Lewis, is proving to be a favorite with libraries nationally and internationally.

T.W. Lewis' book won the Literary Titan Gold Medal Book Award and Pinnacle Book Achievement Award in the Self-Help category. He combines new research with the wisdom of the ages as each section is headed by a proper quote, helping to bring home the primary message that finding "what YOU want is the key element in your life." Lewis implores his readers to "stop waiting and get on with it" by constantly assessing and gauging the risk-rewards for the next move; be sure to find and maximize your talents and strengths while shoring up weaknesses and shortcomings. Don't be afraid to asked for help, but in doing so avoid "losing yourself in the process." T.W. Lewis took lessons learned from family, friends and business associates in the creation of a unique and inspiring roadmap for life.
One Amazon reviewer said this: "The author puts emphasis on the fact that a search for meaning and purpose needs to lead to something that is worthy as opposed to something that is just based on, 'I want to be famous,' or 'I want to be the richest person on the planet' for example."

Another aspect which sets this book apart are continual reminders of where business practices and values came from and what they mean for a company and everyone affected by their existence. Truly a self-made man, Lewis used his grit, determination, and a little luck to overcome the odds and to build the "solid ground" on which his future success would rest.
"I wrote this book because young adults today are getting bad advice about how to succeed," Lewis says. "I want to show them a better way. When it comes to being successful in life, having good judgment and making good decisions are far more important than just being smart."
The T.W. Lewis Company has received numerous national awards, including America's Best Builder and the National Housing Quality Gold Award. Lewis received a Lifetime Achievement recognition from Professional Builder magazine and was named the first inductee into the National Housing Quality Hall of Fame.
"In today's media-driven, anything-goes culture," says Lewis, "we seem to be losing sight of solid ground—the time-tested attributes of personal character, hard work, goal setting, self-awareness, and helping others—that have always been necessary for a successful life. Popular myths are now attempting to redefine everything, and the 'solid ground' is being replaced with the 'shifting sands' of instant gratification, self-absorption, and consumerism."
Solid Ground shatters the popular myths in today's culture about how to create a successful life. By reminding us of the time-tested principles of personal character, hard work, goal setting, self-awareness, and helping others that seem to have gotten lost, Solid Ground explains and celebrates the real building blocks of a successful career and life.
