Gaston Levy - Beyond the Soul - CANCELED

Start: Nov 10 2010 7:30 pm

We regret to inform you that Gaston Levy suffered a heart attack this past weekend and obviously will be unable to present his book, Beyond the Soul. We wish him a speedy and full recovery and look forward to rescheduling his event as soon as he is well again.

Gaston Levy narrates his childhood memories of Egypt; the warm family gatherings, the dishes cooked by his mother with their aromatic smells, and the sounds and sights of the Egyptian lifestyle at the time in Beyond the Soul (iUniverse, $25.95). Levy then takes us on his harrowing exodus from Egypt for Brazil. He shares his initial challenges in this unknown land and talks about his life in Rio de Janeiro, then in Canada. He finally ends his journey in Boston, where he is given a permanent transfer to his company's headquarters there. He discusses his move up the demanding management staircase, one step at a time, honing his leadership skills at every level. He finally arrives at the top of corporate America, where he deals face to face with his Board of Directors, the investment bankers, and Wall Street analysts. This boy from Alexandria invites us into his innermost thoughts and feelings, showing how he was able to develop a new concept of life, its meaning and its purpose thanks to Logosophy, the science of self-knowledge. 7:30pm
