“Brilliant book!”
Dr Daniel shares his personal experience of his triumphs and his tribulations with his mental health. How he pushed himself hard and how his mental health suffered for this. It also brilliantly showcased the stories of other humans who touched him and connected with him helping him through this journey, holding his hands. Brilliant Book! Definitely worth a read and a gift for someone else who might need the encouragement. Great job!

“Motivational!”
The book begins with a sense of hope and excitement, which I truly felt as a reader. The unexpected “plot twist” in Dr Daniel’s life and the journey that follows are all the more impactful because this is a true story.
Dr Daniel achieved what many would deem impossible – and then went even further!
I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking motivation, inspiration, or a way to unlock their own self-belief.
