Trust is more than just a memoir; it’s an intimate exploration of Pat McCluskey’s life’s purpose. As a pioneering electrical engineer in Australia, Pat’s story delves deep into his personal memories, offering readers an open-hearted reflection on his journey. The book is a heartfelt and sometimes harrowing exercise in finding the missing pieces of the puzzle that is Pat, from his childhood experiences to the moments that shaped his identity. Through this narrative, Pat and author Catherine Butterfield invite readers to join him in this journey of self-discovery.
To those who know Pat, his biography explains some of his enigmatic personality and what he has overcome to achieve a phenomenal success in building a global, market-leading business. This book is important because it is a window into a past world.
Writing Pat’s story presented a number of challenges, but the rewards were extraordinary. Gaining Pat’s trust and reaching a point where he felt able to share his deepest thoughts and darkest experiences came from many, many hours spent chatting, laughing, crying and writing together. Pat’s book has helped so many people around the world to better understand who he is and what makes him tick, but the best thing to come out of Trust is the special friendship I now have with this remarkable man.
