Summary

I didn’t know how to live, or why. Nobody taught me. I had to learn for myself, the hard way. I had no choice, because if I didn’t learn how to make life better, then I couldn’t bear for it to continue. How should I live? What’s the ultimate goal of life? How can I make life better for myself and everyone around me?

Brian Back shares the answers he found to these questions, using compelling examples from his private and professional life, on his journey as a survivor of violent childhood abuse, from a poor working-class background, through to his current roles as counsellor, lecturer, and writer. He draws on foundational ideas from psychology, psychotherapy, counselling, sociology, spirituality, and religion, to demonstrate that at their heart, they share a fundamental truth. A universal truth and answer to the biggest problems and questions of life. It will break your heart and heal it, turn your tears to joy.

Change your thinking, change your life, and change your world.

Profile Image for Mr G.

A beautiful book

I knew (or thought I knew) Brian at school. I always though he was a nice reserved quiet lad who was a bit difficult to get to know. Wish I had made more effort. This is not just a self help book but a triumph of self awareness, and a journey towards enlightenment. Good on you Brian I cried and laughed along with you. A beautiful book.
