I’m so happy to introduce my book Lessons in Life School to you as a subscriber of Life Cheat Sheets. The book is a compilation of articles originally published as a series under the same name from Dec. 2022 - March 16, 2023 (available in the archives at brendabrayko.substack.com). This series was perhaps my most vulnerable writing as I explored and shared profound life lessons from courage to forgiveness and beyond.
The cover of the book is of my son Adam just before his high school graduation from Hong Kong International School in 2020. In it he is looking away from the camera and over the vista of the school. He is wearing his gown and decorated cap. I thought the image was perfect for capturing the spirit of the book - both embracing learning and the unknown future.
This is the fourth book I’ve self-published. I’ve been enjoying the challenge of self-publishing; there’s so much to learn! Every decision is up to me from the words on the page to the design of the cover and pages themselves. Books go through several drafts and also have other readers to spot what I might miss. Then I work with a local printer for print copies (again, more choices about paper and image quality) and with Amazon for the Kindle e-book edition and pricing.
Learn more about the book’s contents by viewing the YouTube video here.
I’m pleased to say this book is available in print at any gong event with me AND on Amazon as a Kindle e-book. Link is HERE. This thought-provoking book is perfect for illuminating your own lessons in life school.
PS. Don’t forget to leave an Amazon review of Lessons in Life School after you finish.
