Redundant - An emotional and spiritual journey through Redundancy

Over four million people in the UK have been made redundant
since the onset of the Global Financial Crisis. Brian Keith did not
expect to be one of them - he had recently been promoted to an
executive role in a fast expanding international bank, receiving
glowing performance reviews and increased responsibility. Things
were looking up - until the day his boss suddenly announced he
was retiring. One week later Brian was made redundant.
With six children to support, a mortgage to pay and a self-image
and dog to worry about, Brian sets out trying to make psychological
and spiritual sense of his situation. What follows is the searingly
honest account of his personal journey as he comes to realise that
more important than finding a job, Brian must find himself.
Prompted by what he learns from his remarkable wife and a
fascinating cast of friends, guides, memories and characters, Brian
looks deeply inwards, challenging many of his own beliefs and
assumptions about his career, leading to a profoundly new
understanding of himself and the implications of being made
redundant. Ultimately, Brian’s story teaches us that rather than
being something to fear, redundancy can provide the catalyst for
immense personal growth and development.
Infused with humour and self-insight, this book contains
inspirational and universal lessons, not just for those navigating the
harrowing journey through redundancy, but for anyone who has
ever felt as if they have somehow lost their way.
