Parables of Geoff is full of simple stories about a man who chose not to pass on the brutal upbringing he suffered, but gave to his family humor and wit rather than his father's anger and a fist. This book is proof one man can make a difference.Geoff went from abject poverty in the depression through to wealth, and back to poverty and living in a council flat, and in the process uncovered the greater riches of philosophy and gratitude.
