June 18, 2025 – North Carolina, NC – “It is often said that the essence of a person’s life can be found in the stories they carry.” With those words, first-time author William Jamieson Sr., age 91, opens More than a Career: The Personal Stories Behind a 91-Year-Old’s Journey, a powerful memoir decades in the making—and a reminder that it’s never too late to share your truth.
Spanning a life filled with professional transformation and personal growth, the book draws readers into the rich, authentic experiences of a man who once never imagined himself as an author. Jamieson spent most of his life immersed in multiple careers and leadership roles, quietly collecting stories without realizing their significance—until others began to notice.
“You should write a book,” friends, family, and colleagues often told him. At first, he brushed off the suggestion. But one voice stood out: Felix Fernando. With heartfelt encouragement and faith in Jamieson’s journey, Felix became the catalyst for a literary debut born not from ambition, but from gratitude and reflection.
A Life Revisited—A Legacy Shared
In the foreword, Jamieson candidly reveals the initial self-doubt he faced, and the surprising joy that came from revisiting the seemingly ordinary moments of his life. The process of writing became one of rediscovery—proof that every memory holds value, and every experience contains a lesson worth passing on.
“Writing this book has allowed me to rediscover the significance of my own life’s narrative,” he shares. “Each chapter includes reflections highlighted in bold, connecting my journey to broader truths that I believe will resonate with readers.”
From childhood on a rural farm with no electricity to decades of career shifts, Jamieson’s memoir is more than a historical recounting—it’s a meditation on resilience, humility, and what it means to live a life of intention.
A Gift to Readers of All Ages
More than a Career isn’t just for those reflecting on their own legacies—it’s for anyone seeking purpose, perspective, or inspiration. With gentle wisdom and poignant storytelling, Jamieson offers a literary embrace to readers across generations.
“This book is a thank-you,” says Jamieson. “To the people who encouraged me, to the moments that shaped me, and to the readers who will carry these stories forward.”
