The Victories and Challenges One Man Faced as a First-Time Teacher in the Strange World of Prison Life
After devoting half of his lifetime transforming his start-up business into a multi-million dollar industry leader, author John McLaughlin set out in a new direction: to teach what he had learned to others.
Due to a lack of teaching experience, his only job offer was to teach entrepreneurship to prisoners at a minimum-security camp in North Carolina. John gradually builds an effective program until a scandal involving prison officials blindsides his progress and threatens to bring his teaching career to an unceremonious end.
Lifeline to a Soul takes the reader inside the fence and chronicles the victories and challenges one man faced as a first-time teacher in the strange world of prison life.

Review

Lifeline to a Soul: The Life-Changing Perspective I Gained While Teaching Entrepreneurship to Prisoners by John K. McLaughlin is a very unique memoir that gives readers insights into the one-of-a-kind perspective of the author who had to teach entrepreneurship to prisoners in order to gain teaching experience. Put in a very difficult, awkward and un-envious spot, the author showed grit and determination and made the best out of his situation which in turn gave him the experience of a lifetime.

This book’s perspective is so unique and refreshing that it kept me engaged throughout the story. The author has done a wonderful job in narrating his adventurous and enthralling tale in a way that made it feel all the more interesting and gave it the warm quality of a story that is being told by a friend to a group of his close friends.

I would recommend this memoir to all readers as it packs a lot of details that are very interesting, unique in their own right and extremely intriguing. This book deserves to be read!
