A Memoir In A Mind Field","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis memoir is as irreverent as it is authentic. An ordinary poor kid rockets through an extraordinary life. GK Jurrens, a veteran novelist, shares pivotal moments from a long and productive adventure-his life-surviving each key event to shape the next. An entertaining memoir written like a novel, as one poor schmuck comes of age, achieves love, spits in the face of his mortality \u0026amp; comes out better for it. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow GK's evolution from frightened child to enlightened senior with quirky stories in between as he pushes the limits of what is possible, hopeless, useless, desirable, ethical, affordable, legal, or something else. By air, sea, and land! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs a high-tech multinational business executive, GK proves a kid raised on the wrong side of the tracks from the corn fields of Minnesota can spar with heavy hitters in the inner sanctum of a global corporation. Until his world turns upside-down. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs an itinerant vagabond in retirement, he also proves that \"All who wander are not lost,\" but also, \"Every battle plan is perfect... until the first shot is fired.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGK is the author of 19 published titles comprising 14 full-length novels spanning five genres, plus a book of poetry \u0026amp; essays, and four audiobooks, three of which he self-narrated and produced. At age 76 he clings to the delusional self-image of a relatively fit young man of higher-than-average intelligence who still has much to accomplish. He says, \"This old dude ain't all that smart, but I refuse to quit. Ever.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHe describes his memoir as \"a literary-based archeological dig into my life in search of artifacts that lend value and insight to the present, and to the future. For me, and perhaps for you.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gk Jurrens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1952165431\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781952165436\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Uplife Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 370\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.77d","brand":"Gk Jurrens","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49001246523647,"sku":"9781952165436","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/trouble-with-thinking-a-memoir-gk-jurrens-9781952165436","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
