"This is the book everyone needs to read when life takes an unexpected turn。" - Mia Freedman, MamaMia

Not all storms come to disrupt your life。 Some come to clear your path。

Viral video producer Briony Benjamin was a few months into a new job when she started feeling crappy。。。 All。 The。 Time。 Doctors told her she was just stressed and should rest more and learn to meditate。 But it turns out she had cancer all through her body。

Turning the camera on herself, Briony started documenting her journey in the short video You Only Get One Life。 Its raw portrayal of her experience went viral, touching millions。

Here Briony shares some of the important lessons learnt through her illness and recovery - everything from how to assemble your A Team in times of crisis and learning to make friends with the pain, to happy hacks for cutting yourself some slack and some great tips on being a kick-arse support human when a friend is going through the rough stuff。

If you want to live the richest version of your life, bring some more joy into your day-to-day existence and have some tools up your sleeve for when things get tricksy, this book is for you。 Because - spoiler alert - we all have to deal with our fair share of tough times sooner or later。 It's how we handle them and bounce back afterwards that really matters。

I’m not generally a fan of ‘self-help’ books but calling this a self-help book would be akin to calling Michelangelo a painter instead of an artist。The way this is written is relatable and the writing makes it feel like a Briony is talking directly to you。 It’s plain language, it’s a bit heartbreaking, but there is a ton of humour throughout the whole thing。 I loved how it was set out as well。 There are some pages that just have a few words in them to make the point clear, others that have space I’m not generally a fan of ‘self-help’ books but calling this a self-help book would be akin to calling Michelangelo a painter instead of an artist。The way this is written is relatable and the writing makes it feel like a Briony is talking directly to you。 It’s plain language, it’s a bit heartbreaking, but there is a ton of humour throughout the whole thing。 I loved how it was set out as well。 There are some pages that just have a few words in them to make the point clear, others that have space to write your own things, whilst even more have literal checklists you can take a photo of and keep with you。 I use quite a few of the things mentioned in this book already (usually because of work 🤭) which, for me, lends credibility to everything else。 It works。 And sometimes it’s a cold splash of reality but that’s what is needed。 Although you had to go through hell, @briony_benjamin, what you’ve produced here is nothing short of wonderful。 Thank you for sending me a copy ❤️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 / 5 。。。more
