'makes some pretty big promises - but with practical life lessons, witty first-hand experiences and no-BS advice, it really does what it says on the tin' Stella Like many of us, Helen Russell suffers from chronic indecision and fear of change. So she decides to give herself a year for an experiment: to overhaul every area of her life, using change theories from the worlds of business, psychology and neuroscience, to become a lean, mean decision-making machine. From how to cope with changing work lives and evolving relationships, to how we feel about our bodies, money and well-being, Helen uncovers the benefits of new beginnings, the secrets of decisive people and what makes changes last. Packed with practical life lessons, Leap Year reveals how we can thrive when change is afoot - and inject some freshness and a little magic if it's not. Helen Russell is a journalist and the bestselling author of The Year of Living Danishly. She is married with three children and a very scruffy dog.
