Book Synopsis
Make someone smile and you have done well; make someone laugh out loud, and you have achieved something greater. This witty, wry collection of essays takes the reader from a blue-collar boyhood in Queens across the river to cutthroat Wall Street, across the seas to Japan and Puerto Rico, and back again. Reality and hyperbole collide in tales of life’s universal and painful experiences – the big interview, meeting your future in-laws and travel debacles galore – where to “add a little levity” is to survive, and thrive!

Trade Review
"In today's world of uncertainty and weighty decisions, 'Adding A Little Levity', is the perfect bedtime read. A chapter a night will leave you smiling, as you drift off into a peaceful sleep. The problem is -you'll be chuckling in your dreams." Sally Fernandez, bestselling author of the Max Ford Thriller Series; "I see a lot of wit bubbling away here and an eye for the farcical nightmare." Arthur Plotnik, bestselling author of Spunk and Bite; "Having a tough day? 'Adding a Little Levity' is just what the doctor ordered. Bob's essays showcase his observational humor and dry wit about a kid from Queens and his escapades (and cringeworthy blunders) in corporate America and beyond. Sure to put a smile on your face and a spring in your step." Erin Moran McCormick, author of Year of Action.
