Travelling around the world is an experience, one that encompasses not only taking in the breathtaking views of new places and new sights but also, more importantly, the headiness of interacting with people and hearing and listening to their life experiences. The Core Essence is a collection of 10 short stories based on anecdotes that were recounted to the author by people of many nationalities and in many different cities. People sitting together in a restaurant, at a bar, in the park; total strangers sharing their life experiences with an empathetic and kindly listener. Sometimes poignant and sometimes pensive and sometimes outright funny, these tales will evoke a myriad emotions, but in all of them, the core essence of life and living will shine through. This is a deeply satisfying and thought-provoking book that will highlight how we all travel through life with similar experiences and that we must learn to understand and connect with each other at a deeper level than we tend to do.
