Following the outstanding success of his first volume titled 4, 000 One Liners, the author has delved into his archive and cobbled together a second volume of equally fascinating reflections of life. The new book 5, 000 One Liners is a trove of humorous and thoughtful quotes which are sure to brighten the reader’s day and bring a smile.
It is word-smithing at its best; wit, humour, ideas, philosophy and memorable quotes are skillfully drawn together to surprise and prompt thought. Turn to any page and revel in the word play.
This book is an all-rounder, suiting every occasion from an accompaniment to a quiet coffee or glass of wine to being a valuable handbook for speakers – both budding and accomplished. The generic appeal also guarantees its acceptance as a welcome gift.
The topics include Business, Money, Time, Education, The Professions, Health and Doctors, Sex and Marriage, Family, Food and Drink, Holidays, Religion and Politics, among others.
The author has won the coveted Australian Toastmaster’s speaking competition. He also competed in the world finals in the USA. In his career as a management consultant he has been keenly sought after as a conference and dinner speaker.
