If you only had one year left to live, would you live your life differently? What changes would you make? What dreams would you bring to life?
Dr Lakshinie Gunasiri is a paediatrician and coach who, when she moved from Sri Lanka to Australia, faced all sorts of new challenges. She had also been bullied at medical school, and realised she needed to make some serious internal changes if she wanted to create the beautiful and exciting life she had always wanted.
Personal empowerment is the key that helped Dr Lakshinie make the necessary changes and, in this book, she outlines her story of self-discovery. She shares the lessons she learned and gives five simple strategies or life principles readers can apply in their own lives. There are also 'life work' sections for each strategy so that you can self-reflect along the way.
According to Dr Lakshinie, the human brain is set to achieve one goal after another. If you wait until all your goals are achieved to enjoy your life, you will be guaranteed to have regrets. To have a life without regrets, you need to enjoy the process of achieving even if the goal is yet to be achieved.
Dr Lakshinie also posits that 'work-life balance' is a myth - that the idea we need to take holidays to rejuvenate is wrong. If you need to be rejuvenated, you are living life wrong. If you are living the life you truly want to live, you will be self-rejuvenating all the time.
With a curious eye, Dr Lakshinie dissects the different aspects of mental exhaustion to find the patterns and strategies that run our lives, helping the reader go on their own journey of self-discovery and growth. With that, she brings to life one of her own great dreams - to create a book that helps rapidly transform the reader into an empowered version of themselves with tools they can use anytime, anywhere.
