The Life List: Master Every Moment and Live an Audacious Life is your guide to designing the next magnificent part of your life, starting today. An energising, honest, at times hilarious and at times devastating call to action, this is a transformational, life-is-for-living handbook. And it belongs in the hands of every woman who yearns to do something more spectacular!

After turning 50, losing her former life partner to cancer and seeing her kids move on as young adults, Kate Christie was faced with the fact that life is too short. And it was time to do something about it. So Kate created the concept of a “life list”: A list of everything she wanted to do and be while she was still young enough to enjoy it. A list of abundant, joyful new discoveries and opportunities. Using her unique framework to inspire not only big goals but also real action, Kate shows you exactly how to design and implement your own life list. Why? Because it’s your turn. You are energetic, confident, comfortable in your skin, successful and ready for more. This is not a crisis: it’s a catalyst.

With The Life List, you’ll learn how to:

• Find a new perspective, identify what matters most and celebrate with gratitude
• Set and smash incredible, life-changing goals
• Embrace life’s endless possibilities while you’re still young
• Master every moment, with simple steps for living in the now and planning your future
• Create and manifest momentous experiences in your everyday life

Ruth Cooper-Dickson lives in the UK and used to drink a lot when she went out. Networking in the corporate world was always easier with a few drinks under her belt, but her passion for running marathons kept her drinking somewhat in check. It was back to back events which involved her emptying out her purse to a complete stranger that had Ruth asking the question, 'should I give up drinking?' So she did. And since then it hasn't been a straight forward path but Ruth has discovered more effective coping tools to deal with the big life stuff, she also just ran a personal best marathon too.

If you are a side hustle chaser or corporate high flyer, Ruth's story will inspire you to do the hustle hangover free.
