About this listen
The New York Times Bestseller
Fear. Grief. Loss. Betrayal. Rachel Hollis has felt all those things, and she knows you have too. Now, she takes you to the other side.
With her signature humor, heartfelt honesty, and intimate true-life stories, #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Hollis shows listeners how to seize difficult moments for the learning experiences they are and the value and growth they provide.
Rachel Hollis sees you. As the millions who listened to her #1 New York Times bestsellers Girl, Wash Your Face and Girl, Stop Apologizing, attend her RISE conferences and follow her on social media know, she also wants to see you transform.
When it comes to the “hard seasons” of life—the death of a loved one, divorce, loss of a job—transformation seems impossible when grief and uncertainty dominate your days. Especially when, as Didn’t See that Coming reveals, no one asks to have their future completely rearranged for them. But, as Rachel writes, it is up to you how you come through your pain—you can come through changed for the better, having learned and grown, or stuck in place where your identity becomes rooted in what hurt you.
To Rachel, a life well-lived is one of purpose, focused only on the essentials. This is a small book about big feelings: inspirational, aspirational, and an anchor that shows that darkness can co-exist with the beautiful.

Good
I think the book is good. Has a lot of good points. Quite updated since talks about covid some, still I loose a little the overal point if there was one, but def. Worth a read or maybe two times to understand it better.

Rachel’s best book yet
I’ve followed Rachel for years and read her books. I loved this book. It’s so personal and honest it brought me to tears in parts. To anyone going through a tough time - and let’s face it that’s most of us in 2020 and especially for anyone feeling lost after a change or loss this is such a great manual. Heartfelt stories with practical advice. It’s one to buy for yourself and a friend.

A book I didn't know I needed to listen too
Rachel wrote this book whilst the World was shutting down due to covid-19; people were having to stay at home, to protect their hospitals from overflowing, protecting themselves and loved ones from a virus which was killing hundreds. Whilst in this global pandemic Rachel is also going through a divorce with her husband, dealing with home schooling children and keeping her employees employed. She had to pivot in a heartbeat.
As with all of her previous books Rachel tells you her story. Chapter by chapter, She shares the wisdom she has learned having lived through it. She gives you easy ways to cope with whatever you could be coping with. She also shares wisdom she has learned from others. The techniques have helped her heal for her own sake and her loved ones so she can show up every single day for them and herself. She is an inspiration, she cuts through all the BS and can slap you silly with her words because You need to hear them. If you want delicacy Rachel will not be that, she will not hold your hand but show you you are not alone and build you up from within using your own power and strength.
I am not going through a crisis, like many have over 2020, thankfully, at first I believed her words were for others going through awful times - which it is - but I found strength in her strength and joy in her joys. Rachel teaches you to find joy in the painful times to remind you every day to live. To be the glass half full! To see hope so you can heal. I am so glad I listened to her book, I think everyone should listen/read it. I know her words will help me in future crisis.
If you have read her other books some of the advice is similar, which makes sense as it is a routine she promotes daily - yoir dream 10, your daily 5 (my names for them) - the methods she promotes her dairy for and new Rise app. These techniques if not heard before can be very useful. She goes into more detail about the dream 10 list, which I did not know so I found this very useful.
A great book for the current pandemic which may help people get out of their own head, lift it high and to keep going.
Thank you Rachel for sharing this through everything 2020 has thrown at you.
