He had everything he was supposed to want, a respected career, a loving family, a lifetime of responsibilities fulfilled.

It began with a Thursday meeting in his third month, and he never forgot what was said, and neither did the man who said it.

THE MAN HE FORGOT TO BE follows one working life from twenty-one to fifty, and adds up what it costs to be strong for twenty-five years without ever once being asked how you are.

A young man joins a company with a notebook full of ideas, and twenty-five years later he is respected, senior, and cannot remember the last time he said what he actually thought.

Nobody is fired, nobody is destroyed, nothing dramatic happens at all, and that is the point.

This is not a story about failure, it is a story about remembering who you were before the world told you who to become.

A short book, meant to be read in one sitting, and carried for much longer.

For every man who keeps showing up, and for everyone who loves one.
