Living a truly authentic life takes a great deal of courage, and for many of us, the prospect is terrifying. Dr. Kotulski understands this and encourages readers in a compassionate and gentle way to take baby steps that lead to meaningful changes. The real life stories she shares are inspiring and the invitations at the end of each chapter are simply wonderful. I encourage everyone to read this book. It will leave you feeling positive, filled with hope, and motivated to be the best and most authentic version of yourself.

I picked up this book because I was in the midst of big life transitions and the concept of "It's Never Too Late.." gave me hope that I could still be on the right path, even though I was living in uncertainty. I was happy to find that the book included a good combination of spiritual insight AND practical action steps and exercises. Dr. Kotulski shares so much valuable wisdom within this book. I highly recommend reading it if you don't have everything figured out yet:)

Dr. Kotulski shares her brilliant experience, knowledge, and usable insight on a variety of topics to help strugglers readers take their life back. Unlike a lot of books that fall into the "self improvement" category that often use big, often vague concepts... This book has actionable steps to help you make real long term change. I would highly recommend it. --Collin W

What sets this book apart from so many other self-help books is the author's experience as a psychologist and also a storyteller. I've always heard that "facts tell but stories sell," and her use of the true stories of her clients makes the wisdom she shares all the more accessible and meaningful.
