I only recently came across Hugh van Cuylenburg through his podcast The Imperfects, and found his and the other hosts vulnerability so refreshing. When I heard he had written a book I searched for it immediately.
There are so many wonderful stories in this book and the perspective of prioritising gratitude, empathy and meditation showed how we can build our own self esteem and hopefully be happier in the long run. I’ve taken lots of tips from this book for my own children and have ordered the GEM cards and family journal.

Audio book. A raw and honest Australian autobiographical of Hugh, a school teacher turned superstar motivational speaker who shares moments in his life that have shaped him into the mental health advocate he is today. Hugh narrates this himself and I felt as if I was in the room with him at one of his presentations. I was inspired by his perseverance in pursuing his passion and knowing his sense of purpose. Some big takeaways from the book: if you see an opportunity to ask if someone is ok, do it, it's important to live in the moment and take note of things you are grateful for.
The GEM model of happiness is something everyone can benefit from.

While it may not be the best read it could really have a positive impact on your life. Not bad for a quick read.
