I approached this with high expectations and, whilst there are some wonderful of moving stories within, came away slightly disppaointed.
For me it was just a little too disjointed. A lot of the personal stories were referred to in separate chapters and that meant that, for me, they lost a little of their impact.
I would have preferred a start and end to each tale without lots of “more about that later” as that would have made it a more coherent read for me.
Make no mistake though, there are plenty of stories and examples of the kind of sh*t (challenges) that life can throw at people and some of the sheer resilience shown is pretty darned humbling.
Death, disease and depression are amongst many issues tackled yet the book is overwhelmingly positive and testament to the old adage of what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
