Life is Like a Taxi Ride - Thryft
Life is Like a Taxi Ride - Thryft

Timeless insights for a better life.

"Life is Like a Taxi Ride" could be a good read for someone who is looking for a motivational guide with personal anecdotes. The book is filled with over 100 categories, each with its own pithy saying accompanied by an anecdote from the author's experience. The book is inspiring and human, and the author's trenchant wisdom and advice can motivate and help readers become better persons in their daily life and work.

Description

... whether you're going anywhere or not, the meter keeps ticking.What does a middle-aged chartered accountant who has been, at various times throughout his life, Anne Murray's and Bobby Hull's business manager; the CEO of a national $750-million entertainment conglomerate; an expert public speaker, journalist and media master; and a gentleman reputed to play cards for a little money, know about life and work and what makes it all tick?The answer is plenty when you're J. Lyman MacInnis, well-known Canadian businessman, financial wizard and entertainment and sports executive, and now a partner at Ernst & Young.Gathering more than 40 years of trenchant wisdom, brilliant sayings, "I-wish-I'd-said-that-isms", useful advice and motivations to really make you think, Lyman has created a wise and often witty guide to inspire, motivate, help, gently push and outright provoke anyone to become a better person in their daily life and work. Over 100 categories, from Ability to Dreams, Friendship to Marriage, and Opportunity to Wisdom, contain numerous pithy sayings. All are accompanied by a personal anecdote or reflection from the author, making this both an inspiring and very human guide.
