We all have dreams and ambitions. We want to be successful in our careers and personal lives. But what does success really mean? And how do we achieve it? These are the questions John Thompson III sets out to answer in his book Stack Your Deck. Through a mix of personal stories, expert interviews, practical exercises, and straight-forward advice, Thompson takes listeners on an engaging journey, challenges us to define success on our terms, and shows it is always within reach - no matter how many ups and downs we experience in life.

The book reveals a life as extraordinary as his writing: difficult upbringing in the terraces of Leeds; strict Catholic education; transformative experiences in France and Algeria; time as an inspirational, unorthodox and highly creative teacher; meteoric development as a writer and performer; subsequent discovery by the BBC; Abbey Road recordings and influence on The Beatles; fame, fortune, and remarkable television career...and Jake's rejection of it all.
