When the World Kicks You in the Teeth: How to Get Back Up Again (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781983089664)

Life can be uniquely challenging sometimes and during our darkest moments, we have all desperately looked for an answer to our problems. On my 40th birthday, I became one of those seekers and made a promise to myself that I would write down the answers that I found during my journey.

This book is the completion of that promise and I hope you find it of use during your own troubles. When it feels like the world is continually kicking you in the teeth, this book gives you some new tools to fight back with and get you back on that beautiful road of life.

Written from a wealth of personal experience, this book covers a multitude of difficult topics that could prey on the weary traveller of life. I use a combination of my own real-life disasters and hard-won insights, to explore some simple free mental and emotional techniques that anyone can try to weather the storm. Then hopefully you will still come out smiling no matter what disasters life throws your way.

I cover many common pitfalls and some not so common including recovering from a broken heart, illness, homelessness, the loss of a business, financial difficulties and subsequent bankruptcy. I talk through depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, fear, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. I discuss what self-love really looks like, and why it is super important to be your own best friend when you feel friends may be temporarily thin on the ground. I explain how to identify and deal with everyday toxic relationships including your own inner relationship, before telling the story of how I survived an encounter with a convicted murderer that could have led to my demise had I not understood how to identify a toxic person.

This book is a hard-hitting piece of writing with some lighter moments that will guide anyone who is willing to just give it a try. If you have had enough of life's knocks and are ready to work for a change then this is the book for you.
