Speaker and New York Times best-selling author Andy Andrews shares a compelling and powerful story about a decision one man made over a hundred years ago, and the ripple effect it’s had on us individually, and nationwide, today. It’s a story that will inspire courage and wisdom in the decisions we make, as well as affect the way we treat others through our lifetime. Andrews speaks over 100 times a year, and The Butterfly Effect is his #1 most requested story.

This is a beautiful gift book, with a visually captivating layout and design.

The story itself is based on the now familiar principle that every tiny thing can really change the world – if a butterfly flaps its wings, a hurricane can happen on the other side of the world.

Andy Andrews uses this idea to drive home the point that every little thing you do – no matter how insignificant the thing is, or how insignificant you think you are – makes a difference. He points out the importance of this thinking shift in our daily life, our families, and in business.

The primary story is interesting enough – you’ll hear about a farmer, a Vice-President, a Nobel Laureate, and the child of a freed slave… But there are several other true tales, as well, which I actually found even more intriguing.

It’s a quick and easy read, not a big self-help book or treatise. But if you simply take it for what it is, it’s a wonderful little gem.

Be sure to check out my review of the children’s book based on this concept, The Boy Who Changed the World.
