Turning points are the cornerstones of our lives, marking new wisdom and provoking change, growth and learning. Initially it seems, they are unappreciated, recognised only in hindsight, mainly because they often arrive in the company of adversity.
This book presents turning points from some of Australia's most prominent achievers in sport, politics, entertainment, medicine and fashion. Personally interviewed by Perri Atkins, each personality describes their chosen path, the events that set them back, and the goals they achieved by maintaining a belief in themselves.
All were prepared to work hard and remain committed to their goals, regardless of who or what came against them. They were disciplined and focused, accepting the challenge and life's journey with gratitude. Somewhere in their past, a friend, a mentor, a mother, a child, bestowed on them all they needed to achieve the heights that many others might only ever dream of.
With 'Moments Of Truth' supporting vital research into the prevention and treatment of breast cancer, it is hoped the book will allow you to recognise your own turning points - giving you the chance to see them in a new light while reminding you of the richness of life and its countless opportunities.
