Historia corta pero de mucho valor. Trata de Emmy, una lemming que se opone a saltar el precipicio como todos los demás lemmings. Lenny se acerca a ella y sabe que él tampoco quiere saltar, pero no sabe por qué razón no quieren.
Cuestionan a los lemmings, se encuentran con el grupo N.O.S.A.L.T.O. y lo dejan (ellos no quieren saltar pero no saben explicar por qué no quieren saltar).
Un día, estando al borde del precipicio, Emmy mira un arbol al otro lado, y decide usar una gran resortera para llegar allá. A partir de ese día, Emmy vive creando nuevas ideas y Lenny se queda como motivador, convenciendo a los demás lemmings de encontrar sentido a sus vidas y no saltar y morir.
Al final del libro habla de encontrar Propósito a tu vida (Qué es lo que quieres lograr) y Visión (Cómo lo vas a lograr).

A book about personal mastery. It guides you to look at your vision and purpose in life. Don't just conform to the things in life. Challenge yourself to think beyond and bring yourself to go against the current to achieve things that it's beyond your wildest imaginations. One of those books that you will bring it along on a retreat alone and rethink or reflect about your own life.
very insightful. yet another testament why we should NEVER follow blindly what others do, even if those people are people "at the very top" cos it may be suicide for you but a benefit for others.
