Next to Me: Luck, Leadership and Living With Parkinson's

Resilience in business and personal adversity.

If you admire stories of tenacity, you'll find inspiration in David Jones' journey from humble delivery boy to the helm of a retail empire. But it's not just business acumen that shines here. It's his unseen battle with Parkinson's that underscores a narrative of courage. Feel encouraged by how one man's steadfast spirit defied health and professional challenges alike.

Description

Next to Me: Luck, Leadership and Living with Parkinson's tells the remarkable true story of one man's journey from next to nothing to the top of a retail giant. David Jones turned around the fortunes of NEXT, from near bankruptcy to a booming business, becoming the most talked about fashion retailer of the last 20 years - all while battling Parkinson's Disease and keeping it a secret. Next to Me is the story of one man's unstoppable determination in the face of personal and corporate crisis. In this compelling autobiography, Jones's enthusiasm and humility serve as a backdrop to the story of his struggle with Parkinson's and his rise to business success. In his fast-moving narrative, readers go behind the scenes of business deals and bedroom battles, and come to understand the "two David Jones's: one chief executive...one with Parkinson's Disease." Perfect for those interested in his business insights or moved by the powerful story of his battle with a debilitating disease, Next to Me is an irresistible read.
