{"product_id":"9781623092474","title":"My Druthers: If You Could Change The World, What Would You Do?","description":"If you could change the world, what would you do? On the occasion of my 55th birthday, I resolved to\u003cbr\u003ewrite my druthers. I’ve always been a “change the world” kind of guy. At 55, I’m finally ready to stop beating my head against the wall, or at least do it with far less regularity.\u003cbr\u003eInstead I have decided to work on the perfect plan, from my perspective of course. But then who else’s perspective could I write from? If America worked the way it is supposed to work, then my plan, my opinion, should count just as much as anybody else’s. The fact is that if I had gazillions of dollars, then my opinion would count for something significant. It should be enough that I am a citizen, resident of the county Burleigh, the state North Dakota, of these United.\u003cbr\u003eAlthough we have the right to free speech, it takes a lot of the joy out of it, when no one’s listening.\u003cbr\u003eHence, the druthers. I remember it as a phrase my fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Conroy used to say, “If I had my druthers. . . .” Well I do. I hope you will read my druthers and be inspired to start your own. If we both work towards making our druthers reality, the world will be a better place.","brand":"BookBaby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134565695728,"sku":"9781623092474","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781623092474_p0.jpg?v=1763859985","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781623092474","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
