoughts to writing, he realized that publishing this advice as a book could advance a broader purpose. It would allow him to make a contribution that might enrich the lives of other families - perhaps even entire communities. Seize Your Destiny is offered in that spirit and with that hope. Mr. Chanos has a common sense approach to dealing with problems and a unique ability to understand and explain complex issues. He also has a clear vision and uncommon insights concerning how anyone, regardless of circumstance, can overcome the challenges they face and go on to design and lead a happy, successful and meaningful life. Seize you Destiny provides that important insight and direction. Raphael Delgado is one of many young men who have been inspired by Seize Your Destiny. This is what he had to say after reading it; "I grew up in a broken home, raised by a single mom who had trouble keeping the lights on. I had a lot of emotional scarring. I was 19 and clueless in 2008 when my mom got laid off, but I knew I had to do something if I was going to be the man I wanted to be. It's been a difficult journey. Your book spoke to me like the father I never had. I now have a clear vision of my future. It's going to be about helping young people. Your book offers really great insights on important topics. I couldn't agree with you more. Thank you for writing it. - Raphael Delgado. For more information on the subjects covered in Seize Your Destiny, and on related topics, visit gjchanos.com.
