Summary

In this Audible Original audiobook, Emma J. Bell tackles the ultimate question: why go through life merely surviving, when you could be thriving?

Drawing on the insights of 50 inspiring people who have suffered a wide range of trauma but are thriving nonetheless, Emma J. Bell has extracted nine enlightening secrets from their experiences. You’ll listen as they talk about how they found renewed purpose in life; how they learned to forgive rather than hold on to resentment; and how they developed practices to create calm and live authentically. Whether you want to apply their life changing lessons to your relationships, your work or the way you deal with setbacks or challenging past experiences, each story offers something different and inspiring for you to draw on.

These nine secrets, and the easy to apply practices that accompany them, will help you live your life to the fullest. If you no longer want to settle for just going through the motions and living on autopilot, and if you are determined to thrive instead, this is the audiobook for you!

Inspiring and full of invaluably helpful lessons

Emma has taken some of the most jaw-dropping tales of adversity and from each draws out some powerful lessons in survival and mental robustness. The audiobook is superbly narrated and that really brings the stories to life, the fact that it also contains the thrivers recounting their own tips and lessons in their own voice just makes it all the more powerful.

Couldn’t stop listening to it and have bookmarked lessons that were particularly relevant to me and will revisit them in times of stress or difficulty.

Thoroughly enjoyed this uplifting book.

Everyone should read this book.

A very insightful collection of stories. Each one compelling as the narrator does a fantastic job of keeping the reader interested due to the extremity of each example.

These people should be very proud of themselves. I am proud to know there are other possitive people in the world who have not stagnated due to their unfortunate circumstances.

I will re read and share this will as many people as possible. Thank you for a remarkable book.

Absolutely fantastic

I loved this audio book so much so I wish I could buy it in book form it would make it so much easier to go back and re-read the chapters of the thrivers that helped motivate and inspire me. The author had such a lovely way with her whilst speaking to the thrivers and told their story with compassion and love. I would absolutely recommend this audio book to anyone who is looking for a book that provides practical, easy tips to help with life when it gets tough.

Brilliant, would highly recommend

I have really benefited from the amazing stories of these thrivers and the research carried out by this author. I knew where I was going wrong with my poor mental well-being but I did not know how to bring about change to make my life better and to be happy - and this book really helped me understand how I can overcome all of my inhibitions, fears and self esteem issues with some truly inspiring stories and sound practical tips. I wish I had listened/ read this book sooner. Thank you to all of the thrivers for sharing your stories and to the author for all of the blood, sweat and tears that was clearly poured into creating this truly inspiring book, which I will listen to time again when life throws up its challenges.

I loved this book, it was so inspiring to hear so many personal accounts of overcoming the odds and thriving. I couldn’t stop listening. Emma pulls out really valuable insights from all the thrivers stories. Definitely definitely worth a listen.

A truly inspirational book

This wonderful audio book compassionately shares the stories 50 Thrivers that will not fail to inspire. With a genuine curiosity the author sympathetically sets about unearthing how people thrive in the face of often harrowing adversity and, through practical tips, makes it clear how the listener can apply life changing behaviours, and the ‘thrive’ mentality, to daily routine. This is a superb book that you will want to keep in your library and return to in the future.

Brilliant book which helped me so much

I absolutely loved this book. The real life traumas so many people have gone through are always difficult to hear- but they really help you put your own worries into perspective a lot. There were of course some issues which affected me and I could relate to more than others, and the book really helped me deal with some of own personal issues. I found it so inspiring to listen to how people had gotten through so many difficult times and it made me want to be a better person myself and deal with my own difficulties.
I have recommended this book to so many people and I will come back to it again and again. I loved that you could listen to it all as one, or take chapters at a time. Really brilliant book and I’m so glad I got it.
