Alacrity: motivational biographies

Have you ever wondered why rock bottom is a devastating destination for some and a timely trampoline for others? Why some succeed in the pursuit of their passionate proclivities and others don’t? Why diversity is a natural benefit – not a burden – for society?

Allow this book to remind you of real power; of real strength; of real meaning: your human spirit! Appreciate yourself more by sharing the rocky road trip that many stars have travelled. Behold the bumpy road of life for all of us. Learn about others to better understand your own life. Further reinforce that you are an integral part of the quality of the life you experience within and around you. You are important. You are essential. You enrich our collective culture. Our purpose is bigger than ourselves.

Enjoy the eclectic assortment of 80 unofficial profiles, spanning the last six hundred years. Sports stars, entrepreneurs, musicians, artists, actors, authors, and all-rounders. ‘Stars’ struggling alone in the darkness of their doubts before they could shine brightly; beautiful flowers hidden as basic bulbs until they bloomed; people turning ‘disabilities’ into super abilities; and a person even going from being homeless (twice) to becoming a billionaire. Reading these stories will reveal that your emotional experiences are shared, as you savour many ‘wow – I never realized!’ epiphanies. We all carry within us similar capability to triumph and to inspire. Amidst the light-hearted humour and factual trivia within this book, are also discussion topics for you to share.

Drowning in a deluge of data? The pervasive proliferation of computers has brought the external material world into full focus. We take selfies of our physical appearance, but how many of us stop to take emotional, mental, and spiritual selfies. Whilst building empathy and awareness by examining other’s lives, let’s join together to take stock of our own wellbeing to recognise that how we feel is merely a moment in time. A snapshot in anyone’s life does not represent our full existence. Our journey – together – is so much more!
