A Pearl of a Book
This book is written in an informal narrative style. It contains numerous anecdotal stories that you really want to read, composed in a manner that that invites you to read them. This is the rare book that contains life lessons written as if being shared by a friend, which is a refreshing change from the masses of the supposedly inspirational works that come across as "preachy". It invokes the reader to examine their own life's lessons, and inspires a level of wisdom and sensibility in the reader that is so infrequently attained as we get caught in the grind of our daily lives without pause or reflection. Each of the "pearls" of wisdom brings to mind similar experiences that I have encountered, along with the lessons and personal growth that I gained from those experiences. I've enjoyed reading this book, and have re-read different passages of particular significance and importance to me. Karl Wiegers has a writing style that is so impressive that it makes me dread the end of book as the thickness of the pages held in my right hand becomes less than the left. I suppose that is where the real brilliance of the website applies; Karl has created an entire website that is dedicated to the readers and allows them to submit their own "pearls "and share with others. It rings true of the "pay it forward" concept, which in a way is Karl's lasting "pearl" to society. This is a wonderful idea, a fantastic book, and an excellent website. But I would have expected nothing less from Karl Wiegers, since everything that I have known him to produce has been more than worth my time and the price of admission. Karl, thank you and please keep your creative talents alive for the rest of us to enjoy and experience!

Insightful & Reflective! Highly Recommended.
Pearls from Sand is well written and each chapter is detailed with Karl Wieger's experience and thoughts. It's wonderful how Karl Wieger's describes each Pearl, and how each impacted him and the resulting effect on his life. The Pearls you'll find included are genuine pearls of wisdom that stick with you and think about on a daily basis. The chapter "Don't Sneeze On Your Spouse" has had a profound impact on me already in the way I approach my family, but many others have impacted me in my day-to-day business interactions and personal interactions. Karl Wieger's does not dissapoint with Pearls from Sand. It's a fantastic book with insight, a high level of personal and professional life experience, and lessons that anyone can learn from. I highly recommend this book.
