Diane Carol

Life in a Coma for 39 Years Diane Carol

There's that invisible little book that everybody quotes from, but no one actually has a copy of it, or has ever seen it. The book of rules that governs the whole of mankind - except me. It says things like: 'You can't do that'. 'You can't serve potatoes and pasta together'. 'You can't wear your slippers to the shop'. Well, I say, stuff that book. It exists only in our minds. This is the most bracing, abrasive and fearless self-help book you will ever read. After thirty-nine years of allowing other people to dictate her behaviour and attitudes - years that she now looks on as her 'coma' - Diane Carol came to the realisation that she could be her true self. Discarding inhibitions, daring to break off friendships that were not worth the effort, speaking out when she felt like it and ignoring unwanted advice, she learnt to love life - and wholly embrace the exuberant personality she had been suppressing. Now she offers others the chance to break free, shake off the past and discover what life is really about.
