TEN RADICAL VIEWS

FOR A RICHER LIFE

This quirky self-help book combines philosophy, spirituality, environmentalism and social commentary, offering helpful ways of seeing in a changing world.

‘Her storytelling is masterful, accessible. And the biggest gift of this flowing, entertaining read is that I came away feeling enriched, motivated and touched by some kind of fairy dust. There is indeed an effervescence, a magic, between the covers of this delightful book. In the final chapter the author challenged me: "You make your story …". This book will do just that. It’s an uplifting and empowering read.'

– Lynton Burger, author of She Down There and fellow of the International League of Conservation Writers
