In this unique book, Mike Wash shares a wealth of personal wisdom drawn from real life experiences. The examples come from a variety of contexts, including home, leisure and work. He has worked in health, education and business settings. He tells impressively honest stories of gain and of loss, of celebration and of suffering, of joy and of regret, of achievement and of failure. In the telling of these truths we find the inspiration to reflect upon the rich tapestry of our own lives: our values, beliefs, relationships, choices, decisions, failures, successes, hopes and dreams. The book gives plenty of information and ideas but more than that, it gives the reader hope. The hope that can lead to an honest reappraisal of our own experiences, and the confidence to be the person we most want to be. Who would benefit from this book? Anyone who wants to make the most of their life, and learn about living
