The Dawn of Hope is a book about the power of hope, and how learning and practising self-compassion, self-forgiveness and acceptance can transform our entire experience of life. Lisa's personal journey is proof that no matter what our stories have been, we all have a choice to change them. Through the awareness and acknowledgment of her own suffering, she shares how this opened her eyes to a new way of viewing herself, and then others. For over twenty years she had hidden an eating disorder, which controlled her world. It took some time to heal but the process made her able to experience the miracles that awaited her once she had the courage to look at herself more deeply. Lisa's insights are not only for those who have suffered from mental illness but for anyone wanting to live a full, happy and meaningful life.
