Summary

From the best-selling author of The Year of Living Danishly: How to make big decisions, be more resilient, and change your life for good.

Having spent the last few years in Denmark uncovering the secrets of the happiest country in the world, Helen Russell knows it's time to move back to the UK. She thinks. Maybe. Or maybe that's a terrible idea. Like many of us, she suffers from chronic indecision and a fear of change. So she decides to give herself a year for an experiment: to overhaul every area of her life, learn how to embrace change and become a lean, mean decision-making machine.

From how to cope with changing work lives and evolving relationships to how we feel about our bodies, money and well-being, Helen investigates the benefits of new beginnings, the secrets of decisive people and what makes changes last - and uncovers the practical life lessons we can all use to thrive when change is afoot and inject some freshness and magic if it's not.

How to teach the stubborn British mindset about self improvement

An excellent, cant put down performance and narrative with exceptionally well placed humourous anecdotes that is aimed at a very British mindset of stubbornness when it comes to self improvement and self worth. Fantastic, entertaining, enlightening and enjoyable.

100% Recommend

This was the first audiobook I ever listened to, and whilst it took me a fair while to finish it, it was well worth it. I loved every minute of it and after reading A Year of Living Danishly, I can confirm that Helen Russel is a truly talented writer! Listening to this was brilliant and has made a few very long journeys (24 hours each way to the top of Finland) and a couple of walks to Uni, so much easier and more enjoyable. I cannot wait to listen to my next downloaded audiobook :)

Totally Entertaining and Learn a lot!

This book came recommended to me on audible and I thought why not! I was surprised at how entertaining I found it and the masses of amounts of things I learnt. Very interesting. Also the way it is set up makes this long audio book actually feel very short! She breaks up the book in a good way! I'm a big fan !

Easy listening - with some interesting ideas!

After enjoying listening to ‘Living Danishly’ I was curious about the next book ... if you like learning, are curious about changing & hearing about someone’s experiences of this - I’m sure you will enjoy this listen!

Great Performance by LPL

As a follow up to A Year of Living Danishly I may have been expecting too much. This was a bit more haphazard and kind of all over the place. The Lucy Price-Lewis narration and energy was once again superb though and I could listen to her reading the phone book. Unlike Living Danishly, I was glad when this finished but maybe because I had such high hopes. Id still listen to another follow up so maybe that's the best compliment.
