Everyone knows that sometimes, life just sucks even world-famous actress, author, and creator Lilly Singh. In this book, Lilly provides a safe space where readers can learn how to create a sense of peace within themselves. Without sugarcoating what it's like to face adversity including Lilly's intensely personal struggles with identity, success, and self-doubt she teaches readers to "unsubscribe" from cookie-cutter ideals.

With her signature blend of vulnerability, insight, and humour, Lilly instructs readers to "be a triangle": You must build a solid foundation for your life, one that can be built upon, but never fundamentally changed or destroyed. As she puts it, we must always find a way to come home to ourselves "we must create a place, a set of beliefs, a simple set of priorities to come back to should life lead us astray, which it will."

Like a wise, empathetic friend who always keeps you honest, Lilly pushes you to adjust your mindset and change the conversations you have with yourself. The result is a deeply humane, entertaining, and uplifting guide to befriending yourself and becoming a true "miracle for the world." (From Penguin Random House Canada)
