About this listen

Though you might feel fully formed, you never stop growing – you are always a work in progress. While you cannot control all that life throws at you, you can meet it on your own terms.

And far from being a passive prisoner of your past, you are its author – interpreting your experiences, creating an evolving story. At any stage, you can revise your interpretations – reassess the past, reframe the present, reimagine the future, and reset your life on a new course. There is always a chance to heal old wounds and to deal with unfinished business – and to do it better this time.

Fantastically simple, no nonsense explanation of life stages. Wish this had been written when I was in my 30s instead of my 60s. Will be recommending to everyone I know and buying for my adult children.

Everyone should read this.
