Inspiration and Motivation
There are plenty of reasons why Stuart Gustafson should not have been inspired or motivated. Both his dad
and grandpa were killed by a drunk driver when Stuart was 16; life's circumstances had just dealt him a
terrible situation. One of his two brothers was also in that car, and he was severely injured. Stuart wasn't in the
car, but he was also injured, just not physically. Being in a military family, Stuart was reared with a make-do
attitude, and it was this strong attitude that helped him grow and mature during those difficult times.
Fast forward 40 years -- Stuart has earned a Bachelor's degree and a Master's degree, and he has enjoyed a
professional career in high technology. Married for more than thirty years, he and his wife Darlene are the
proud parents of a daughter and a son. Stuart is also teaching college courses, and he has just published his
first book Parables for Life in the 21st Century.
Continuing with the inspiration that he got from this first book, Stuart realizes there was a lot that he was never
able to ask his own dad. One Sunday morning in April 2005, he starts jotting down questions that he wish he'd
been able to ask his dad. Questions to Bring You Closer to Dad was the first in a three-book series of
nationally published books that helps solidify the relationship with someone very important to you. Questions
to Bring You Closer to Mom and Questions to Bring You Closer to Grandma & Grandpa have also been
received with warmth and appreciation. Click here for more information about his books; you can preview
them online for free!
Stuart has since retired from the corporate world, but he continues to write, to teach, and to be active in church
activities. He also speaks so that others can learn from his inspiration and motivation. His primary focus is
that you gain something that will enable you to be a stronger person who knows what to do and who knows
what the right thing is to do -- they can be the same thing. And as America's International Travel Expert who
has flown over 1,000,000 miles to 26 different countries, he has lots of tips to help anyone be a better traveler
-- AND save money while enjoying your travels. Stuart speaks to small groups as well as to large groups.

Stuart's latest book, a mystery novel called Missing in Mexico, is primarily set in San Jose del Cabo, at the tip
of Mexico's Baja California peninsula. The riveting story centers around a college freshman who has not
returned from Mexico after a family Christmas vacation, and the private investigator who is hired to find her.
More than just a mystery story, Missing in Mexico also introduces the reader to the culture, the charm, and the
language of the Los Cabos region. Click here for more information about the book.
