Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

For every man who learned to say "I'm fine" before he learned to say what he needed.James Fletcher is forty-one years old and, by almost every conventional measure, doing well.He has a secure career, a decent salary, his own home and a life that gives him very little to complain about.There is just one problem.He isn't sure he actually wants the life he has worked so hard to build.James isn't having a breakdown. He isn't running away. Nothing dramatic has happened. He has simply begun to notice something many of us spend years avoiding: Being fine isn't always the same as being fulfilled.A chance conversation with Michael, a retired furniture maker in a London café, begins with one deceptively simple question and develops into an unlikely friendship that forces James to examine everything he thought he understood about work, money, success, relationships, strength and what it means to be a man.Along the way, another friendship will remind him that the people who appear to be coping are not always coping at all, and that sometimes the most important thing one man can give another isn't advice, an answer or a solution.It's simply somewhere to tell the truth.A Man of Discovery is a warm, funny and deeply human story about the lives we inherit, the rules we absorb without questioning and the quiet courage required to admit when something needs to change.It is about ambition without losing yourself to it. Money without using it to measure your worth. Friendship that makes room for honesty. Asking for help before life forces you to. And discovering that changing your life doesn't always mean blowing it apart.Sometimes it begins with a conversation.Sometimes it begins with a better question.And sometimes the bravest thing a man can say isn't something profound at all.It's simply: I'm not fine.
