Der weißhaarige Jones taucht eines Tages bei dem jungen Andy auf, und später auch bei einigen anderen Frauen und Männern von Orange Beach, einer kleinen Stadt, in der es zugeht wie überall: Ehen kurz vor der Scheidung, junge Leute ohne Hoffnung, Geschäftsleute mit unsauberen Geschäften, alte Menschen ohne Freude. Durch Jones entdeckt einer nach dem anderen etwas verloren Geglaubtes: eine neue Perspektive. Manchmal muss man die Dinge nur ein bisschen anders sehen, fordert Jones resignierten Andy auf und hilft ihm zu sehen, was er bislang übersehen hat. Und der junge Mann, der früher unter der Brücke schlief, entdeckt Unglaubliches, er erlebt genauso Unglaubliches wie alle anderen auch. Irgendwann treffen sich alle und fragen sich: Wer ist der Mann mit dem Koffer, die nie zu altern scheint?

How do you get away with the murder of 11 million people? The answer is simple—and disturbing. You lie to them. Learn how you can become an informed, passionate citizen who demands honesty and integrity from your leaders in this updated and expanded edition of the original New York Times bestselling book.

In this updated and expanded nonpartisan New York Times bestselling book, Andy Andrews emphasizes that seeking and discerning the truth is of critical importance, and that believing lies is the most dangerous thing you can do. You’ll be challenged to become a more careful student of the past, seeking accurate, factual accounts of events that illuminate choices our world faces now.

By considering how the Nazi German regime was able to carry out over eleven million institutional killings between 1933 and 1945, Andrews advocates for an informed population that demands honesty and integrity from its leaders and from each other.

This thought-provoking book poses questions like:

• What happens to a society in which truth is absent?
• How are we supposed to tell the difference between the ‚Äúgood guys” and the ‚Äúbad guys‚Äù?
• How does the answer to this question affect our country, families, faith, and values?
• Does it matter that millions of ordinary citizens aren’t participating in the decisions that shape the future of our country?¬†
• Which is more dangerous: politicians with ill intent, or the too-trusting population that allows such people to lead them?

This is a wake-up call: we must become informed, passionate citizens or suffer the consequences of our own ignorance and apathy. We can no longer measure a leader’s worth by the yardsticks provided by the left or the right. Instead, we must use an unchanging standard: the pure, unvarnished truth.

How Do You Kill¬† 11 Million People? Or, to be precise, 11,283,000 people. Andy Andrews believes that good answers come only from asking the right questions. Through the powerful, provocative question, ‚ÄúHow do you kill¬†eleven million people?‚Äù‚Äîthe number of people killed by the Nazi German¬†regime between 1933 and 1945‚Äîhe explores a number of other questions¬†relevant to our lives today: (1) Does it matter that millions of ordinary citizens have checked out of participating in the decisions that shape the future of our country?¬†(2) Which is more dangerous: politicians with ill intent, or the too-trusting population that allows such people to lead them?¬†(3) How are we supposed to tell the difference between the ‚Äúgood guys”¬†and the ‚Äúbad guys‚Äù? (4) How does the answer to this question affect not only our country but our¬†families, our faith, and our values? (5) What happens to a society in which truth is absent? Andrews issues a wake-up call: become informed, passionate citizens who¬†demand honesty and integrity from our leaders, or suffer the consequences¬†of our own ignorance and apathy. Furthermore, we can no longer measure¬†a leader‚Äôs worth by the yardsticks provided by the left or the right. Instead,¬†we must use an unchanging standard: the pure, unvarnished truth.

As the town moves from spring to summer, a practical joker is becoming bolder and more inventive with every prank that is pulled. Could Jones be behind some of it? Why? What’s the truth about that four-hundred-pound table in his store? And why does it look as if every person Jones meets has a secret they will reveal only to him?

These three pieces of information inform a conclusion about every part of each of our lives. Yet it is these three pieces of information that most often set an insidious trap—a trap that has held the imaginations of generations captive to the belief that because they are doing the best they can do, they are accomplishing the best that can be done. And while each of these three statements are true, not one of them is the truth.

Through his unique and captivating storytelling, Andy helps you search for the reality that lies beyond the boundaries established in the name of “best practices,” “industry standards,” or “the way things are done.” For it’s at the bottom of the pool that you discover a pathway to extraordinary results that most people in your position do not even know are possible.

In an audiobook-exclusive bonus track, producer Gabe Wicks sits down to have a humorous conversation with Andy Andrews, where they discuss writing, characters, and what it means to narrate your own audiobook.

A New York Times bestseller! From the author of The Traveler’s Gift comes a story of common wisdom based on the remarkable true story of “Jones,” a mysterious old man who has a knack for showing up in people’s lives at just the right time, providing priceless lessons about love, life, and the importance of perspective.

Orange Beach, Alabama, is a simple town filled with simple people. But like all humans on the planet, the good folks of Orange Beach have their share of problems–marriages teetering on the brink of divorce, young adults giving up on life, businesspeople on the verge of bankruptcy, as well as the many other obstacles that life seems to dish out to the masses.

These situations can seem like dead ends, but to an old drifter named Jones with a gift for seeing what others miss, there is no such thing as a dead end. It only takes a little “perspective,” he says, to recognize the miracles in our moments, the seeds of greatness tucked into our struggles.

Appearing when things look darkest, the mysterious, elderly man with white hair carrying a battered old suitcase shows up when he’s needed most. “Your time on this earth is a gift to be used wisely,” he says. “Don’t squander your words or your thoughts. Consider even the simplest action you take, for your lives matter beyond measure…and they matter forever.”

The Noticer will provide you with:

• A better understanding of life’s challenges and proper perspective for tackling them
• Practical yet powerful methods of motivation, encouragement, and resolve for those struggling
• A fresh and insightful perspective on how people can change their view of the world, find strength, and move beyond their problems

Based on a remarkable true story, The Noticer beautifully blends fiction and allegory in an entertaining and inspiring instruction manual for better living. The story of Jones continues in The Noticer Returns and Just Jones.

From New York Times bestselling author Andy Andrews comes the sequel to The Noticer! In the quiet coastal town of Fairhope, Alabama, a mysterious old man named Jones has set up shop to do the one thing he knows best—“noticing” the little things that make a big difference in people’s lives. Perspective is a powerful thing.

Through a chance encounter at a local bookstore, Andy Andrews is reunited with the man who changed everything for him— Jones, also known as “The Noticer.”

Jones uses his unique talent of noticing the little things that make a big difference. And these little things grant the people of Fairhope, Alabama, a life-changing gift—perspective.

Through the lens of a parenting class at the Grand Hotel in Point Clear, Jones guides a seemingly random group to ask specific questions inspired by his curious advice: “You can’t believe everything you think.” The questions lead to answers for which people have been searching for centuries:

• How do we begin to change the culture in which we live?
• What is the key to creating a life of success and value?
• What if what we think is the end‚Ķis only the beginning?

Along the way families are united and financial opportunities created, leaving the residents with powerfully simple solutions to the everyday problems we all face. What starts as a story of one person’s everyday reality unfolds into the extraordinary principles available to anyone seeking to change their life.

Jones’ adventures continue in book three of The Noticer series: Just Jones.
