Stuff and Things

“Stuff and Things is a little treasure trove of wonder. Nuggets procured from a lifetime of curiosity and presented beautifully… my life is richer as a result.”

Ever felt like your mind is a treasure chest of memories, ideas, and random musings that deserve to be shared? After two decades in the weird and wonderful world of advertising, marketing and business, collecting life’s peculiar insights, profound moments, and occasional actual thoughts, this book brings them all together in one delightfully unconventional package.

What’s Inside?

From bite-sized wisdom to deeper contemplations, “Stuff and Things” is an honest, unfiltered journey through one person’s collected consciousness. It’s not your typical self-help book or business memoir or yet another how to do strategy guide. Goodness knows there’s enough of that. It’s more like rummaging through a fascinating mind’s junk drawer and finding unexpected gems.

This book is for you if:

  • Your own mind feels like a browser with 47 tabs open
  • You appreciate authentic, unpolished thoughts
  • You believe wisdom can be found in life’s ordinary moments
  •  You enjoy random thoughts that make you go “Huh!” (or occasionally “Huh?”)

What to expect:

  • Twenty plus years of collected wisdom, condensed into digestible pieces
  • A mix of practical principles and philosophical musings
  • A mix of deep thoughts and “it seemed important at the time” moments
  • Ideas that seemed brilliant at 3am and questionable by breakfast

From the Author’s Notes

I’ve collected a lot in over 20 years. Ideas, scraps, notes, and thoughts that have been stuck in the spiderweb of my memory, which, these days, feels more like Swiss cheese. But it feels like now is the time to collate some of these things.

Maybe there’s a theme, maybe there isn’t. There are probably some serious things and some flippant. Some will add value, some will not. I hope somebody likes it. Even if, to quote Paul Daniels… not a lot.

A collection of stuff that I often refer to that may still be of interest to you. Principles maybe.

And then some things. Longer-form writing, mainly collected from my blog musings.

Available in print and digital formats

Order now to explore this unconventional collection of stuff, things, and everything in between. Kindle, paperback & hardback options available.

Choose your preferred format:

Ebook: For those who like their random thoughts digitally packaged (and easily hidden from your boss). At the less than campachoochoo price of £2.99. For a limited time for free if you have Kindle Unlimited.

Paperback: Perfect for reading, emergency origami, or propping up that wobbly desk in the creative department for a smidge less than a crisp tenner at £9.99. Available now.

Hardback: When you want your confusion to feel fancy (and impress clients at meetings) but it’s also £19.99. Available now.

If I can be honest the paperback is the best version. Some of the flows in the eBook just don’t work the way I intended and KDP is unforgiving. The Hardback is too expensive because of the set-up costs.

Order now and join the ranks of readers who are slightly confused, mildly amused, and oddly inspired.

Warning: Side effects may include unexpected chuckles, occasional deep thoughts, and the irresistible urge to start your own collection of mental nonsense. May also cause sudden desire to change careers – author not responsible for midlife crises induced by reading.
