About this listen

Successful investment banker Jana has her life perfectly under control – her career is going exactly to plan. That is, until her brain decides otherwise. One day, Jana learns she has a tumour in her cranium that’s threatening to not only drastically shorten her life span, but change her entire personality along the way, too!

And so Jana, ever the restrained and controlled individual, suddenly goes haywire. With her tumour as a chaotic co-pilot, she starts making decisions the old Jana never would’ve dreamed of. She waves goodbye to her career and says hello to an impromptu trip to Greece. There, on the island of Samos, she crosses paths with Fabio, an irritating yet charming tour guide, who invites her on a trip to a “blue zone”: An area marked by above-average longevity. It’s the ultimate form of irony for someone who’s just received a death sentence. But it’s also the start of a madcap trip around the globe on a quest to find the secret to a long, healthy, and happy life. With each mile she travels, Jana’s choices grow wilder, her laughs get louder and the sparks between her and Fabio burn brighter. And of course, it’s the worst timing ever to fall in love – as her brain seems to develop more and more of a mind of its own!

A vibrant, fast-paced acid trip about the art of waiting until the end to really begin, and the surprising realisation that sometimes, a bit of chaos is all you need to make a fresh start.

I loved that this book was written by Lizzy Berger a German Writer which has been translated - perspective from a German and Italian was very refreshing - which I welcome, as typical American have become a 'tired and old' .
Adventure, travel, a story of friendship, patience and understanding and avoidance. Narration was great 'the omelette' the voice of reality, was very grating, however. Enjoyable ! Hope we will hear more from author Lizzy Berger

I couldn't wait to keep listening to this, loved the different country adventures. Loved learning about the Blue Zones.

The story was fine but the characters Yana and Fabio both felt underdeveloped. Yana especially didn’t suit the background given to her - maybe it was the influence of the performance rather than the writing - but her history didn’t match the present.

It was okay for an in-between books book
