Joel Dubin is a retired cybersecurity consultant turned humor author and foreign languages enthusiast. He is an adult survivor of eccentric parents and the even more eccentric corporate world. Along the way, he and his wife have had to take care of seven elderly family members over the years. His latest book, Heaven Isn't On Schedule, is part memoir and part a how-to guide on elder care. The book iincludes how he cared for his eccentric parents, Norman and Phyllis, in their old age and how their wit and humor before their passing inspired his prior book, The Norman and Phyllis Show. The Norman and Phyllis Show is a memoir about his crazy parents and their misadventures around town. Phyllis couldn't cook, so they had to go to restaurants where they were the uncrowned royalty of the Chicago restaurant scene, where Norman taught Yiddish to Mexican waiters and Phyllis talked about how soup gave her gas. Their hilarious antics while he was growing up inspired the book. The 7 Habits of Highly Dysfunctional Companies was inspired by stupidity he observed at companies who sabotage not only their security but their business, as well. The 7 Habits are the most common problems he saw at screwed up companies around the world. This isn’t a typical business book. It’s a humor book poking fun at office politics, bureaucracy and toxic work environments, all ingredients of successful dysfunctional companies. It’s sort of an anti-manual of how not to run a business. Joel Dubin is also a polyglot fluent in several languages. This gave him unique access and insights into to the inner workings of companies in Latin America, the Middle East and Europe. He came to conclude that dysfunctional companies, no matter where they’re located – or what language they speak – are all screwed up. His first humor book, Yes Dear! A Husband’s Guide to Marriage, is inspired by his thirty plus years of marriage to Sara Guralnick, a children’s book author and jewelry designer. The book is based on the most important principle he discovered about marriage: Happy Wife, Happy Life. Dubin is the author of both editions of The Little Black Book of Computer Security and has an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and a master’s degree in journalism from Columbia University.
