Her unguarded prose pulls us in as closely for her endearing childhood memories of familial bliss as for the devastation of her parents’ divorce, and guides us gracefully through the roller-coaster ride of her career and her battle with cancer. Ultimately, Newton-John’s survivor story inspires a new appreciation for her perpetually sunny demeanor—and made us want to do a better job cultivating our own attitude of gratitude.

Don’t stop Believin’
Don’t stop Believin’ by Olivia Newton-John is a thoughtful autobiography that follows Newton-John’s life in her own words. What resonates with me is her steadfast focus on bettering her work singing and performing and her ability to have so much influence. Her ambition to deal with and manage her bouts with cancer and have it become a learning point not only for herself but sharing that understanding with others shows her genuine love for others. She’s honest and I appreciate her ability to convey that amidst all the various turning points of her life. This writing presents an inspired and inspiring woman. I definitely recommend it!
