Rob Parsons has written more than twenty five books, that have sold over a million copies in multiple languages including the Sunday Times Business bestseller The Heart of Success, The Money Secret and The Sixty Minute series on relationships.
His latest book, A Knock at the Door is the true story of Ronnie Lockwood, a homeless man who entered the home of a young couple, became a dustman and lived as part of their family for over 45 years until his death. But this is not just Ronnie’s story – it is also that of Rob’s and his family. Outwardly the two men’s lives were worlds apart – as Ronnie emptied rubbish bins, Rob flew on Concorde – and yet, they discovered they had similar struggles. Then the day came, at the lowest moment of the couple’s lives, when they turned to the homeless man for help.
During the past 30 years, Rob has spoken to over a million people in events held in the UK as well as internationally. He is the founder and chairman of the national charity Care for the Family and has spoken extensively on family issues across the world. Rob has also been in demand to speak to the business community, drawing principles from his best-selling book The Heart of Success, and experience gained in being a co-founder of a legal consultancy through which he advised thousands of lawyers on practice management and expansion.
