Man Versus Himself Erik Keith Benson

Anselm Betty is on an 89-year winning streak of unparalleled success and fortune. If you asked him, he would tell you that he got to be the CEO of not one, but two, wildly successful companies, as well as the founder of the world's third-best city for singles to live in, by following a few simple guidelines: dressing well, reading the classics, relentlessly innovating, and, in general, by being sincere, honest, and forgiving at all times... that is, until Simon, his business partner and best friend, stabs him in the eye and turns all his employees against him.

With little time left to live, Anselm is forced to watch a new generation of ambitious entrepreneurs take everything from under his feet. He's not ready to concede defeat just yet, however, and even with his head wrapped in bandages, Anselm manages to fight back, come to terms with his mortality, and ultimately find true love.
