•Identifies the mysterious gene that guarantees business success;
•A three-part adventure culminating in the biggest challenge he has yet had to face;
•Author is a gifted speaker and writer whose business books include If you want to make God really laugh show him your business plan.
Pushing doors marked pull covers three periods in the life of ex-Burger King CEO Barry Gibbons. In the first part of the book, ‘Rebel without a clue’, we meet Barry as a directionless teen in Manchester during the early 1960s. Although the swinging sixties seem to largely bypass him a world is opening up to his generation, and he is not going to miss out. Even if he doesn’t have an instruction manual.
Part two, ‘Lord of the files’, catches up with Barry two decades later as he heads to dinner with the Queen on the royal yacht. As chairman of Burger King Barry introduces us to the life of a corporate rock-star, from the glamour of the corporate jet to the inevitable back-stabbing, as well as the fish-out of water trials of a Mancunian in Miami.
In ‘Cancer, my arse’, the final part of the book, we find Barry today. As he navigates his way through the physical and emotional trials of cancer diagnosis and treatment he begins to ponder what it is that determines his chances of survival. Is it luck, genetics, medical science or something else – does he have his own unique collection of traits that could make the crucial difference?
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 通过他人生中的三个关键时期，探索他作为商业偶像的生活；
•确保企业成功的神秘基因；
•他不得不面对的终极挑战中有三分之一的冒险；
•作者是一位天才演说家和作家，他的商业书籍包括《如果你想让上帝真的笑，告诉他你的商业计划》。
《推门表示吸引》包含了前“汉堡王”首席执行官巴里•吉本斯人生的三个时期。在本书的第一部分“无线索的反叛”中，我们看到了20世纪60年代初在曼彻斯特无目标青年的巴里。虽然世界对那一代人开放的摇摆的六十年代似乎在很大程度上绕过了他，但他没有错过。即使他没有指导手册。
第二部分“文件之主”，二十年后巴里赶上了，而此时他与女王在皇家游艇吃晚餐。作为汉堡王的主席，巴里向我们介绍了一个摇滚乐队的生活，从乐队的魅力到不可避免的暗箭伤人，以及在迈阿密的曼彻斯特进行的鱼离开水的试验。
在本书的最后一部分“癌症，我的痛苦”中，我们寻找巴里的今天。他通过癌症的诊断和治疗的身体和情感试验定位自己的方式，他开始思考什么决定他生存的机会。遗传学，医学或其他的——他有形成最关键差别的自己独特的特点是幸运吗？(LNL)
