One Man's Frank, Funny, and Inspiring Account of Losing His Job and Finding His Life

Fat, Forty, and Fired

"It's a funny book that reads quickly but man does it hit home ... Bottom line, this is a book that fathers really need to read." —TheFatherLife.com

"This is the touching and laugh-out-loud funny story of a man who embarked on a life-changing odyssey without the slightest clue about what to expect ... A very funny but also enlightening and inspiring, memoir." — Booklist Review

"The strength of the memoir lies in the intimate and often humorous moments he shares as he reconnects with his wife and four children ... When Marsh finally re-enters the workforce, he does so recognizing that instead of obsessing about the time he misses with his family, he should enjoy the moments he has." —Publishers Weekly

"Homer Simpson meets Anthony Robbins. Marsh's honesty and humanity make Fat, Forty, and Fired essential reading for anyone whose life has ever hit a roadblock. Hilarious and inspiring." —Bob Rosner, best-selling author and internationally syndicated Working Wounded columnist

"An extremely funny and touching account of how someone can use humor and optimism to put adversity into perspective. Marsh's warm and distinctive view of life lights up every page and makes this a thoroughly enjoyable read." —Paul Wilson, author of The Little Book of Calm
