The Meaning of Love...Upcoming Interview Excerpt...

Upcoming interview for Mentor Me by Ken Poirot

Excerpt - timely - about the meaning of love:

What book(s) have most influenced you?

"I have a special affinity for 'Le Petit Prince' by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. I first read it in French class and I was amazed by the timelessness of this 'children’s story,' as well as its meaning for life and adults.

There is one part in particular with respect to love and relationships that has always stayed with me. In summary, it is the section where the little prince finds a garden filled with roses similar in appearance to his rose. At this moment he realizes, even though his rose is not the only rose in the universe, she is unique to him because he has cared for her and he loves her. He tells his rose he has tamed her and cared for her, and because of this, now in his eyes she is the only, unique rose in existence.

Isn’t that the most perfect and romantic description of true, unconditional love?

I have carried that with me throughout my life, as far as what love means, and also the responsibility you carry for someone else’s heart when you have both 'tamed' each other. I also read this section (in French and translated it for our guests) at my rehearsal dinner the night before my wedding.

Later in life, I learned Antoine de Saint-Exupéry wrote 'Le Petit Prince' while on vacation in my hometown community, and literally at the house next door to my first serious girlfriend’s home (where I spent a couple years of my life through the time I spent there with her). So I have a very special connection and affinity for this book; it has greatly influenced me."

Mentor Me: Self-Help and Business Book with Additional Themes

The Concept of a Self-Help and Business Book

Mentor Me, Mentor Me Gate, Ken Poirot, Author Ken Poirot, Self-Help, Self-Help Book, Business, Business Book, Additional ThemesWhen I wrote Mentor Me: GA=T+E—A Formula to Fulfill Your Greatest Achievement, I wanted to make sure it fulfilled its mission as a self-help, self-improvement, personal success, mentoring, coaching, and business book. From a superficial reading people have called it “succinct,” “real-world practical,” “easy-to-read,” and “relatable.”


Additionally, I wanted to write a book that could be referred back to over and over again, becoming an integral part of someone’s life. In contrast to many self-help or business books in the marketplace, “Mentor Me” is very personal and ultimately different for each reader.


There is an individualized, interactive nature to “Mentor Me,” whereas the reader defines their own life goal(s) and makes their own blueprint to achieve it (them) with the help/guidance of the tools provided within the pages of “Mentor Me.”


 


 


The Surprise and Secret of Mentor Me


Mentor Me, Mentor Me Gate, Ken Poirot, Author Ken Poirot, Self-Help, Self-Help Book, Business Book, Business, Additional ThemesThe biggest surprise to me is that not one review written about “Mentor Me” has mentioned or picked up on the additional themes intentionally embedded in the book. It seems when people read a “typical” self-help or business book they are pre-programmed to read superficially, missing the sometimes blunt and mostly subtle additional themes written into this “self-help and business book.”


For example, less than subtle themes are addressed in the Preface of “Mentor Me.” These additional themes, such as, the meaning of life, religion, and heaven/hell, to name just a few, were intentionally placed there to alert readers that there is so much more going on in this book than merely a “self-help and business book.”


Who addresses the meaning of life in the Preface of their book? Hmmm…can you see there may be a lot more to this succinct book than just a “typical” self-help and business book? In the Kindle version I do take readers down one of these paths through a link to my blog on the concept of Newton’s Law of Conservation of Energy and Quantum Entanglement.


Not Just a Self-Help and Business Book

 


Mentor Me, Mentor Me Gate, Author Ken Poirot, Ken Poirot, Self-Help, Self-Help Book, Business, Business Book, Additional ThemesSo what is “Mentor Me,” really? Yes, on a superficial level it is a self-help, self-improvement, mentoring, coaching, personal success, and business book. It fulfills the role of these genres. On a whole other level it is the crossroads and convergence of where science, metaphysics, religion, and utopian society intersect.


The fun for me when I wrote “Mentor Me” was to see what people thought of it initially; for me to see if anyone commented or picked up on these subtle (and some not so subtle) additional themes.


I always had in mind the ability to speak publicly about “Mentor Me,” later, after people had originally read it as just a superficial, “typical” self-help and business book. Then I could send readers back with additional themes in mind, to re-read it through a new lens.


So in effect, “Mentor Me” is a bit of a literary chameleon. When armed with the search for additional themes, each reader will most likely walk away with their own personal experience and ideas, much like when they first read “Mentor Me” as just a self-help and business book.


So if you have already read “Mentor Me,” it’s time to go back and re-read it from a new and deeper perspective searching for additional themes. I will be interested to see what readers say and write in reviews, when looking at the book from this new perspective.

"Mentor Me" Book Review:

"Yes, there are plenty of bestselling gurus willing to show you the way, but few make it so readily relatable as Poirot.

Insightful but above all else practical in its application, Mentor Me provides the tools for personal change and achievement and is deserving of your attention. It is highly recommended."
