Synopsis

Sometimes, life flows best when you let go of the plan.

What if the path to meaning and serenity is simply to “try it and see what happens”?

The Maintenance Man’s Dilemma is Bill Stock’s humorous and reflective memoir about a life shaped by unforeseen choices and quirky encounters. Influenced by the guidance of strong women—his grandmother, mother, and wife—and a tendency to embrace whatever came his way, Bill’s journey is a delightful exploration of risk, compassion, and growth. From psychedelic adventures to work as a supermarket maintenance man, he’s found meaning in the unexpected.

In this book, you will:

• Discover that each person has a unique path to fulfillment and serenity.
• See how small, everyday moments can provoke profound moral changes.
• Learn the value of working alongside good people to bring meaning to life.
• Understand how life’s challenges transformed an unapologetic risk-taker into a compassionate man.
• Feel the enduring influence of a loved one’s light, even through life’s unexpected turns.

The Maintenance Man’s Dilemma does more than entertain—it offers wisdom for anyone wondering if they’re on the “right” path. This book does an exceptional job of blending humor with insight, showing how an unstructured journey can lead to a fulfilling life.

Embrace the adventure. Dive into The Maintenance Man’s Dilemma and join Bill on his journey through life’s twists, turns, and surprises.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Raised in a rollicking family - arguing its most engaging entertainment - Bill Stock became brash and outspoken. Loving risk, he embraced gambling and a career in statistics without contradiction. Early on, he read westerns, science fiction, and works on mysticism - creating a mish-mashed view of life. He tried psychedelic drugs, made a Merry Prankster's inspired bus trip, backpacked across Oregon, learned Spanish with friends in España, rode a bicycle from Canada to New Orleans, and visited the dirt-floor cottage where his grandmother was born in Ireland. He worked last as a maintenance man in a supermarket. Across 50 plus years, his wife, a woman of love and character, softened his edges. Since her death, he seeks to accept life, resolve his dilemmas, and attain serenity. A lover of oceans and forests, for some reason, he lives in a desert in Arizona.
