ESC: a nostalgic guide to breaking up with the corporate world to pursue what you love

I used to labor in advertising. It almost killed me. Then I began waking up at 5 AM to write for three hours before heading to corporate hell. This is what saved me. The end result was collection of indelible stories sent to family and friends under the Subject Line: ESC

Phil Brody's ESC consists of forty-seven funny and poignant stories recounting his painfully hilarious journey growing up in the Midwest, working in the corporate world, and finally chasing his life-long dream to be a writer. The seemingly unrelated stories overlap and intertwine in unexpected ways, creating an entertaining narrative that will make you smile, cringe, and laugh-out-loud.
