Chapel Hill author, Peter Guzzardi, is sharing his vision and encouragement towards self discovery by relating the life lessons learned from the Wizard of Oz.
Guzzardi discussed the premise of Emeralds of Oz with Spectrum News ahead of his book release.
“There's no place like home,” he reiterated. It's part of the film's powerful message.
“We all remember this moment from the film. Dorothy clicks her heels and says that phrase. Home isn’t just a place that holds your personal belongings. It’s a place within you,” Guzzardi said.
Peter Guzzardi spent decades as an editor working with a wide variety of intellects, including Stephen Hawking, Deepak Chopra, Carol Burnett and Douglas Adams.
In Emeralds of Oz, Guzzardi draws parallel examples from the movie to encourage readers to follow their own 'yellow brick road' to navigate the world with guidance from their personal strengths.
Guzzardi has lived in Chapel Hill for about 20 years, where he works as an independent book editor.
He will be featured at various bookstores across North Carolina, including Flyleaf Books in Chapel Hill on Wednesday, May 15.
