This book is full of nuggets for those individuals of a "growth mindset" and want to overcome adversities in life and move forward to a fulfilling life.
A favorite quote: "Consider your options and pivot when obstacles come your way. You will learn to say confidently, 'I can handle this!' because of your resilient coping skills."
Another one of my favorite quotes is: "It's okay to have a bad day, but it's not okay to have a bad week. It's alright to talk about your frustration, but don't keep focusing on it (pain vs. suffering). Take positive action."
Laura has a concise method of having a hope-filled life no matter the hardships one faces. A growth mindset is achievable. You have a choice to stay stuck or rise above your circumstances. Laura has a genuine, down-to-earth way of presenting her information.
The pros of the book are that it is written in an easy format. She adds personal stories and historical stories of individuals persevering adversity, living life, and moving forward. She assists the reader in moving forward by "put in action" questions at the end of each section. The questions make one reflect and journal their experiences in order to be a survivor/victor rather than a victim. The choice is yours.
The cons of the book are in the eye of the beholder reader. If you are an individual of victim mentality or fixed mindset, this book will frustrate you and then again may help to snap out of victim mentality.

From the Publisher
Laura Mangum Broome understands what adversity feels like.
During 2020, personal hardship added more stress to an already devastating global pandemic.
- One month after surviving a successful heart transplant, Laura endured an unexpected divorce after 27 years of marriage. She felt betrayed, devastated, and broken.
- Five years prior, Laura ran her husband’s business while overcoming breast cancer and losing their adoptive son to suicide.
Laura had always been inspired by real-life stories of ordinary people overcoming extraordinary hardship through perseverance and hope. She reflected on those uplifting stories of resilience and decided to overcome her fears of starting life over at age 58.
It didn't happen overnight. Through perseverance and discovering hidden strengths, she experienced positive growth and rediscovered joy.
Laura is a victor. Her passion is to help others move beyond adversity and transform pain into purpose so they can thrive. You don't have to figure it out on your own. Her book can be your guide!
