Golden Nuggets is a lighthearted look at the human condition, providing valuable life lessons that can be learned from the troubles most of us face in this mad world as well as the experiences that bring us joy.

As a thrice divorced man who loves a good party… who loves nature, music and baseball, Tom Evans shares his life’s journey in a unique, humorous, and, at times, somewhat neurotic way.  Most readers will find a connection to their own trials and triumphs as they take this journey with Tom.  Also explored is the source of true happiness, does it really exist, and if so, how do we tap into it?  There’s plenty to struggle with and embrace in this world, but in the end, compassionate service to others is the true source of happiness.  We’re more alike than we often realize.  We’re all in this together… just passing through.
