Reviews

If you only read one book this year, the updated The Reality Slap should be it.

Overall, I found this insightful book guides and supports the reader through their pain, reignites hope, and aids the discovery of a new sense of direction after The Reality Slap.

The Reality Slap, is not a positive thinking manual but a guidebook for how to live more comfortably inside your own head when life turns your world upside down.
