    What an amazing read. The author effortlessly transitions you from her own inspirational story battling COVID to chapter after chapter of incredible (and practical!) life lessons that helped me immediately. I already find myself going back to reread passages to get the right tools, mindset, and mental boost as I face the day. I have a feeling I'll be doing that for years to come. The story is amazing...the lessons are timeless.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An Incredibly Therapeutic & Inspiring Book
    Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    I finished this book in a day - it was impossible to put down. Radha Ruparell gives such an intimate look into her battle with COVID, and it gave me such empathy for all those who have been affected by this illness, especially long-haulers.

    What's equally profound about the book is all the nuggets of wisdom that Ruparell shares about what she's learned in the past year. One that stood out in particular to me was the importance of shifting our language from "This is a bad day" to "Right now, I'm having an 'off' moment." She even put up a note near her workspace with this message.

    As we as a society begin to process the collective trauma of the pandemic, this is the book we all need to re-center. So grateful to Ruparell for sharing her words with us.

    Thank you to the author for writing this book! I found it energizing, heartbreaking, and joyful. Ruparell is able to connect deeply with her audience, turning her horrendous experience of contracting Covid-19 into small and big life lessons for her and for her reader. Every chapter, every paragraph, every sentence could be a daily meditation to contemplate and use in my daily life. I lost count of the times I read a sentence and said "Yes!" out loud because her words resonated so deeply with me. "Love with abundance," she writes, "it's not like it's running out of stock". This book is a call to action to be brave, to open our hearts, and to be a part of transformative change.

    Taking a year of struggle and turning it into a year of beauty. The author brings us into her world in her long haul battle with Covid and is reminded of all that is important in life through her experience. What she speaks about are things we all know, but that we need to be reminded of. Covid has gripped us all differently and I’m grateful for being able to experience this one story through the eyes of struggle and triumph.

    As a frontline doctor, this book really resonates with me. I particularly came away with life affirming lessons especially around the concept that being courageous can actually be an active choice we could be making in the face of adversity. I found the message of “it’s ok to be vulnerable” liberating specially in my field of work. The empowering message of paying mindful attention to the present moment - because that is all we have - was uplifting. A must read!

    This book resonated with me in deep ways. She used her experience with an illness to discuss rising above hardshhip or change. The practical advice of establishing habits and celebrating small vicotores helped me to move forard in my current place of changing my career. Some take aways....separate what happened from what I made it mean, be careful of the wording and language ad descriptors I use, and appreciate and notice the new things in my life from this change, be playful, practice gratitude and appreciate others strengths, shift perspective, listen, stand out rather than fit in, create a nonconformist world, be compassionate, love big!

    I loved reading this book and have recommended it to my teenage kids as it has strong messages about how to best manage life's curve balls that will get thrown at all of us at some point. It also offers good direction about how to get the most out of life and ultimately be happy, by being authentic and the best version of ourselves. I always believe that good will eventually come out of every bad situation, and this book is a great example of that - ultimately, the author's awful experience of Covid has produced this book, which will bring hope, faith and courage to so many people.
