Review: He spent forty years on the roof of history, having ascended all the Everests of life-wealth, fame, love, respect, wisdom. And yet at every apex-and in the breath-taking descents that followed each-Solomon realized: Not only is it desolate at the top, but at the bottom and everywhere in-between. What have you found on your Everests? Perhaps you received the promotion, married the perfect mate, won the lottery, took the dream vacation, got the book published. But what did it get you? Something less than the joy you really desired, right? And deep within the quiet of your soul, something suggested that, once again, you had looked in the wrong place.
