Market luminary and author of Why Gold? Why Now? and The Tucker Letter shares the story of his path from troubled teen to business success. This touching collection of stories reveals trying times for a bright young boy unaware of his alternative learning style. Born in rural eastern North Carolina to a structure ill-suited for nonconformists, he was outcast from day one. Tucker reveals what it's like to grow up under harsh religious zealotry, rigid cultural norms, and a fear-based regime. Then to transition to what he slowly learned is a magical life, not to be missed. His emancipation from highly controlled systems evokes the uncontainable spirit in all of us. The small voice within that tells us we have something special, and important to share with the world. When we do, we're happy, and often successful. From day one we're up against parents, teachers, bosses, and a society that needs us to be a certain way...for its convenience. Not For Sale walks the bumpy road of independence. Step by step, you'll see every part of the journey. It may be the encouragement you need to walk your own unique path.
