The Decisions We Live By

About the Book

Happiness is, in large part, the result of a few key decisions made at strategic points in our life cycle. In this book, Dr. Bierbaum describes the “decision points” that define our lives and produce ripple effects in the lives of others. He proposes a formula for making decisions that are practical in their application. Drawing upon a wealth of real-life experiences, he leads the reader to discover where key decision points have occurred in their own lives to predict those that yet lie ahead and to develop strategies for making wise decisions.

About the Author

Agnes Bierbaum received her MA in Speech Pathology from the University of Missouri in 1965. She worked as a speech pathologist in the public schools and as a supervisor of student clinicians. After retiring in 1989, she continued to work part-time and also became actively involved in volunteering. An interest in music led her to settings where she could use her violin to bring enjoyment and entertainment to young and old. She and her husband presented dulcimer programs in nursing homes, state parks, and nature centers. They taught line dancing at retirement villages, church functions, and elder day care centers. Volunteering became an integral part of their lifestyle in retirement.
