- Has anyone ever told you the secret to success is to focus on one, and only one career?
- Have you been called scattered or flaky because you in fact embraced and engaged with multiple passions in your life?
In RenWomen: What Modern Renaissance Women Have to Teach Us About Living Rich, Fulfilling Lives Dale Griffiths Stamos explores the lives and lessons of sixteen remarkable multifaceted, multi-talented women who have embraced life’s challenges, often overcoming daunting odds, to fulfill their highest potential. These compelling stories of adventure, commitment, heartbreak, and inspiration will keep readers turning pages, and will inspire women to pursue their own abundant “Ren” life.
