THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT book review

                                                      Butterfly Effect

"Every single thing you do matters.  You have been created as one of a kind.  You have been created in order to make a difference.  You have within you the power to change the world."
Andy Andrews

The Butterfly Effect shows how your everyday actions can make a difference for generations to come. Through inspiring stories, The Butterfly Effect, by Andy Andrews, shares the secret of a life of permanent purpose, where every decision and action you make in life matters, not only today, but for the future. 

When you understand that every action matters, every result of our actions immediately improves! A life of permanent purpose will make you a better parent, a better spouse and a more valuable friend. The Butterfly Effect illustrates the unique power of the individual. 

When Andy Andrews was 23, homeless and scared, he was given guidance by an old man named Jones: "When you know that everything matters...that every move counts as much as any other...you will begin living a life of permanent purpose, which will make you a better parent, a better spouse, and a more valuable friend.  Your productivity and financial success will soar to new heights while the old days of uncertainty, doubt, and depression fade into the past."


That conversation changed Andy Andrews.  It became the guiding force that produced the kind of author and speaker he has become.  
"When we understand that every action matters, every result of our actions immediately improves," said Andrews.  Our decisions become wiser and more cautious when we live a life of permanent purpose.  


If you're wondering how significant your life is or if you make a difference.  If you question whether the universe even notices your existence, then you should read this small but mighty book, The Butterfly Effect.

"In 1963, Edward Lorenz presented a hypothesis to the New York Academy of Science.  His theory, stated simply, was that:

A butterfly could flap its wings and set molecules of air in motion, which would move other molecules of air, in turn moving more molecules of air--eventually capable of starting a hurricane on the other side of the planet.


Lorenz and his ideas were literally laughed out of the conference...Therefore because of the idea's charm and intrigue, the so-called butterfly effect became a staple of science fiction, remaining for decades a combination of myth and legend spread only by comic books and bad movies."


More than 30 years later, physics professors working from colleges and universities worldwide concluded that the butterfly effect was authentic, accurate, and viable.  Today it is known as The Law of Sensitive Dependence Upon Initial Conditions.

The Butterfly Effect is a series of short stories about people who made decisions and discoveries that affected billions of people for centuries to come. 


But the greatest story within its pages is your story: "There are generations yet unborn whose very lives will be shifted and shaped by the moves you make and the actions you take today.  And tomorrow.  And the next day.  And the next...You have been created in order that you might make a difference...Your life and what you do with it today...matters forever."
