FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Silicon Valley entrepreneur, investor, philanthropist and inventor, Jon Fisher, to release new book, I Took the Only Path to See You: A Guide to Finding Professional Success Without Sacrificing Personal Happiness, on September 22nd

The book's publication follows Fisher's inaugural release of the first-ever author trading card NFT (Non-Fungible Token), auctioned in April 2021 (Publisher's Weekly)

Hoboken, NJ (September 9, 2021) - To Silicon Valley entrepreneur, investor, philanthropist, speaker and inventor, Jon Fisher, the road to true success begins with personal happiness. In Fisher's upcoming book, inspired by his viral commencement speech at The University of San Francisco, I Took the Only Path to See You, Fisher shares his advice to achieve the highest levels of professional success without sacrificing personal happiness.

Rather than pushing the career advice to 'hustle' and 'grind,' Fisher shares what's possible when you put your family, friends, relationships, and values first. The book includes stories of people who have achieved tremendous success without losing sight of the importance of personal relationships, family connection, and moral character. Through a combination of personal stories and insights from entrepreneurs, entertainers, musicians, and professional athletes, Fisher proves that what really matters in our lives are the connections we forge with the people we love and the contributions we make to their worlds and futures.

Earlier this year in anticipation of the book's release, Fisher created and auctioned off the first-ever author trading card NFT (Non-Fungible Token), that featured text from the commencement speech that inspired the book. The NFT, the first of it's kind, was reported by Publisher's Weekly and the proceeds were donated to charity.

I Took the Only Path to See You is currently available for pre-order and will be available wherever books and eBooks are sold on September 22nd.
