A propos du livre

Revue de presse

I loved the book! It s really so deceptively simple, easy to understand and yet the more you read it, the more profound it becomes. It is powerful and life-changing and goes beyond those books [that are] so unforgiving of individual weaknesses and the ups and downs of daily life. This book gives the tools and, more importantly, the space to feel that it s OK to not always know best. Dr Sanda Ionescu, Sociologist & Business Coach --Author referral

What a remarkable book - original, immediately engaging and funny. One can t help but get taken along by the insight, gentleness and remarkable ability of the author to make a statement that stops you in your tracks. It really is a book for everyone and it has a charm all of its own. Dr Erica Warner, Clinical Psychologist --Author referral

Cheryl Rezek has rendered a great service to everyone who has ever wondered why life isn t quite what we want, or expect, it to be. Her clear and accessible explanation on how to regain a sense of balance and perspective [by] engaging with life, with all its complexities, its sorrows and its joys ... will provide the support that will enable us to tread caringly and carefully through life, balancing strength and flexibility and clearly seeing the links between our actions and their consequences. Pip Hardy, Director of Pilgrim Projects and co-founder of the Patient Voices Programme Life Happens is a book that I know I will read many times. Cheryl Rezek combines the depth of knowledge that comes from an experienced clinical psychologist with humour and easy advice. It encourages you to both like yourself and to recognize and deal with issues. It is a journey I can recommend! Roger Puttick, Marketing CEO I found this book extremely readable and thought provoking. In our sometimes very busy and need to aim high world, it made reflecting on the past and its effects on the future understandable. It is an easy book to dip in and out of.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Life happens to all of us - for better and for worse. Modern attitudes can often lead us to believe that life is all about success and pleasure, and being upbeat and high-achieving. They suggest that everyone is capable of everything, with no obstacle being too great to conquer. This message leaves little room for our humanness, vulnerability and imperfections. In addition, for those trying to cope with illness, addiction, life disruptions or relationship problems, a whole new set of life-impacting changes and demands are raised. We bring into this moment a condensed version of all our yesterdays, and we live out our beliefs about ourselves in a variety of ways every day. Paying attention to your life and making sense of what might have seemed senseless is one way of shifting from getting through your life to getting involved with it. This book is written by an experienced clinical psychologist who aims to create an interest in people about themselves by providing a straightforward, uncomplicated and totally accessible book. It looks to combine the curious nature of being human with an awareness of how we can approach life situations and difficulties in a mindful and thoughtful manner. A key aspect of this book, and what makes it so readable and different, is that it is realistic and human, serious and funny, quirky and direct. It lays out the information and then gives you the choice. It s for anyone - men, women, the well, the ill, parents, professionals or anyone who makes decisions not only about their lives but about those of others. Essentially, it s for everyone, especially for those who would never even consider reading something like this.
