40 years devouring self-help products and searching for answers to life's struggles, Georgia Holleranen encountered nothing but disappointment, frustration and despair!

Until...she suddenly discovered herself to be a pretty capable and confident person!

Why was she so bulletproof? How did she get to be so calm, resilient, resourceful and level-headed? - Even in crisis. Was it age? Wisdom? Luck?

How can we make the best of our time on this planet, without letting ourselves get in the way?

With her background in the arts, education, neuro-linguistic programming, cognitive hypnotherapy....
