50 Years - 50 Lessons!: A Middle-Aged Man's Suggestions for Not Fecking Things Up - Now and in Later Life!

Most bookshops sell titles aimed at how to fix you. Whether it's leadership, management, self-help or therapy, fitness or food, alternative lifestyle or mindfulness, so much of what's offered is geared towards reinforcing the message that you need to change, that you're living your life the wrong way, or that you're not fulfilling your potential. This book is different. It doesn't tell anyone to change. Its purpose is to encourage reflection, nurture curiosity, and challenge assumptions. Inside these pages, Author Fergal Barr has outlined 50 lessons, each of which is underpinned by a set of values and beliefs gained directly from the author's lived experiences. Aimed at provoking one's thoughts about a wide range of contemporary issues, these lessons also ask its readers to reflect on their own values and beliefs, and, in doing so, to contemplate their future approaches to different issues.
