"Benjamin Franklin famously described the most certain things in life as death and taxes. Given the transformation of the workplace post-2020, most of us can add change and failure to that list. In his book, Lee Chambers shares his inspiring backstory as a black, autistic son of working-class parents. Drawing from his experience as a psychologist, Chambers challenges the reader to cultivate a flexible mindset; one that understands that pathways to success are not linear, one that learns to harness chaos. Lee Chambers emphasises the importance of agency. This book is for anyone navigating their path amidst changes arising from circumstances beyond one's control, one's own choices or the decisions of others." * Dr Ollie Folayan MBE, award-winning engineer and co-founder of AFBE-UK *
