In a world racked with anxiety and depression the author’s attitude to living will inspire many readers. An ordinary man who made himself extraordinary by never accepting failure takes us on a journey through life. As a child, his relatively humble but comfortable beginnings in a tiny Essex village meant work on the farm from a very early age. Boarding school from the age of ten was difficult but character-building and the book demonstrates an optimism so often lacking in the developed world. Peter Fairs’ reference to ‘who you know is just as important as what you know’ may make younger readers feel a little uncomfortable at times but his proven ability to mix with any member of society has added to his success in building on opportunities. In his life, he has captained sports clubs, presided over societies, performed as a raconteur on numerous occasions, regularly written for the local newspaper, been an entrepreneurial farmer and an exceptional husband, father and grandfather. Peter Fairs is unorthodox and his book is written in his own style with humour reflected on every subject. An easy and stimulating read.
