Fun fact: Hitting rock bottom doesn’t physically hurt.

Not so fun fact: Emotional, spiritual, and mental rock bottom
sucks.

In just such a rock bottom moment, Laban Ditchburn sought help.

Sure, he had great friends, a great career, and weekends that would go down in the annals of history. But underneath it all, Laban was crippled by addiction. Drugs, gambling, drinking, sex, junk food, negative self-talk, limiting self-beliefs ruled his life, catalyzing countless acts of stupidity that nearly landed him in the grave.

This is the story of how one party boy went from zero to hero, and how you can too.

If you’re slowly spiralling out of control; if you’re not having nearly
as much fun as you used to; if you know you need a course
correct, like NOW; these raw, real-life stories will give you the
permission to change, all on your terms.

If you have a feeling deep inside that you’re destined for much
greater things…If you know there’s a reason for being on this
planet, this is YOUR time to take massive and courageous action.

Now is the time to Bet On You!

Book Reviews

Vulnerability + A Great Writing Style = A Fantastic Read

From the opening chapter, I was struck by Laban’s vulnerability. This is something I resonate with, being very open with the world about my own story and experiences. Being open is such a powerful way to liberate yourself while helping others – Laban is a great model for the power of this approach.
