This is a fascinating guide and resource on finding pathways to enjoy a positive outlook on life. By focusing on wants and needs, and looking back at previous choices, Ms Kerr encourages her reader to take ownership of their decisions, set intentions and work towards positive goals and ideals.
She also encourages them to realise the things we treasure most in life are the ones we earn and work hard to achieve. She does this be relating personal experiences and encouraging her readers to be honest with what they want. To set realistic goals and be aware they need to do the work first to reap those rewards.
Ms Kerr also asks the reader questions through ‘universal lessons’ along with guidelines and suggestions to follow. There’s also a questionnaire on her website to help the reader set goals in relation to her book. An interesting read. :)
An honest and raw collection of real life experiences. I share this review as an author and I know all too well how challenging and vulnerable it is to share such knowledge that then becomes wisdom. The author, Lauren Kerr writes with flair and is as though she is talking directly to me. What a powerful message!
