Discover the inspiring guide to inside-out transformation — with author Chris Appleton overcoming his dyslexia and proudly narrating the book in his own authentic voice to share his message of resilience and perseverance.

IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO CHANGE.

We all know that feeling: when you’re stuck in self-doubt, boxed in by the person you’ve been in the past, crippled by fear that you’ll never break free from the lies and insecurities holding you back. But what if you had the chance to reinvent yourself from the ground up?

World-renowned celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton gives us the hard-earned advice to do just this. After years of working with the most badass women on the planet, he’s seen firsthand how transformation is possible at any stage of life, even when society tells you that you’re “too old,” when it feels like the whole world is closing in on you, or when the person you thought you’d spend your life with is now your ex. You don’t have to feel limited by your roots. The comeback you want can be yours.

Filled with candid wisdom and deeply personal stories from Chris’s life and anonymous clients, this book is your invitation to take a seat in Chris’s chair and experience the inside-out transformation that you didn’t know you needed.

Best book I’ve read in a long time

Chris Appleton is like the friend, therapist and beauty consultant we wish we had. The audio version is narrated to perfection by Chris and the hard copy is also an excellent read (yes, I listened and read this). His story in inspirational and his advice is sound.
