About the author
Catherine DeVrye
27 books6 followersExpelled from English in high school, Catherine DeVrye went on to become the bestselling author of 9 non-fiction books, translated into over a dozen languages—including a #1 business bestseller in Australia and Taiwan.
Her memoir made bestseller lists in Australia and Canada. But she’s most excited about book #10 'Beyond Timbuktu: Journeys of Hope & Humanity' more than a decade in the making.
Born in Canada, educated in the USA, and now based in Australia, Catherine has travelled to over 150 countries, sharing stories that reveal a world far kinder and more connected than headlines suggest.
Her work has been endorsed by Sir Edmund Hillary, Edward de Bono, Bryce Courtenay, Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen, with her latest book carrying jacket comments from Lonely Planet founder, Tony Wheeler, Tim Costello, Hugh Mackay and Greg Mortimer.
A former IBM executive, named Australian Executive Woman of the Year & twice voted Australian Keynote Speaker of the Year, she’s inspired audiences on 5 continents with humour & practicality.
With Mother Nature as her muse, she’s swum with sharks, cycled the Andes, climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, trekked beyond Everest Base Camp, volunteered with street kids in Vietnam, and carried the Olympic Torch at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.
An “accidental author” who writes from experience and from the heart, Catherine’s mission remains simple: helping others help themselves.

My favorite is Henry Ford "Whether you believe you can or you believe you can - you're right either way." So true.

I do t think this book was really designed to be read cover to cover like I did. About half-way through I was over the positivity 😝

This is a really good book to carry around with you wherever you go. In hard times all you need to do is take it out, open it, and then you'll feel so much better and have more hope!
