So Many Breaths, So Many Lives

In his memoir, “So Many Breaths, So Many Lives,” that reads like a novel, Paul Lawrence Woodring Jr. draws on his forty-two years of experience in high technology businesses as he provides a roadmap for success in today’s business world and high technology society. Mr. Woodring traces his life story from being a small African American child born prematurely in Cleveland, Ohio to his role as the President of the Hospital Division of a major medical device company. He organizes this life story around eleven tenets of success that he asserts will maximize an individual’s chances of succeeding in business and in life. He starts by insisting that we overcome the fear of not proceeding because we don’t know how we are going to accomplish our goals, or teleophobia, as he calls it. This memoir is a must read for anyone trying to determine how they can escape today’s uncertain corporate business world and build their own business.
