Tools for the Trenches

What happens when a master of personal transformation suffers unspeakable loss?

After thirty years of battling obesity and struggling with her finances, Elizabeth Benton transformed herself. She lost 150 pounds, eliminated $130,000 of debt, and committed herself to guiding other women through their own transformations. Her inspiring story and methodologies have touched millions of lives.

Then, in 2020, her daughter died. Lost and grieving, Elizabeth searched in vain for anything that might help. But the advice she found felt too out of reach. Too hard to put into practice.

Instead of giving up, she wrote the book she couldn't find.

No matter what you're trying to handle—from the most difficult loss to the small, day-to-day grievances that keep us from living our best lives—Tools for the Trenches provides the tools and perspectives you need to transform yourself from the inside out.

Full of exercises you can do immediately, with questions at the end of each chapter to help you apply every tool in your own life, Elizabeth Benton's Tools for the Trenches is the self-help book that can actually change your life—starting now.
