About this audiobook

Brought to you by Penguin.

Let's be brief. What do you really, really want? And how can you make that happen?

When leading brand strategist Bonnie Wan found herself in a personal crisis - with a crumbling marriage, a big job and three young children - she didn't know where to turn. But having spent decades helping companies like Pepsi and BMW to articulate the essence of who they are, she realised that by turning her creative skills inwards, and constructing a simple and sharp articulation of purpose, she could galvanise personal fulfilment from the most chaotic of lives.

The resulting Life Brief saved her marriage (not once, but twice), catapulted her career, centered her parenting and opened up doors for serving others. Encouraging us to Get Messy, Get Clear and Get Active, Bonnie's three-step approach uses questions, prompts, and exercises to help us reimagine our life more deeply. This blueprint has already been transformative for thousands of other people, and now we can all learn how to break through the clutter, identifying the fears and beliefs holding us back, and create a life that is wholly our own.
