WORK WON'T KILL YOU, BUT IT'S TRYING!

Dinis Santos is a Lisbon-based writer, father, and HR professional who navigates the beautiful chaos of everyday life — not always in that order. With a degree in Human Resources Management and a postgraduate qualification in Organisational Development, Dinis works as an HR Business Partner at one of Portugal’s leading food companies, where his professional life revolves around people, their development, and their well-being. While his career has always been rooted in people management, writing has become his way of exploring the quirks, contradictions, and absurdities of the human experience. With a sharp sense of humour and an eye for the extraordinary in the ordinary, he turns everyday situations into relatable, entertaining stories that capture the joys and challenges of family life and living together in society. His published works include Viajando pelos Alpes | Crónicas Humorísticas de uma Viagem em Família (Vol. I & II), I Don't Know Where It Is, Ask Your Mum!,Oh, For God's Sake! and Work Won't Kill You, But It's Trying! — humorous and engaging explorations of family dynamics, human behaviour, and the everyday situations that make us laugh, sigh, and occasionally question our sanity. Through his writing, Dinis invites readers to find humour in the chaos, irony in the ordinary, and a little bit of themselves in every story.
