Hell's Heaven: A Metamorphosis in Costa Rica
()
About this ebook
I attended the University of Massachusetts and a computer electronics class at Benjamin Franklin Institute, where IBM hired me. After 20 years in the world of high technology, I became disillusioned with corporate life and moved with my family to Costa Rica, where I had the pleasure of meeting a man named Dr. Deepak Chopra, who contacted me and invited my wife and I to join him at his private lunch with the presidential candidate of Costa Rica during his one-day conference. How?
People always ask me: “Why, after 17 years, did you return from the paradise of Costa Rica to the U.S.?”
This is my true story.
Anthony Florence
Anthony grew up imagining he would never scale his ghetto walls. After he won an academic award in the sixth grade, his mother and a white family sent him on a life-changing journey of no return—so they thought. Join Anthony as he navigates the culture shock from the ghetto of Roxbury, Massachusetts, to a private boarding school in Connecticut and the New York corporate world, before finally embarking on the adventure he thought would be his paradise dream in Central America.
