he average lifespan of a human being is about 80 years, according to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and most people experience heartaches, insecurity, loneliness and so on through those years.

For instance, her argument on being busy and how too much work can affect you is one of the many examples of a reminder to give yourself a break once in a while. She explains: “Even if you’re an extrovert, constantly being busy will eventually take its toll.”
While all elements throughout the book remain general for common people, the book mainly acts as a helpful reminder on things we may find troubling or confusing.
As an advocate for self-empowerment and independence, Croucher aims to inspire the world through her platform. You’re Crushing It! is a must-read for fans of her work and those who simply need reminding of how to face life with positivity. (vit/wng)
