Tom North’s TRUE NORTH showcases his journey to find true direction in his life.
All that glitters is not gold.
We’ve heard that so much we don’t think about how the truth of those words feel for those who have to live them. Just ask Tom North. He was part of a blended family that may have appeared to be whole, but in truth was full of cracks caused by insecurities, abuse and feelings of hopelessness. In his book TRUE NORTH we are able to see beyond the veil to the lives of those that were directly affected by a tumultuous upbringing and how the residual effects caused problems they could not have expected.
For Tom there was hope, and it came in the understanding and the yearning for something larger than himself. He found solace in meditation and in discovering the importance of a spiritual awakening—and that was what he needed to not just follow his own path but eventually try to bring together those that he loved the most.
TRUE NORTH allow us to see that no matter what circumstances we find ourselves in there is nothing that we can’t overcome if we are willing to do the work. Tom was willing to do what was necessary, even though it wasn’t easy. He was able to thrive, allowing us to see that so could we.
