About The Best of How To Live a Fantastic Life

From the publisher's feed

As part of the human experience we have trials that seem to take the life right out of us, and sometimes that challenge can be quite literal like near death experiences. Other times we face relationship issues that devastate us in divorce, domestic abuse and more. The death of a loved one often makes the survivor stop living. Life can be tremendously cruel. It can shake you to depths many never come back from.
