"About My Father's Business": Work Amidst the Sick, the Sad, and the Sorrowing

Description

In About My Father's Business, Thomas Archer delivers a deeply personal and intellectually rigorous exploration of what it means to build and sustain a business under the weight of loss. Through a moving narrative, Archer examines how the Sick, the Sad, and the Sorrowing shape entrepreneurial decision-making and the emotional toll of leadership. He argues that business is never purely rational—it is always shaped by personal history and the human experiences that define us.\n\nThis is not a standard business memoir. It is a meditation on the invisible labor of leadership and the ways grief informs professional judgment. Archer writes with a rare combination of intellectual precision and emotional honesty, making this an essential read for founders, managers, and anyone grappling with the emotional costs of their work. Whether you are building a startup or managing a team, this book offers a necessary framework for understanding the intersection of business and humanity.
