Robert Sangster, a novelist, restaurateur, sailor, and former partner at a law firm, has released a riveting memoir titled From Boardroom to Backpack: Risking it All. The book, published by Belle Compass in September 2023, delves into Sangster’s transformative journey from the corporate world to a life of adventure.
At 38, Sangster took a dramatic turn from his established career path as an attorney, government policy-maker, and business executive to set off on a global journey, covering seven continents and 100 countries. The inspiration for this radical change came from personal letters and journals discovered in a locked chest, as detailed in his memoir.
The book has garnered significant praise. Tim Leffel, editor of Perceptive Travel and author of A Better Life for Half the Price, remarks, “From Boardroom to Backpack is a great ride made more rewarding by the insights and perspectives Sangster shares with the reader. He has a keen eye for the events that shape our lives and our view of humanity.” Bob Sehlinger, creator of the Unofficial Guide series, adds, “Life-changing for anyone who hungers for far horizons.“
