Biography:
Andrews was born in Birmingham and raised up in Dothan of Alabama. His father and mother were both into music. While his father was a minister of music, his mother, on the other hand, played piano and organ. She also used to direct the choir programs of church’s children. Andrews became an orphan at a very early age of nineteen when his mother died because of fatal cancer and then his father died in an automobile accident. Both the incidents took place within a short interval of time leaving Andrews alone in this world.

Andrews had to spend more than a year as a homeless boy after the demise of his parents. He remained on the coast of Alabama and slept under the Gulf State Park pier or in a garage most of the times. His book, The Traveler’s Gift published in 2002 was actually inspired by the seven decisions he took during that wandering year of his life.

All this time when he was homeless, Andrews used public library as a source to read over 200 biographies which eventually served as the main foundation of his career as a motivational speaker and timeless writer. This was the time when he was overwhelmed with his unending questions that led him to find answers for his questions vigilantly. The answers that he found ultimately affected millions of readers worldwide through his inspirational books.

The biographies he read of great men and women made him wonder how they became the people they were. Whether those great people were born that way or took decisions at the most crucial junctures of their lives that brought them boundless success. Such an in-depth reading of the biographies revealed to him the seven common traits that each of the great people had. He considered those seven characteristics as the most important and began harnessing them in his own life. These are now popularly referred to as the ‘seven decisions’ of Andy Andrews. These decisions shaped his life in a completely new and positive way.

In-Demand Speaker:
Andrews is not only a successful author but a world-renowned motivational speaker as well. The demand for his personal appearances is so high that he is called upon to speak to multiple audiences in the same city very often and that too on the very same day. His busy schedules, however, do not allow him to consent to all the offers made to him and he has to turn down most of them. According to the various audiences that have heard him speaking, he is undoubtedly the rarest communicator. He leaves people dazed and spellbound with his striking and incredible speeches. Some of the corporations even look upon him as a teacher with an immense knowledge and intellect. He has a hint of humor in his speaking style that earned him the title of ‘Comedian of the Year’ in 1985 and 1986 when he was quite younger. He was also conferred with the title of ‘Entertainer of the Year’ in 1986.

His one of the most famous quotes is “Most people think that it takes a long-time to change. Actually It does not. Change is Instantaneous!However, It may take a long-time to decide to change…..but change will happen in a heartbeat!”

Another noticeable masterpiece of Andy, The Noticer published by Thomas Nelson in 2009 is an astounding blend of allegory, fiction and inspiration. This book changes the life of reader who becomes a ‘noticer’ instead of being a participator in all the incidents of life. The story revolves around Orange Beach, Alabama which is a simple town inhabited with innocent people. The story takes an interesting turn when the people fighting with their shares of problem see a helpful man in a mysterious Jones. The narrative of the story through Jones makes the reader understand why certain things happen in life and what one can do about them.

   “The Heart Mender” is a book my husband and I so enjoyed together. My husband has passed on; a year now. Listening to this book again (without my husband) still brings me comfort.
   I also very much enjoy his other books: “The Noticer” series, and “The Traveler” series.
