Very relatable. This is what I need at this point in time as I start a new chapter (60s)in my
Life. Am glad I read the “from strength to strength” book before listening to this.
I will love my adults children and friends to read this book or listen to the audio version.

Inspiring

This was well read and had lots of useful information for many different areas of life, work, family and relationships. It feels like a book I might need to listen to over and over through the years as it will likely be always helpful in some way

Informative and insightful

What better accompaniment to a walk in nature than a listen that focussing you on feeling better. A worthwhile read indeed. Simple and practical advice with a wholesome message to happiness.

Uplifting

This audiobook is FULL of remarkable information, that will change your life for the better. It is read beautifully by Arthur and Oprah. However, because it is crammed with fantastic knowledge, I need the physical book, so I can make notes and highlight passages, which will help me retain its wisdom.

I had the same experience with Paul McKenna’s superb book POSITIVITY. (A far deeper, smarter book than it might appear.) Sometimes just the audio is enough, sometimes it is not.

Really great, but I need a physical copy.

The addition of Oprah is meaningless outside of it will probably widen the audience, fair enough.

Solid approach but not adding to the debate.

Promises much
