Suddenly, here I am with most of my life in the rear-view mirror and not much road left ahead. I am wondering-ok, "What's it all about, Alfie?" This is an attempt to answer that question and to leave something behind that might be of some use.
At the age of seventy-eight, Trevor Shaw, a husband, father, and grandfather; an accountant; an auditor; a manager; a teacher; an artist; a photographer; and a student in the martial arts of Wing Chun and Tai Chi, reflects on life. From the personal to the political, from the micro to the macro, he discusses what he's learned throughout his life and what he thinks of where we're headed next. After a long life well lived, he offers wit and wisdom for some grounding in the escalating chaos of today's world, along with what is needed for an individual to cope and for making the world a better place.
Delivered in a highly readable, warm, sharply-communicated style with a voice that's pleasant to encounter and a point of view that's always thought provoking, Reflections is often not only helpful on a personal level but includes some highly cogent, well-informed, and incisive reflections on life in general, along with a frank analysis about where we're headed next.
