Andy Andrews

Andrews is a motivational speaker whose books mix parable with self-help: The Traveler's Gift sends a man who has lost everything through meetings with historical figures, each handing him a decision. The Butterfly Effect is a short illustrated piece on small actions with long consequences. His platform rests on an account of his own life, homeless and sleeping under a pier in his twenties before a mentor turned him around, which is self-reported and not independently documented. The speaking business is the larger part of the operation and the books feed it.
