I really enjoyed this book. I’ve known Gerry professionally for a few years, and have always found him to be kind, observant, optimistic, considered and a deep thinker. These qualities shine through in his book, and I benefited from being immersed in his thought processes.
I particularly enjoyed reading about Gerry’s early years, growing up in Australia as one of nine siblings. In this book, Gerry painted a picture of the “normal” aspects of life, that these days aren’t so normal at all!
Brad Dunne –
Very entertaining read, I found the book very well written and a book i seemed unable to put down.
I was particularly drawn to the Lambert family of 9 and Gerry being the spot on middle sibling, The early years of Wollongong , The sporting Lamberts and the community spirit of the entire family..
Having spent much of my own youth surfing in an around the “Gong” i felt very immersed in the book.
Having worked professionally with Gerry for over 10 years and that relationship developing into a friendship i was absolutely fascinated just much of Gerry’s life and that of his family was an unknown to me.
Defiantly a book of life experiences thats so very relatable on so many levels..

The author delivers some powerful and healing messages and shows that if you trust in the process of life through all of its ups and downs, you will experience a rich and rewarding journey filled with love and lots of smiles.
Gerry is an exceptionally gifted, wonderful soul and those that cross his path are exceedingly fortunate. An inspiring read – bravo!

I really enjoyed Gerry’s book. I found it well written about a large migrant family growing up in the days when you played on the street or in your backyard. Gerry’s schooling and career journey was interesting and inspirational. The chapter on Brad was touching and heartfelt. Well done Gerry.
