Loving the Life Less Lived provides a perfect insight into Gail Mitchell’s world.
Have you ever heard of the saying never judge a book by its cover?
Well, the cover of Living the Life Less Lived has a title that fits the story and a picture of an orange, black, and white butterfly.
I was delighted when I was given the opportunity to review this book for the book tour during Mental Health Week 2017.
Firstly because I also suffer from depression and anxiety and secondly because having read so many things about these conditions, I wanted to see if Gail’s book offered information that I hadn’t come across before, which it did.
Gail decided to write a book about her anxiety and depression in her 40s and how she became inspired by a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco that her mum brought for her as a gift.
Living the Life Less Lived is a book in which Gail is totally honest about her life and struggles, which I can relate to.
Like myself, Gail struggles with keeping a job and spends years looking for a cure until she starts to accept her illness.
She uses tools that help her learn and understand herself, and she then puts a positive stance on life.
She also shares her fights and victories in this book along with some tips on things that have helped her on her journey to living with mental health.
If you or someone that you know struggles with depression and anxiety purchase and read Living the Life Less Lived and you will definitely take something positive away from this.
I am impressed by the ways in which Gail kept taking herself out of her comfort zone and bouncing back, especially when she took the courage to travel to the US and Brazil and meet up with total strangers.
Gail is an inspiration, to many people who suffer from mental health. She is courageous and determined to make the most of life, and this positivity is what’s required to become a mental health ambassador.
You can purchase this book is available on Amazon Kindle this week for just 99p.
