My What If Year

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This book is like a balm for the soul of every over-achiever who has ever wondered what is on the other side of "having it all." With irreverence, unflinching honesty and irresistible warmth, Miranda gives us permission to get curious, hold tight to the wisp of a new idea, and honor the voice that whispers, "what if there is more?"
