Editorial Reviews
Review
“This wonderful fable draws on the hard-won life lessons of fabled financier Ed Hajim. Ed, a modern-day and very real Horatio Alger, identified his passions, principles, and partners so as to shape a plan for his life’s purpose. For those on a similar quest, let Ed be your guide through reading this allegorical tale. It informs and inspires.” —Mark Zupan, president of Alfred University
“In his charming fable, Ed Hajim shows how focus and principles help organizations change. His book will help the reader think.” —Ken Roman, former CEO of Ogilvy and Mather
“This is a must-read for anyone thinking about how to successfully navigate the inevitable twists and turns in the road ahead, leading to a fulfilling life.” —Wendi Heinzelman, Dean of the Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Sciences
"Ed Hajim is the brilliant entrepreneur who, against all odds, built successful businesses and dedicated his life to teach sound principles to others. This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to enjoy a life filled with success and framed with significance."—Dr. Nido Qubein, president of High Point University
"The allegorical tale of The Island of the Four Ps is the road map Hajim followed to create a successful life that might have ended before it ever began. If there is a template for 'Inspirational Writing,' this is it.” —Sol Gittleman, University Professor Emeritus at Tufts University
"Ed is amazing! He has already inspired, impacted—and truly transformed—the lives of so many young people through sharing his story, wisdom, and generous philanthropy. This book provides a relatable and applicable framework that I will use to support and empower our students as they navigate their personal, academic, and professional journeys."
—Heather Hauck, director at the Office of Student Engagement, Affinity & Inclusion, D’Amore-McKim School of Business at Northeastern University

This is not a how to do it book, but rather a how to THINK book.
Read a chapter a day, answer simple thought-provoking questions.
The protagonist is Marketus who invites us to share his ideas and questions about his journey through life. What are the passions, the powerful interests, that drive us forward? P. 28. Our principles compliment and influence our passions. Continually re-examine the principles in light of new experiences and perspectives. And the importance of our partners—advisors, friends and collaborators. Learning form our partners their passions and principles. There is a helpful chapter on the author’s own four P’s.
This is an easy read that will help us to shape our own lives. The author’s own experiences are extraordinary and filled with great advice for the reader. I recommend this book to everyone, especially the younger citizens choosing to set themselves on a remarkable and successful path.
Ed Hajim’s first book, "The Road Less Traveled—From Orphanage to Boardroom" is an engaging review of his specific personal events. This book, "The Island of the Four P’s" is about concepts, tools and ideas for the new traveler.
