Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Everything creaks and bends in heavy seas what will not bend will simply snap. So many times I wondered how much load we could carry in a powerful storm without breaking apart. If we flooded any faster I would drown in seconds.Patrick Dixon spent years working as a doctor at University College Hospital a high-pressure career that demanded long hours away from his home, his family and his passion for sailing. It is a frustrating story many occasional sailors can relate to, but unlike most, Patrick realised early enough that he could only bend so far before something snapped, he could only take on so much before he drowned.This is his story of how he made changes (some more challenging than others) that he knows other sailors could make too, regardless of where they are at the moment how he changed his priorities but managed to sustain a new career that fitted in around his life rather than the other way round.It is also the story of his and his wife Sheilas personal journey, both physically (across the Atlantic and to little-visited corners of the Mediterranean) and metaphorically how a doctor who treated cancer patients coped with a partner facing the same battle. Neither of them wanted to let that flood things either.Patrick is now a business analyst, a futurist consultant called in by the likes of Google to address his clients on trends, strategy, risk management and opportunities for innovation. In this book he distils the same lessons into a personal, practical philosophy. Economists talk of disruption successful businesses breaking conventions to set new ones and here Patrick shows how he had to be the disruptive factor in his own life.Through his personal story, with plenty of mishaps that led to insights (both about sailing and life in general), and encounters that turned into opportunities, Patrick explores the importance of prioritising the right things in life, and the simple benefits of travel. The book is packed with inspiring but practical advice for all those who have salt in the blood. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
