Why I wrote Your Year For Change
I didn’t intend on writing another book, especially at the time my publisher requested a new one. I had a newborn baby, was physically unwell, sleep-deprived, and parenting solo. My first book's success, The Top Five Regrets of the Dying—an international bestseller—added further pressure to my limited mental space. How on earth could I fill such shoes again? Would this book stand up to people’s expectations?
As I sat with my resistance and personal life challenges I realised, this was exactly why I needed to write, Your Year For Change. Sometimes life is so full that even a small dose of inspiration can do wonders.
So, I embraced the opportunity and amongst the upheaval, remained committed to my own practice of regret-free living. I created this book to empower time-poor individuals with short snippets of inspiration. Despite the busyness of their lives, I offered little moments to pause and re-centre.
Your Year For Change went out into the world more quietly than its predecessor, yet what I didn’t realise then was how it would still inspire thousands—and become the favourite of all my books amongst many of my readers.

“Magnificence: It is who you are when you are free of your own judgements.
It is also who you are when you are free of others’ expectations.
It’s who you are at the very core of your being.”
