Rebuilt to Last; Choose to Flourish

Heart-warming mental toughness.

When life knocks you down, you have a choice. Accept it or defy all the odds and focus on the road to recovery. This is a heart-warming story about Laura's incredible drive to literally get herself back on to her feet. It doesn't stop there; Laura also explains her techniques to build mindset resilience - mental toughness to keep going. There is something here for us all about how we look back and reflect on our own personal setbacks. Turning them in our mind to be a beneficial experience, we can move forward with determination and resolve to seek something better

Laura’s story is so inspiring. I love her message that resilience is not a “bounce back” but more like a crawl which humanises each of her triumphs along her challenging rebuilding journey. Her writing style is conversational, relatable, and packed with nuggets of practical tools and points to ponder of how we can tap into our own strengths to get us through any adversity in life. Thank you, Laura!

In life’s ups and downs, we can all struggle but real adversity can often be overwhelming.

Laura takes us through her story of how she has been overcoming adversity with a complete account her fight through a life-changing accident, to show that far from being superhuman, we all have the ability to succeed with determination and resilience.

Absolute must read !

Certain life events are impossible to predict and when we think all is fine we get knocked down by such powerful adversity that if we do not have the tools to manage we can easily break as we are unable to find a way out and cope with changes. This book narrates the true story of an incredible woman and her still ongoing recovery after a horrendous accident that literally changed her forever, but it changed her for the better as Laura Everest came out of if not only stronger but able to inspire others to manage adversity and become stronger also. Seriously recommended read if you are struggling and if you are not you will become even more grateful for everything you've got...

As a Physio for over three decades, motivating injured patients after a life-changing injury, is one of the challenges of my profession. Laura’s absolute diligence towards her rehabilitation and strength of character through so many surgeries and setbacks was and continues to be remarkable.

I learned a lot from working with Laura and the lessons from her book, Rebuilt to Last, are a must-read whatever your personal challenges in life.

Despite her truly awful accident, she is an eternal optimist with her glass more than half full. She exhorts us not to wait to be happy but to choose happiness first; not to compare ourselves to others; to let go of resentment. I think we all need such reminders in these turbulent and dare I say limiting pandemic times. In her book, she reminds us that studies prove that people with a clear purpose, live longer and healthier lives.

This is a truly inspiring story. If you are struggling or wrestling with decisions, how to improve your circumstances or you just need to be more kind to yourself I can highly recommend this book. This is a book I will read again and again.
