Easy read. Great reminder to have perspective and that practising gratitude, empathy and mindfulness will ultimately lead to happiness. While there are gems throughout this book (no pun intended), a future reader should note that it is more of a memoir than self-help. You should also probably be somewhat aware of Australian sport and our sporting stars as a lot of them pop up in the book.

A brilliant, inspiring read/listen. Hugh is a natural story teller & this one has some great takeaways.

mmm, I've let this one sit with me for a day and I think I've collected my thoughts... I understand what the author was going for but some things just didn't quite sit right with me.
I understand that this book has probably helped people and I think the message is clear (Gratefulness, Mindfulness, Empathy). But we really only scrape the surface of what this means. We don't really go into depth of how to apply it. For example, in the last half of the book we hear the Van Cuylenburg is delivering the "Resilience Project Talk" to schools, lecturers, and elite athletes around the country. We hear that he participates in this talk for hours and hours on end but we never definitively know what is spoken about in these talks? To me, it seems like his message is to "be grateful" because a little boy in India has it "worse" and he's grateful. It also felt more like a memoir/telling of how the Resilience Project came to be rather than a "self-help" book. + LOTS of sports references and actual name drops too btw, so warning about that lmao
I understand the message, but the delivery unfortunately fell flat for me (2.5stars)
