About the Author John Leslie believes that every ordinary event that occurs, every circumstance we face, every action that we take, has something to teach us, if we simply notice. StarBeams are stories of ordinary events seen from John Leslie’s unique perspective. They encourage readers to get out of their thinking ruts, to transcend their unexamined habits and beliefs, to see their world through a different lens, and to find those hidden lessons. Each StarBeam is an inquiry, challenging readers to adopt a new perspective for looking at the world.
