Dr. Allen Lycka and Harriet Tinka both survived life-threatening situations in their lives. Dr. Lycka was misdiagnosed with a terminal illness. Harriet Tinka was kidnapped and beaten by a stalker. After experiencing these horrible scenarios, they were given a second chance and they decided to fight, turn their lives around and transform their trauma into triumph. As a result of their conjoined strength, The Secrets to Living a Fantastic Life came to life, serving as an inspirational self-help book.

The Secrets to Living a Fantastic Life contains several stories, all followed by a conversation between Dr. Lycka and Harriet Tinka, in which they discuss these stories and draw conclusions in order to get the point across. All the stories correspond to the “13 golden pearls” that both authors discovered through their shocking and terrifying journeys. The mentioned “pearls” represent positive qualities and/or traits that everyone should integrate into their lives.

The authors wanted to send the message that you are not alone and that you can overcome whatever you are dealing with right now, because “It’s not what happens… It’s what you do with what happens”. Most of us have faced the problems which are not even close to being as dramatic as the authors’ situations. This book will provide hope, help you develop the power of will, and show you how to move on and overcome the obstacles that life puts in your way. It will help you find the strength to not let yourself get deflated and discouraged.

The true story behind this book makes it different from the other self-help books. The stories that inspired authors to write this book remind us of how lives can change in a second and how often people take that for granted. Dr. Lycka and Tinka are on a life-transforming mission and their goal is to make the readers appreciate what they have and learn to live like there is no tomorrow.

I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. What makes it an especially interesting and attractive read is the way that it is written and edited. It is readable and easy to follow. The topics that the book deals with can be very serious at times, but the bits of humor cleverly serve as a tool to lighten the mood, while the book still maintains its seriousness. The quotes at the beginning of every story are a top-tier addition. I highly recommend this book to everyone that feels like they are stuck in a rut and are in need of something to help them turn their life for a better.
