I was born into poverty, ignorance, and crime. And for a while, I did exactly what most other kids like me do: I succumbed. One day I saw a bridge and took it. For a kid from Burngreave in Sheffield, England, this road was as unlikely as it could be. Today I live in affluence, with a wonderful family, a nice home bordering a green wooded zone, and luxury cars parked in my driveway. I'm often asked how I did this, being a youth offender who never finished senior school or attended University. This book, Lift Up Your Head, answers that question. I hope it will also serve as a beacon for other kids like me — past, present and future. And I hope it will enable these kids, when they grow up, to look at the world around them, and make it a better place.
An Inspirational, told with a touching humility, stark honesty and tremendous optimism. Charts Paul's journey to become a leader in one of the top industries in the country. This book will put a huge smile on your face.
