About this listen
An extraordinary true story of resilience, courage, hope and finding lightness after the heaviest of landings.
What if we could figure out a way to see beauty in every part of living—the world, its people and its lessons? To still be able to feel pain and sadness, but see it all as part of this wild ride we call life? We often tell ourselves we'll be grateful when we have that job, or get that car, or that outfit. But what if we could just change our mindsets to one of wonder, of appreciation, of awe in simply being?
For years, Emma Carey was a regular young adult who would wake up and go about their day on autopilot, someone who would look at a sunset and feel unaffected, someone who was living, but not really alive. That is, until something happened that enabled her to really see life for the gift it is. Emma was in a skydiving accident that made her a paraplegic. This book is not just about Emma's fall from the sky and how she learned to walk without ever regaining feeling in her legs but also about the beliefs and ideas that helped her survive. These are the beliefs and ideas that make her the happiest she's ever been.
While Emma did eventually learn how to walk again, her changed mindset is the thing she continues to be proudest of, and most grateful for. Emma's story is one that will capture your heart and heal your mind, as she guides us through what she has learned along the way. With a maturity and evenness beyond her years, as well as a down-to-earth approach to hope and possibility, Emma shows us how to live in the world when what we expected doesn't fit our reality. She shows us how to really look, and see beauty where it is.

A reminder of the joy of life
It was a pleasure to hear Emma's story not only in her own words but in her voice. If you can read or listen to this story and Emma's reminders to appreciate what you already have, then you must.

Brilliant uplifting memoir
Thank you Emma for sharing your story with the world. I listened to the audiobook version and every time I listened I learnt a new insight or wisdom from you. Your challenges, your struggles but most of all your joy and enjoyment of life. So well written and easy to read. Thank you

beautiful, empowering, wow
"if you can, you must"
I bought a physical copy because I loved this book so much! I highlighted my favourite parts and the book is now almost entirely yellow.
a real 'puts life into perspective and makes you grateful to be alive' sort of a book.
thank you Emma for sharing your beautiful story.
