Finding Calmwater - Wright, Jim

. .

Résumé :
In quite possibly the only book of its kind, Jim Wright shares his personal story of marriage and divorce with the hope of educating men that may be contemplating, in the process of, or that have just gone through a divorce. He explores not only the divorce process, but its fallout on immediate and extended family, friends, personal finances, and the nature of sexuality relative to popular beliefs regarding marriage. Written by a man for men, Mr. Wright's goal is to educate. First, to help men deal with the emotional pitfalls that will present themselves throughout the process. Secondly, he wishes to help men unravel the mystery around lawyers and the courts, by exposing the ultimate simplicity of divorce, and the potential to lower costs. Perhaps most importantly, the author shares key lessons he learned in an effort to help other men avoid making some of the mistakes he made himself. This easy-to-read, informational look at what may seem like the black hole of all personal issues reveals that there is light at the end of the tunnel. It is possible to navigate the heartache of divorce and remain a productive, self-respecting man. About the Author Divorced after 20 years, and the father of four children, Jim Wright holds two degrees: a BA in Sociology (Oakland University) and a Master of Liberal Studies in American Culture (University of Michigan). He was a sales and marketing executive in the auto industry until 2009, when he switched gears and moved into the chemical business, where he works today.

Biographie:
James Edwin Wright AM, MD, FRACS, FACS was a paediatric surgeon in Newcastle, Australia. Now a retired nonagenarian he prefers to be known as Jim. Throughout his professional and social life, he had a memory for a good story, a habit of reminiscing appallingly, never hesitating to inflict listeners with anecdotes from the many travelled years. A compulsion to write inevitably led to this collection of short stories and even shorter anecdotes. Many are original from personal experiences recalled from the long years. Those collected and compiled from other sources are acknowledged with origin and author where known. Jim hopes they create a chuckle or a thought and likes to quote the Australian poet, Andrew Bart, on Paterson: ...though their merits indeed are but slight, I shall not repine, If they give you one moment's delight Old comrades of mine.
