Tickled Soul

AS WE REACH MIDLIFE, many of us begin to question certain aspects of our lives. New hobbies, homes, relationships, or even careers may beckon as we contemplate what comes next. For Keith Pochick, what began as a “what if” soon became a transition from seasoned and successful emergency physician to middle school science teacher. In this refreshingly candid and original self-help memoir, Pochick shares the beliefs, philosophy, and outlook that led him to follow his heart-and soul-to a major career transition in his forties. Touching upon life, love, eternal life, free will, motivation, and purpose, Pochick explores how each of these areas flowed into assertions of the theological and philosophical beliefs that shaped the course of his life. Tickled Soul is an invigorating wake-up call for anyone who is dissatisfied with their personal status quo and wondering if there’s more to human existence than what they’re currently experiencing.
