Overview

Go Far, Give Back, Live Greek is the odyssey of one man's journey from his childhood village on a Greek island, struggling to survive wartime occupation, to becoming a highly successful businessman, political advisor, fundraiser, and recipient of the Ellis Island Medal of Honor. It is a journey of perilous ocean crossings and illegal immigration, of arrest and deportation, interspersed with years of hard work and high risks that are essential components of the American Dream. Written with passion and insight, Go Far, Give Back, Live Greek is beautifully optimistic and refreshingly free-thinking, yet is at all times connected to an ancient source of wisdom and love for humanity. From the first page to the last, George E. Danis reminds us that success is best measured not by balance sheets or bank accounts, but in community, care for the planet, and love of family.
