For centuries poetry has provided a light in times of darkness. For Abraham Lincoln that light was Mortality. For Winston Churchill it was The Charge of the Light Brigade. For Nelson Mandela it was Invictus. Now, Rob Redenbach recites a selection of ten classic poems that provide timeless advice for keeping your head 'when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you.'
The best-selling author of What I Didn't Learn at Harvard, Rob Redenbach is a talented and versatile communicator. Listed by Business Review Weekly as one of Australia's top-10 conference speakers, Rob's first audiobook Poetry For Men (who thought they'd never like poetry) was described by award winning journalist Melissa Doyle as "A beautiful idea and a fabulous voice".
