This book, then, has many uses ... * As a coffee table book, * Conversation starter, * Daily meditations, * Personal/spiritual development workshops, * Life Coaching, * Table topics for Toastmasters, * Teaching children (of any age) life lessons, * To remind you of who you are each day - simply great! "This work is brilliant. It is darker than the 53 SMILES but it is thought provoking to the reader and causes them to question what is happening for them. Sometimes it gives the answer to the question and sometimes it doesn't. The wording is poetic and beautifully written. This book is best delved into rather than being read from cover to cover and is less about being entertained and more about being challenged to grow personally. The writer shows understanding and maturity." ~ Anna Louise, life coach at www.annalouiselifecoaching.com "The master of A Course In Miracles tells us that we are, "Moving to a place beyond words on a journey without distance to a place we never left." He's literally helping us to "roll away the stone." In his book 97 Smiles, Philip Bradbury is utilizing the era of less is more. He's actually assisting us to cut our addiction to story by giving us just enough words to provoke a question or two. The tightly packed stories invoke more stillness and time to ponder, "And then what?" Illusions of despair and comfort may seem to come and go, but behind each story there is reality, there is God. Philip cleverly shows us our hidden fear of God by exposing our tendency to dive deep into fantasy whilst hardly daring to dip our toe in the waters of reality. I think congratulations are in order Mr Bradbury. I am looking forward to your account of what can happen when we drop the shackles of fantasy and dive headlong into God." ~Sallyann Gaelic, Writer and Teacher of A Course in Miracles

Autorenporträt
Personal voyage: In New Zealand I experienced life as an accountant, credit manager and company director, shepherd, scrub-cutter, tree pruner, freezing worker, plastics factory worker, saxophonist, army driver, tour bus driver, stage and television actor and singer, builder, lecturer, facilitator for men's groups, reporter, columnist, magazine editor, publisher, writer ... In South Africa as an AIDS workshop co-facilitator ... In the Australian bush as a barman, horse and camel trekker and stock-whip teacher ... In England as a contract accountant, corporate trainer, estate manager, lecturer, singer/songwriter, website editor/writer and freelance writer ... Back in Australia I'm renovating houses, teaching and writing ... and wondering what's next! Professional voyage I write in every genre - non-fiction, novels, novelettes, short stories, flash fiction, poetry and songs. I believe the written word is a vehicle to help us find our peace, to find our place in the world and to rediscover the parts of ourselves that we may have lost somewhere along the way. At least that is what the process of writing does for me and I would be honoured to be a part of that journey with you. As human human beings, we are compelled to follow our passion, spread our wings and take on the life we were born to experience. I spent twenty years in the wrong occupation. One year of accounting and I knew we didn't fit each other. But I stayed. Why? Years later, I realised I'd stayed bored and desperate to please my father, and, later, to please my wife. They were people I could not please. We can only please ourselves. Once I'd realised I was in a rut - a grave with the ends kicked out - I felt stuck. I didn't know what else I could do and, besides, the good money provided for my family. I had responsibilities and had to go on. I couldn't let them down. But I let me down. My father's anger and abuse came from his feeling of entrapment and in not allowing his spirit to soar ... and not knowing how to release himself from his self-built prison. I'd followed his example - sticking with a job that sucked me dry - and became more and more angry and depressed. But spirit will have its day, if we give it its say when we get out of our way. There was no great sea-change event work-wise, though the divorce was traumatic, sad and releasing. Work-wise, I quietly slipped sideways, inching my way into teaching and then, because of my twenty wasted years, started facilitating personal development courses and running men's groups. It took me no time to realise I was a lousy accountant and a long time to realise I was a helluva' good teacher. I loved it and, twenty years later, still do. ¿Between them, accounting and teaching have taken me to many countries, to many experiences and to many amazing people. Nothing is for nothing and everything counts. For a time, I popped back into doing accounting to pay the bills but, when I did, I became such a horrible person to live with that my wife now forbids me from ever doing it again. As always, I totally agree with her! So I stick with teaching accounting - not doing it - along with teaching business development and personal development. The teaching I do comes in many guises - corporate training, university lecturing, school teaching, personal development seminars, all the books I write and who I'm being in every minute of my life. So, to you. If you're in the wrong space - work-wise, relationship-wise, location-wise or just unwise - you won't be able to give your best and receive your best till you get wise about the choices you're making ... the choices
