Summary

An extraordinary true story of resilience, courage, hope and finding lightness after the heaviest of landings.

What if we could figure out a way to see beauty in every part of living—the world, its people and its lessons? To still be able to feel pain and sadness, but see it all as part of this wild ride we call life? We often tell ourselves we'll be grateful when we have that job, or get that car, or that outfit. But what if we could just change our mindsets to one of wonder, of appreciation, of awe in simply being?

For years, Emma Carey was a regular young adult who would wake up and go about their day on autopilot, someone who would look at a sunset and feel unaffected, someone who was living, but not really alive. That is, until something happened that enabled her to really see life for the gift it is. Emma was in a skydiving accident that made her a paraplegic. This book is not just about Emma's fall from the sky and how she learned to walk without ever regaining feeling in her legs but also about the beliefs and ideas that helped her survive. These are the beliefs and ideas that make her the happiest she's ever been.

While Emma did eventually learn how to walk again, her changed mindset is the thing she continues to be proudest of, and most grateful for. Emma's story is one that will capture your heart and heal your mind, as she guides us through what she has learned along the way. With a maturity and evenness beyond her years, as well as a down-to-earth approach to hope and possibility, Emma shows us how to live in the world when what we expected doesn't fit our reality. She shows us how to really look, and see beauty where it is.

Emma

Well what a brave woman Emma is. Can’t believe she came through all that when the odds were against her from her accident. Never meant to walk again but boy did she and much more.

Life altering

This book came to me at the perfect timing.
I’ve followed Emma for many years, but this gave a whole new insight into her journey. What I love is how much every word resonates with me, as a fellow human, going through challenges and the ups and downs of life. She writes and narrates so genuinely and eloquently, in a way that speaks to your heart- and makes you want to make a change and look at life as beautiful, because that is exactly what it is.
I will undoubtedly be sharing with my loved ones, and look forward to reading/listening again.
Highly recommend for anyone who is human.

Thank you, Emma.

Learned a lot from this book

Loved this book. Will listen to it many times in the future I think. Makes you look at yourself as much as it helps you understand the perspective of another that is just trying to make there way through this world. Be grateful for what you have.

Emma is so inspiring, what an incredible woman

Such a heartfelt story of Emma overcoming and acceptance of such challenges in her young life. This story was so much more than her spinal injury.

Best book i’ve reas this year and one i already know i’ll come back to regularly.

Emma tells her story so eloquently and raw, it’s a thing of beauty. She’s not afraid to delve deep and share the most difficult parts of her journey. She tells us she doesn’t like the word inspiring, but man she is. You’ve given me strength and a positive outlook on life and can’t thank you enough. ❤️
