The Business of Life is a unique collection of exceptionally informative, intellectually challenging and highly entertaining anecdotes, essays, ideologies and reflections.

Much about life, business and what Manning calls the business of life. Unique and transformative life stories. Great fun with how he came to sell many billions of dollars of goods and services, across three continents. Brain food, spy satellites, Toyotas, LG stuff, sacred water from the Holy Land, "holiday ice" to the Eskimos in the winter, tons of horse manure (really) and many other global brands …

Some people collect stamps, memorabilia, music, dolls, cars, art, Zippo lighters, bottle caps,
Happy Meals, toys, rocks, bad habits... Manning collects people and stories. And wisdom from an experience-filled life, lived by his philosophies that guide everything he thinks, says, writes and does. “Life Is Not A Dress Rehearsal” and “A Life Without Passion Is A Life Not Worth Living” are omnipresent.

Witness Manning’s clarity on the spellbinding complexity of success in life and business, as he takes a wrecking ball to many conventions and norms. Learn from and delight in his rich tapestry of knowledge and thought-provoking observations.

His command of the language is matched by his captivating expressiveness, making him a joy to listen to. Brace yourself for his refreshingly independent perspective.

This is a book unlike any other you will listen to! Guaranteed: you will not put this book down once you start listening to it! And, best have a sense of humor…
