How do you survive and thrive when life throws you devastating curveballs or overwhelming challenges?

This led Heidi to wonder how others cope with monumental adversity. She talked with individuals from around the globe who have faced immense obstacles and found the strength to persevere and flourish. Herein are their powerful stories, which tell of loss, betrayal, and disease, the ravages of fire, hurricane, and war, of situations that severely test the human spirit. Yet the thread that unites them all is resilience.

How did these people endure and triumph? How did they turn their wounds into wisdom? Even in the darkest moments, they maintained or resurrected hope. These real-life sheroes, heroes, and badasses chose to Look Up and expand into a new life. Listen to their stories and be inspired.

Wonderful diverse stories of resilience

The book is inspiring…it gives hope to all of us, no matter what challenges we face.

using clips from the ones who's story it was

Heidi is a phenomenal author. She really wove these amazing stories into a powerful book. I recently moved cross-country and it was really an amazing listen for those long days on the road. I love audible for the ability to be able to reflect on personal trials and tribulations and to recognize where I am now, from where I once was. I think everyone has a lookup story of their own and this was a great way to take pause and celebrate that with these amazing people's stories.
