Neal Engstrom is a Harvard graduate and Stanford MBA. He traveled the world and worked as a flight instructor and skydive jump pilot prior to becoming a commercial real estate professional. In 2006 he founded real estate investment firm, Engstrom Realty Fund. He and his wife of 27 years, Giselle, have raised three children and reside in Southern California.
During the Covid pandemic, I wrote the book I would have loved to have stumbled upon during my senior year of college or received as a graduation gift. A book containing a framework for thinking about life after school, and a manual for pursuing continuous personal fulfillment.
Over the years I had filled an old cigar humidor with observational notes scribbled on cocktail napkins and scraps of paper. For one hundred days during the Covid lockdown, I took a long walk and wrote a two-page essay based on those notes to create the book you hold in your hands.
Our lives consist of five stages—adventures, mission, family, tribe, legacy—each building upon one another. YOUR LIFEPATH contains a framework for self-discovery, and a roadmap for achieving personal fulfillment throughout each of the life stages. Fulfillment will ultimately be accomplished by figuring out what we were born to do and spending our lives doing it.
