Trade Review"Dr Susan Kahn has that rare ability of being able to communicate complex ideas into accessible, practical applications. She encourages us to never give up hope, to connect, to reconnect and re-emerge chrysalis-like to face the world anew. Truly a book for our times." * Prof Andreas Liefooghe, founder, Operation Centaur *
"An invaluable tool for those considering a change in career or just wanting the opportunity to reinvent themselves." * Zoe Sinclair, cofounder, This Can Happen *
"An inspiring guide for planning - and believing in - meaningful change." * Shahroo Izadi, behavioural change specialist and author of The Kindness Method *
"Offers energy, excitement and heartwarming inspiration to anyone interested in learning from those whose life path has taken a twist or turn they did not expect, or necessarily choose." * Rachel Ellison MBE, leadership coach and author *
"Highly recommend for anyone wanting to take a well-considered approach to planning their career." * Dr. Natalie Lancer, Chair, British Psychological Society’s Division of Coaching Psychology *
"Beautifully balances the theory with the practical, the honest with the hopeful, and the need to find acceptance with the need to find courage. This book brings together a range of different perspectives and tools to help reinventors to navigate this often-messy process and, most importantly, invites them to find self-compassion and look inside for answers." * Pauline McNulty, Co-founder, Playfilled *
"The insights are thoroughly grounded in psychological theory and philosophy, but the practical nature of the book and the wonderful examples make it both entertaining and genuinely useful." * Raul Aparici, coach, facilitator and Head of Faculty, The School of Life *
