About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Let's be brief. What do you really, really want? And how can you make that happen?

When leading brand strategist Bonnie Wan found herself in a personal crisis - with a crumbling marriage, a big job and three young children - she didn't know where to turn. But having spent decades helping companies like Pepsi and BMW to articulate the essence of who they are, she realised that by turning her creative skills inwards, and constructing a simple and sharp articulation of purpose, she could galvanise personal fulfilment from the most chaotic of lives.

The resulting Life Brief saved her marriage (not once, but twice), catapulted her career, centered her parenting and opened up doors for serving others. Encouraging us to Get Messy, Get Clear and Get Active, Bonnie's three-step approach uses questions, prompts, and exercises to help us reimagine our life more deeply. This blueprint has already been transformative for thousands of other people, and now we can all learn how to break through the clutter, identifying the fears and beliefs holding us back, and create a life that is wholly our own.

Critic reviews

The Life Brief is more than a book. It's an invitation to play, to engage with key questions about our values and beliefs, and to create a unique life play book. I had so much fun reading and engaging with this book!
The science behind how we generate our reality is clear, and now with The Life Brief we have the ultimate tool to set us on our true path towards success and joy. As much a book as it is a rite of passage for all of us seeking to get down to the essence of who we are, what we desire, and how to get it.
We all have stories we tell ourselves about our lives, but what Bonnie Wan so rightly points out is that it is often the questions we avoid that hold the most value. In The Life Brief, she combines the candid self-reflection of the therapy room with the warmth and humor of a hard-won personal journey, then harnesses the executive power of a top industry professional to create a wholly unique guide to living that is both practical and accessible, moving and deeply meaningful. It will transform the lives of everyone who reads it.
Bonnie is an astonishing life force-and The Life Brief is an artful tool that can help you discover you are one too. Bonnie is a brilliant companion on the road to more aliveness. This book is a wonderful invitation. Take it.
The Life Brief is a smart and helpful tool for all of us trying to explore and define and execute our purpose
Bonnie Wan shows parents if you want to be there for your children, you need to take care of yourself. A great resource for parents in these difficult times and beyond, it is an inspiring and important way of thinking. I highly recommend The Life Brief as a way to keep your life and the lives of your kids on track.

Remember that time when you really took the time to craft (or REcraft) your life, your purpose and chart out your legacy? No?!? Well now you have the blueprint and guide to do just that. Bonnie's thinking and process cajoles the most stubborn and nurtures the most hesitant but delivers the EXACT process that each of us
need. Read this book and get ready for your attitude and life to be transformed!
The Life Brief is a deep process of inquiry that will get you crystal clear about what you want and motivate you to achieve it.
Bonnie Wan writes as she lives - with heart, wisdom and depth. The Life Brief hooked me like the very best TV drama, where you fall in love with the characters, seeing their struggles and joys laid bare. The tools Bonnie offers are powerful, crafted with her signature depth, intelligence and sharp understanding of human nature. Even as an 'expert' in the field personal development, I found the way Bonnie framed her stories and tools helped me reveal new insight about myself. Bonnie is Oprah - meets Brene Brown - meets Simon Sinek. Her passion for The Life Brief is evident, and her love of being on stage a huge asset to getting this book out there.
