Steve Bartlett has lived a full and meaningful life, "a life well-lived." From growing up on a farm in Central Texas to serving in the U.S. Congress, as Mayor of Dallas, and as CEO in the financial services industry, he has led with purpose at every step. In this book, he shares his journey through bite-sized stories, AH HA! moments filled with lessons and guiding values.
Each AH HA! moment unfolds through the real people who shaped his life and leadership: George W. Bush, Ronald Reagan, Ann Richards, Mother Teresa, his wife Gail, and many others.
Inside, you will find memorable stories, including:

• When Ann Richards called President Bill Clinton to jump-start approval of NAFTA
• The breakfast where George W. Bush confided he would buy a baseball team rather than run for governor
• The first words Gail (his wife) ever said to Steve (Hint: it was not "I love you")
• The lawnmower accident that may have saved Steve's life
• The White House picnic when six-year-old son Brian tapped Ronald Reagan to say, "Hi, remember me?"
• The final provision Steve added to the ADA, ensuring Congress was included in its coverage
• Police Chief Rathburn declaring there would be no more excessive force by the Dallas Police Department
• Daughter Allison's "helluva party" in Washington that resulted in an eviction notice
• A spiritual revelation from Jesus' "Feed My Sheep" message, echoed years later by Mother Teresa
• The moment Steve "educated" Ronald Reagan on education reform
• A campaign strategy session where Jim Oberwetter ordered Steve, "Sit down and do not speak"

And many more. Each story carries a lesson. Each lesson carries a purpose.
Read. Enjoy. Reflect. Be inspired to live your own life well-lived.
