About this listen

From the best-selling author of The Year of Living Danishly: How to make big decisions, be more resilient, and change your life for good.

Having spent the last few years in Denmark uncovering the secrets of the happiest country in the world, Helen Russell knows it's time to move back to the UK. She thinks. Maybe. Or maybe that's a terrible idea. Like many of us, she suffers from chronic indecision and a fear of change. So she decides to give herself a year for an experiment: to overhaul every area of her life, learn how to embrace change and become a lean, mean decision-making machine.

From how to cope with changing work lives and evolving relationships to how we feel about our bodies, money and well-being, Helen investigates the benefits of new beginnings, the secrets of decisive people and what makes changes last - and uncovers the practical life lessons we can all use to thrive when change is afoot and inject some freshness and magic if it's not.

This books follows on from Helen Russell's 'The year of living Danishly' and thankfully is just as interesting and funny. I'm so pleased it also has the same narrator as the first (such a pleasing listen).

Just as good as her first.

If you've listen to/ read Helen Russell's previous book a year of living danishly, then you'll understand her writing style and the way she incorporates elements of her life with Lego Man and little Red into the factual evidence and interviews with experts, which I found fantastic and a great way to follow along more on a learning journey rather than a book simply trying to teach you a new why of thinking. It feels like you're learning alongside Helen, which I found highly enjoyable.
I love the concepts and ideas discussed in Leap Year and feel that anyone looking to work on the big changes in their lives or simply their attitude towards change will thoroughly enjoy it and come away feeling like they've learnt something.

Helpful and a good listen
