About this ebook

Rarely does a first time novelist break out with such compelling characters whose tragic and triumphant stories (though they are complete strangers) are woven so seamlessly into a plot filled with twists and turns in nearly every chapter.

BECOMING is a phenomenal piece of literature that, though fictional, will strike a cord with anyone who has ever asked, Why are we here, and what are we supposed to be doing?

Bill Magnusson

Bill Magnusson is a surprising source for this book.  He is not an academic—he is a successful financial advisor with a long business background.  With a Columbia MBA and a string of other letters after his name—CLU, CFP—in his “day job” he helps executives, business owners, and individuals protect and grow their financial assets.  But his thoughts go much deeper than just money.  He has always been interested in philosophy and its practical use in life.  Thirty years ago, he read a book written by a philosophy professor who was also a close friend.  He realized that this unknown philosopher had discovered what makes life meaningful, and he had found a way to communicate it to people—a way so direct and engaging—that the ideas truly could change how people understand the meaning of their lives.  After studying the ideas for decades, Magnusson decided to write a new story, incorporating the ideas, for today’s reader.
