  International journalist Amy Molloy spent a decade interviewing amazing people who've survived incredible challenges - from terrorist attacks, to natural disasters, breakups, breakdowns and the everyday events that can cause our lives to freeze. As a 'serial survivor' herself, Amy wanted to discover the secret formula that allows some people to move forward - joyfully - after difficulties, as she managed to. Amy was a child with obsessive tendencies, who became a teenager with anorexia and a 23-year-old widow. Throw in a family history of depression, a father paralysed from cancer and a tendency to have spiritual premonitions. It's a recipe for a messed up adult. Or is it? This insightful and honest book combines personal anecdotes with practical tools to help readers explore their memories, pinpoint their triggers and use their past to empower them. Don't let the worst day of your life be your greatest achievement.
