REVIEWS

 

I've just read Regine's book and am reflecting on a powerful story, told with dignity and courage.

 I'm focused on, because it's about her.

Regine is an amazing person to have done so much with her life in the face of high levels of abuse, ill treatment and adversity at almost every turn.

It's honest and confronting, but Regine skillfully keeps the narrative positive throughout her story.

Regine's writing style is quite direct: she avoids nothing.

She hides nothing.

Her story is compelling, it engages the reader in a way that frequently draws them to reflect on

their journey through life.

Regine succeeds because she confronts her setbacks head-on and refuses to let herself

succumb to them.

She has had her dignity stolen on numerous occasions, but she never loses hope and always remains resilient.

Learning from her often painful experiences, Regine has overcome her demons, conquered

adversity (she epitomises the motto of the Royal Australian Air Force: 'Per Ardua Ad Astra')

and has created a bright and happy future through her integrity and strength of character.

Alexander den Heijer might have had a person like Regine in mind when he wrote

'Never chase happiness, love, passion or success.

These things will find you when you start chasing opportunities to make a difference in people's lives.' Regine's career is full of outstanding examples of doing just that.

I recommend this book to anyone with an interest in humanity.

It is a succinct story authored by a kind and gentle person on how to live a decent life.

​Regine Andersen’s book contains two parts.

In the first part, Regine recounts events from her childhood and adulthood that forged the woman she has become.

From having to flee a dictatorial regime to experiencing abuse as well as other tragic events, the child and young woman found the strength to stay positive and overcome dreadful challenges. Regine is an inspiration for all women (and men) who suffer in silence and struggle to defeat adversity.

The second part of the book is a self-help guide that step-by-step highlights strategies to find the power to regain control of our lives.

The instructions are easy to follow, give exercises to practice and self-assessment to record progress. I enjoy reading Regine’s book and recommend it to anyone interested in wellbeing and self-development.

Regine details her life experiences in a way that is striking and inspiring.

The author's writing style is unique and engaging, and there is much to learn from the way she overcomes adversity and continues to keep a positive outlook on life.

- HARRY RUST

​

I was absolutely in awe of Regine's in this book as she tells the challenges that are thrown up in one lifetime.

The strength to overcome these at the time and remain as positive as she is today is such a credit to her.

A very interesting story and a great read.

- MARISE PETCHELL

​

Regine has remarkably encouraged people to overcome some of life's most significant

challenges.

In this book, she helps her readers be brave by helping them to face their demons and

conquer them through the strategies she's learned over the years and taught.

​

Stumbling Blocks or Stepping Stones can help achieve positive changes in people's lives

by teaching you how to use conscious choice as a stepping stone.

 

This book is a must-read!​
