Description
Have you ever dreamed of leaving the corporate world? #DisruptMeNow is not a book for the faint-hearted. It is for you if you fear your best days are slipping by as the corporate python slowly strangles you and sucks away your life. You can choose a different path! David Smith was once a corporate warrior, taking on demanding and sometimes dangerous roles. He has been accused of spying in the Middle East; dodged bullets in Jakarta; befriended generals over bottles of vodka; evaded riots in India; and dined privately with the world’s wealthiest men. What a hero, or so he thought-until he felt his world falling apart. This book shows you how one man changed his life, and you can too. David Smith is an emeritus professor and the former Dean of McGill University’s Faculty of Education. Born in Brighton, England, he grew up during World War II before emigrating to Canada. After setting down roots in the New World, he quickly began a lifetime commitment to family and, thanks to the encouragement of family, friends and teachers, to academic and professional studies. He holds BEd and MA degrees from McGill, and a PhD from the University of London in the areas of Education and Philosophy. He is the author of many books, including Colonists at Port Royal (1969), The Seigneury of Longueuil (1970), and Changing Values: The Human Impact of Urbanization (1971). He also collaborated in the authoring of several works, such as Canada: Discovering Our Heritage (Senior Author, 1977), Educating for a Peaceful Future (with Terrance Carson, 1998), and Check Mate! (with Christopher Milligan, 2013). He currently resides in Vaudreuil-Dorion, Quebec, with his spouse, Cecilia Jayme.
