An Book I Found Interesting



Recommended Posts

Hi blokes!

Sorry for the intrusion but I thought this might be the best place for this because it was written by a bloke :)

I adopted my beautiful dog Rosie from a lovely lady named Joanne and it turns out she is the sister in law of Mel Gibson- that is, she's married to Chris Gibson. Anyway she gave me a copy of his autobiography and I really enjoyed it :) its a simple easy read but is motivating and reminds me why I'm trying a new way of doing things.

Anyway he follows his own path, which I'm not necessarily into, but it may interest you or a loved one.

Anyway, it's called

Memoirs of a Fat Bastard

How I Lost My Gut and Gained a Life

By Chris Gibson

Available here: http://www.fishpond.com.au/Books/Memoirs-of-Fat-Bastard-Chris-Gibson/9781405039901

And a small excerpt:

Chris Gibson is one fat, drunk, angry bastard. He's tried every diet: Atkins, South Beach, Pritikin. Problem is, he still can't get his pants on in the morning. And he got none of the genes of his movie star brother Mel. In his early 40s with a job he hates and a lifestyle that is killing him, Chris is having more than a mid-life crisis. He's having a life-and-death crisis. Memoirs of a Fat Bastard is a bittersweet account of how a middle-aged man on the road to destruction turned his life and health around on his own terms. It's a telling and frequently hilarious story of the ways in which some men can lose their way, and the way back to finding meaning and happiness amid the competing pressures of being provider, family man, and all-round good Aussie bloke.

P.S. I didn't get a discount on Rosie in return for plugging the book ;) I just like the book and the person who wrote it :D

Peace & Love
