The true story of Barry Hartley’s Life Proves Everyone Can Live a Purposeful, Meaningful Existence.  From his humble beginnings living in an Australian log cabin to his career as an international business executive, Barry Hartley is proof that where you come from doesn’t determine your future. By releasing his compelling autobiography, Hartley hopes to help others see that life’s bigger picture is all that really matters.  Married at 17 and three children in three years, working two jobs, driving taxis. Studying electronics and later running his own company. Extensive international travel both private and for business. Negotiating with an international government to buy gold bullion for a group of US banks.  Learning Mandarin Chinese and the visits that followed and then the seemingly insignificant details of family ups and downs and the meaning of living a life that really does matter.
