Alexander Bachuwa escaped the hypnotic spell that a cubicle career had cast on his life, and he put together a guide to liberate others from their daily monotony.
The first part recounts the incorrigible entrepreneur's journey from college, to law school, to business school, to Dubai, to Shanghai, to Shanghai again, to General Motors, to being fired eighty days later. Then it recounts his daring escape from this circle of monotonous work.
The second part organizes all of Bachuwa's failures and lessons learned into a tidy list of ten steps to help the disillusioned break free. He demonstrates the importance of travel, mental tenacity, physical toughness, persistence, and commitment.
The book is timely, humorous, intellectual, practical, blunt, and-for you-wrong. But the point is to follow your own aspirations, as grandiose as they may or may not be. No one can tell you how to succeed. Living life is the only way to figure that out. But you have to get in the game and roll the dice, get out of the cubicle and into the world.
About the Author: Alexander Bachuwa's parents emigrated from Iraq to the United States in 1982, the year he was born. As a child, he dreamt of becoming a professional basketball player-a goal he gave up for his parents' assertion that the real ticket to success in life is higher education. Unconvinced, he still graduated from the University of Michigan with a BA in economics. Underpaid, he attended law school at Arizona State University. Unemployed, he later added an MBA to the list of letters behind his name.
Today, he is Alexander Bachuwa, JD, MBA, entrepreneur (a work in progress), world explorer, author...and, by default, blogger. His book serves, among other things, as an autobiography. So if you want to know more, read it.
