He's tried every diet: Atkins, South Beach, Pritikin... Problem is he still can't get his pants on in the morning. And he got none of the genes of his movie star brother Mel. In his early 40s with a job he hates and a lifestyle that is killing him, Chris is having more than a mid-life crisis. He's having a life and death crisis...
Memoirs of a Fat Bastard is a bittersweet account of how a middle-aged man on the road to destruction turned his life and health around on his own terms. It's a telling and frequently hilarious story of the ways in which some men can lose their way, and the way back to finding meaning and happiness amid the competing pressures of being provider, family man, and all-round good Aussie bloke. Chris Gibson was born in New York and moved to Australia with his parents and nine siblings in 1968. After spending 30 years in a finance career, Chris woke up one day and decided there were better ways he might help others. He is now an NLP Master Practitioner, a Results Coach, and a Certified Hypnotist. Chris lives in Sydney with his wife Joanne and daughter Rachael. Chris's passions outside family and helping others include life-long love affairs with motion pictures and cooking.
