Martin Gladdish

My name is Martin Gladdish the author of The Lazy Optimist. My day job is a freelance copywriter and business coach although I do tend to spend a lot of my time fighting dragons and daydreaming... Previous jobs include: milkman, shop manager, paper salesman and large red kangaroo.

The Lazy Optimist is a semi-biographical self-help book and tells the story of a man called Charlie; whose early life was fuelled by his dreams and his middle age hindered by their absence. It has a happy ending, a few practical encouragements and will hopefully provoke its readers to reignite their dreams...

I claim to have been cured from lazy optimism myself but in truth it still crops up from time to time... knowing what it is helps though and genuinely hope that anyone who reads the book will be equally well equipped to deal with theirs.
