Breaking it Down and Connecting the Dots (2017)
This book contains a selection of blog posts I have written during the past five years on family life, organization behavior, rhetorical rabbit holes, music, public policy, sports, dogs, diversity, Christianity, President Trump, and a few other things. Each essay contains fewer than 750 words.
Many of these essays focus on lessons drawn from experiences interviewing for jobs, raising stepkids, playing music, training New York City taxi drivers, watching sports, shepherding dogs, finding common ground on abortion, leading diversity programs, and loving my wife. Others are based on my reactions to opinion pieces written by thought leaders from across the political spectrum. A few meander into snarky satire. Most suggest that common ground does exist if we can find the patience, skill, and grace to create it.
The book is divided into nine sections. I encourage you to focus first on those sections that interest you, remembering that if you don’t like some of the content, each essay is short. Most of all, I hope you come away with the idea that we can work across boundaries to accomplish great things.

Breaking Barriers
Working and Loving While Blind
By Peter Altschul, MS
For some unknown reason, Peter Altschul was born totally blind. He grew up in a working-class town where, with the help of his persistent mother, he broke through barrier after barrier, determined to live a full life.
This memoir reveals one man’s journey through blindness as he teams with his five guide dogs to overcome personal challenges and eventually discovers love, success, and happiness.
