The Traveler's Gift, by Andy Andews
This is a wonderful book, it's about a guy who's just lost his job, his kid is sick and his feeling pretty suicidal, he ends up trying to crash his car, and ends up in a dreamlike state where he meets several historical figures, Anne Frank, King Solomon, Christopher Columbus and another character who's name is escaping me, but was a Civil War figure from Maine. Each person he meets imparts some wisdom to him -
Basic gist of the book, the buck stops with me, I control my destiny. It's definitely a must read for everyone (to date, I've given away at least 10 copies of this book to people)
