Books: Fat, Forty and Fired
While on the way to/from CodeCampSA this weekend, I ended up reading a wonderful little book by Nigel Marsh called Fat, Forty and Fired. It's described as one man's story of losing his job and finding his life. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I mentioned it to the guys at the Code Camp and Dave Glover from Microsoft also mentioned how much he'd liked it.
It's a story about an advertising executive that decides to take Steve Biddulph's advice in Manhood that every man should take his 40th year off from work. It covers his trials and tribulations during that year, including some pretty funny material in the "Mr Mom" category.
Highly recommended!
