Leap Year

How to Make Big Decisions, Be More Resilient and Change Your Life for Good

By: Helen Russell

Narrated by: Lucy Price-Lewis

From the best-selling author of The Year of Living Danishly: How to make big decisions, be more resilient, and change your life for good.

Having spent the last few years in Denmark uncovering the secrets of the happiest country in the world, Helen Russell knows it's time to move back to the UK. She thinks. Maybe. Or maybe that's a terrible idea. Like many of us, she suffers from chronic indecision and a fear of change. So she decides to give herself a year for an experiment: to overhaul every area of her life, learn how to embrace change and 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 investigates the benefits of new beginnings, the secrets of decisive people and what makes changes last - and uncovers the practical life lessons we can all use to thrive when change is afoot and inject some freshness and magic if it's not.

Loved it!

I loved the messages in the book and the little cheeky jokes along the way. The narration was excellent!

Exactly what I needed

Life is always changing and for some reason it’s still difficult for everyone to navigate. I’m in a whirlwind of big changes, and Helen helped me to see them in new perspectives. I want to go back through this and take notes, since I first listened during my commute. She shares information and advice without being boring, or worse, smug. She just shares. It’s like having coffee with a very well-read friend.

Loved this book!

Helen Russell is my new favorites author! Read Living Danishly before I picked up this one. Loved it just as much as the last one and can't wait for her next book!

Loved this book!

Really good book with great concrete suggestions on how to navigate this crazy world we live in. This is all done with great humor and self deprecation. As with her first book, the narration was outstanding. I really enjoyed this book!

Sad that it ended!

I hope she rights another! Can't beat inspiration mixed with terrific British humor! More please!
