The Life Brief

The Simple Tool to Unlock What You Really Want from Life

Summary

"The ultimate tool to set us on our true path towards success and joy"
Deepak Chopra

"Bonnie is Oprah - meets Brene Brown - meets Simon Sinek."
Elle Harrison, author of Wild Courage

We all have moments when we doubt the path we're on. So ask yourself: what do you really, really want? And how can you make that happen?

Making meaning out of messiness, The Life Brief distils the practice of brand strategy into its simplest, clearest, and most effective form to help you realign your path with your dreams - personally, professionally, culturally and spiritually.

World-leading strategist Bonnie Wan first encourages you to Get Messy, with ways to cut through limiting beliefs and false assumptions about what's possible. Then her guidance to Get Clear offers prompts for finding clarity around what you truly, deeply want. And finally, Get Active catapults you into the steps to making those desires a reality.

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.

You cannot have it all, but you can have all that matters
