Find Yourself by Helping Others�Life Lessons from an Extraordinary Story of Sacrifice and Survival
In the winter of 1939, five-year-old Andrew Bienkowski was exiled to Siberia with his family. The two years of struggle that followed�especially his grandfather's amazing act of sacrifice during their first long, cold winter�have informed the rest of Andrew's life. Thanks to his devoted mother, his quick-witted grandmother, and the unexpected kindness of strangers, Andrew established an approach to life that emphasizes helping others as the essential path to finding our greatest human fulfillment.
