關於本有聲書

How would you live differently if life gave you a second chance? Brian Pennie shouldn’t be alive today. His drug addiction was so bad that he was deemed too much of a risk for detox. Determined to confront his demons, he went cold turkey at home. On 8 October 2013, he was finally clean after 15 years of heroin addiction and something extraordinary happened: the world suddenly became beautiful. Given a second chance at life, he devoured every minute of it. Bit by bit he rebuilt his world, returning to university to study neuroscience in a bid to understand the source of his suffering. In this incredibly honest and inspirational narrative, Brian tells the story of how he turned a seemingly hopeless existence into a rich and rewarding life, showing that change is always possible, no matter how stuck we feel.

關於作者

My name is Brian Pennie and I experienced my first day clean on the 8th of October 2013 after 15 years of chronic heroin addiction. Instead of perceiving my addiction as a failure, I embraced a second chance at life and went to university to study the intricacies of human behaviour. Since then, I have become a speaker, writer, PhD student, self-development coach, and university lecturer. With a relentless belief that we are what we think, my mission is to show people that change is possible, demonstrating actionable steps through a lived experience.
