Brave-ish

One Breakup, Six Continents, and Feeling Fearless After Fifty

De: Lisa Niver

Narrado por: Lisa Niver

Newlywed Lisa Niver was on the adventure of a lifetime. She had quit her job, rented out her condo, and was traveling around Asia. To the outside world, Niver was a woman living out her dreams of exploring ancient ruins in Cambodia and seeing orangutans in Borneo. In private, she was keeping a dark secret. But, when she found herself lying on a sidewalk in Thailand, looking up at the sky in severe pain, she knew things had to change. At age forty-seven, Niver found the courage to set course on a new life.

Feeling like a failure, pushing fifty, and moving home to her parents' house to start again from scratch, Niver started taking one tiny "brave-ish" step at a time. These small hurdles led to the challenge of trying fifty new things before turning fifty. Niver found herself traversing the world on a journey of reinvention, personal growth, and discovering what it actually means to be "brave."

While Brave-ish chronicles Niver's inspiring expeditions to distant corners of the world including Myanmar, Cuba, Morocco, Kenya and Mongolia this is more than a travelogue. Niver's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of perseverance. Brave-ish inspires listeners to dream big, take risks, and embrace the unknown to create a life filled with wonder and excitement, even when courage seems elusive.

Interesting tale of how life turns out how it should

Best laid plans, as they say… you cannot always plan a perfect life but in the end it can turn out better than you expected. Fred sounds horrible and I kept thinking she had so many red flags. But the relationship taught her some things and leaving him helped bring her into her own. Glad she’s doing life on her own terms now.

Listening to a Junior High Diary

This book is so boring. It’s like listening to a Junior high school girl read her diary to you.
