Book - Surfacing

Surfacing 3D 

Surfacing’ brings to life these stories, told by those who have lived these journeys. From a top businessman who attempted to take his life three times in one day to a former Springbok rugby player who could see no way forward and a new mother whose post-natal depression saw her dream of motherhood become a nightmare and more…

The book also includes the difficult journey of transgender as well as how bullying can impact a person’s life and a young man whose suicide attempt may have left him a paraplegic but whose life now couldn’t be fuller.
Above all it shows how these remarkable people learnt to overcome their personal mountains and go on to lead healthy, fulfilled lives – more than they’d ever hoped for. At the end of each chapter there’s also practical tips on how to manage these illnesses.
