Synopsis:

For more than a decade, Neil Francis was a successful CEO. He grew his internet company from scratch, worked with some of the world's top businesses to deliver fantastic results and led the way in his industry. Then, at the age of 41, Neil's world collapsed. Out of the blue, a stroke brought his business career to a sudden halt.

But Neil wasn't beaten. To aid his recovery, he took a job as a caddie at one of Scotland's top golf courses. And from this most unlikely of scenarios, he found remarkable insights and wisdom that, coupled with his vast business experience, will provide a sure foundation and rich support for anyone who is looking – or is forced – to change course in their life.

In this intriguing book, Neil masterfully weaves together his insights on taking a new direction in life, distilled from conversations with some of the highly successful individuals for whom he caddied. To anyone changing course, or starting again, with the ambition of truly enjoying what they do in every area of their life going forward, Neil delivers a gem of a routemap – perceptive, enjoyable, challenging, readable and, above all, inspiring.
