Brandon Jack set the bar high. As the son of legendary league figure Garry Jack and brother of Sydney Swans captain Keiren Jack, when Brandon himself began playing for the Swans, it was a position that was loaded with expectation and a pressure that didn't always pay off.  After his career in sport ended, he was forced to forge a new identity, purpose, measure of success - and was left with a few stories to tell.  Check out Brandon's new book Pissants.

What do you need to truly stay happy in your own head, day after day? The answer won't be the same every day, and it definitely won't be the same for everyone.
