Surrender: A journey towards a fulfilled life

by Shannon Jamail

Sometimes life provides you with a much needed wake up call - a realization that you’re cruising down the wrong path. Having experienced obstacles and major challenges, author Shannon Jamail learned many of life’s lessons in the school of hard knocks. Through toil and toughness, she became a badass business woman, rocking it out in the corporate world, but caught in a constant cycle of ego, judgment, comparison, stress, anxiety and internal conflict. After clambering into success, Shannon realized that her life was full of material wealth, but empty of truth and real purpose.

Shifting gears, Jamail dedicated her life to holistic wellness, mental health, and diving deep into the exploration of the shadow side of the self. This book chronicles her adventures in moving from darkness to light - with a few detours along the way.

Surrender is a self help with a side of sass. Written in a fresh, funny, authentic voice, Surrender reminds the reader that even in the dark moments of life, we are not alone nor helpless. Author and therapist turned coach, Shannon Jamail weaves hilarious, relatable anecdotes of fall-on-your-face spiritual shortcoming moments with practical and relevant tools for changing your habits, thoughts, and life - one somewhat clumsy, sometimes hysterical step at a time, to obtain the fulfillment we all are truly seeking.

Don't hesitate to buy this book. As much as I wanted to read through the whole book in one sitting, I had to stop myself after every chapter to reflect on what I just read and how it relates to me and what I can do to better myself. Shannon really opens up and uses her personal experiences to give us advice and guidance that we could all use. Definitely a book that I can read over and over again.

I want all of my girlfriends to read this!!! (Spoiler alert sisters - you're all getting it for Christmas!!!) "Surrender" is raw, real, and relatable. You'll fall in love with Shannon's honesty and authenticity - partially because you'll hear so much of your own story in hers. But the best part is that the book has a "questions to ponder" section after each chapter which will help YOU surrender YOUR non-serving stories (etc). Life is so much lighter when we just put down those heavy things (fear, judgement, comparison, pain, silence, stress, anxiety... to name a few) that we really were never meant to carry. LOVED IT!

Highly recommend! Have you ever denied yourself a new opportunity because you didn't believe you would succeed? Have you ever let the feeling of fear keep you from trying something new? This book surfaced so many realizations within myself. The author offers valuable advice that helped shift my mindset to crush limiting beliefs. Her authentic approach and valuable wisdom make this book one I'm proud to display on my bookshelf!

Surrender

Great read! I read the book, now I’m going back to each chapter and writing down the tips and prayers. Then I think deeply about the questions and journal my answers.
