About the Book
When Dewey sells his business and retires from full-time work at age fifty, he starts visiting the library. It’s there that he meets a wise man named Mike who enjoys reading actual, tangible books. “Here on the search for wisdom, are you?” is the first question Mike asks. Dewey does not know it at the time, but he’ll be seeing lots more of Mike—who’ll end up having a profound impact on his life. Mike recognizes that Dewey is on a “sage’s journey,” which is life’s sixth and final stage. “It is here that the leader has relinquished or given up his control, and instead searches for wisdom and insight so that he may provide this to others,” he says. Mike agrees to serve as Dewey’s tour guide on the journey and gives him an Axiom coin with special markings and words. Dewey soon learns that the coin is magic and will allow him to meet and talk with many people who have walked down a path to gain wisdom. Join Dewey as he uses his magical coin to travel through time, meeting interesting characters who help him achieve his destiny.
