About this listen

One Slob. One Guru. One Magic Gift.

When an Indian guru grants Brad, a 41-year old self-confessed Slob, the power to ride "tempo" without ever growing fatigued, his life takes a dramatic turn.

Picked up by a pro cycling team, courted by beautiful women, and with money to burn, it looks like he will finally prove his family and everyone else who ever doubted his nonconformist lifestyle wrong.

But will Brad’s Philosophy of Slobbism hold up against the rigors of professional sport and a growing number of cycling rivals out to prove him a cheat? And what will happen when he is forced to make his cycling debut in the Giro d'Italia?

A riotously funny book, The Slob’s Guide to the Perfect Job is a book with heart. A book for anyone who has ever felt out of place. A book for anyone who knows there must be more to life than the dreary monotony of a regular 9-5 job.

A thoroughly entertaining journey!

I loved this story from start to finish!
With a skilful mix of humour, reflection and evocative descriptions of the terrain, I felt I was a passenger on Brad’s adventure!
I will enjoy reading this story again and thinking about how I can emulate Brad’s philosophies
Highly recommended
