Stories of Uncle Adrian is organized into six areas of mastery and there are six lessons in each area. Each lesson is taught using a quote and story from my Uncle Adrian and a real life example from one of my clients. Each section ends with a call to action asking the reader to make positive changes in their life.
Here is an overview of the six areas of mastery:
Physical Mastery
No one can do your pushups for you.
If you are not master of your body, you cannot possibly be master of your life. In this chapter there are lessons about diet and exercise that will help the reader understand how to improve their physical body. Uncle Adrian makes it come to life with stories like A Parrot for Christmas and Shall We Gather at the River.

Mastery in Business
“If it was easy, everybody would do it.”
I started my first business at the age of 16 and my first corporation at the age of 21 so there are very few mistakes you can make in business that I have not already experienced. With Uncle Adrian’s help I found solutions for the problems. In this chapter the reader will learn from Uncle Adrian’s 60 years in business, how to sell more, get to know their customers and deliver world class customer service by reading stories like Funeral for a Dog, The Bear in the Woods and The Stuttering Bible Salesman.
Mastering Your Finances
To make ends meet, you have to get off of one of them.
Financial independence is the ability to wake up in the morning with the time, health, knowledge, friends, passion and financial freedom and to do what you want to do that day. In this chapter Uncle Adrian demonstrates how to save more money, define wealth and determine the greatest investment in the world with stories like A Loan for a Frog and The Pickle Jar.

Conclusion: Becoming Master of Your Own Life
Think different, get different results.
Becoming the master of your own life is a process of managing change. By managing the changes that occur in your life, you are always in a state of becoming. Every day we grow and change to match what we think we should be. Most people’s lives will be the same tomorrow as they are today because they think the same way day after day. To change your life you have to change the way you think.
