People who have read the book said…
“Life Rewritten is an inspired approach to overcoming adversity and achieving true change. I have been seeking to change since my second divorce and this book has given me a new approach to grow and take control of my life and how I live it!”
—Thelma Alane, Business Coach and Mentor
“Life Rewritten by Carrie West is an action plan to make your highest dreams come true. It’s a Swiss Army knife of a book—part memoir, part tool kit, part instructional guide—and definitely necessary life equipment.”
—Lisa Segal, Kicking Towards the Deep End and Jack Grapes’ Method Writing: The Brush-Up Book
“Life Rewritten is a brilliant gem of a book. The stories we tell ourselves about our lives too often turn into self-fulfilling prophecies of insecurity and complaints. Carrie West clearly and beautifully lays out a process that explains the basics of storytelling so that readers can see how they have created repetitive patterns that lead to familiar and unsatisfying results. Then she goes far beyond that. She marries classic storytelling with aspects of positive psychology that lays out an effective roadmap for personal transformation and success. While you can’t change the events of your past, Ms. West shows how you can shift your interpretation of those events and characters to make that past a powerful springboard to the life you always wanted. This is a thought-provoking book that takes the reader step-by-step through the author’s own life journey in a way that illuminates a path where old personal wounds can find the light of day to become a tool for transformation through understanding, forgiveness and love.”
—Richard Rossner, Writer, Voice Over Artist, partner in The Power of Play
“Follow the wise wisdom in this book and you will no longer need a therapist!”
—Madisyn Taylor, Cofounder, DailyOM
“Carrie West’s Life Rewritten is far from ordinary. She is a talented storyteller who shares her own story with honesty and openness while stepping aside to explain to readers how to achieve the retelling of their own experiences. Carrie provides prompting questions and exercises that create a step by step route for the readers to apply to their writing practice. I have learnt so much from it that I will be using in the future.”
—Pat Duckworth, Award Winning Author of ‘Hot Women, Cool Solutions; How to control menopause symptoms using mind/body techniques’
“Carrie West has a way with words.
In Life Rewritten I had a chance to do a deep dive into my own personal narrative… and recapture parts of My SELF-ness so long forgotten. As I meandered through Carrie’s adept guidance, her thoughtful way of anchoring new perspectives and other ways to approach my deep family wounding left unattended … a simple act of self acceptance made healing some of those missing nicks and boo boos to my soul a do-able foray through the emotional quagmire of blame, betrayal and deep loss.
Reading this book surprised me in the most tender way. Author Carrie West’s raw vulnerability and honest transparency is a generous touchstone to those of us still carrying wounds from the past. I discovered in this transformative way to actually both read and experience the author’s intention. I found an energetic shift occurred, and with Carrie’s apt guidance, I slowly began to unfurl those places where and why I chose to hide my Light.
As a creator myself and the founder of my healing company, The Power of Play… where adults discover that it’s never to late to tilt the picture of their life story and come at it from a new perspective … this book is a roadmap to one’s own deep authenticity. It is the delightful “gift with purchase” that Carrie has given to readers so generously. It is not just another chance to be who they really yearn to be, Carrie has shared her own hard-earned template for recapturing that part of ourselves no longer left behind and abandoned by our unresolved terror.
Carrie has given us all the chance to change our minds and our hearts as we meet the most authentic version of our SELF! I was empowered by Carrie West’s innovative approach to telling my very old stories in new, transformational and freeing ways.
—Rahla Kahn, Performing Artist , Teller and the founder of The Power of Play…where grown-ups get to Laugh More! Play Hard!… and Die Less!
About The Book
Life Rewritten
By Carrie KC West
When I attended the American Film Institute, it was due to my love of stories and storytelling. Stories were how I comforted myself in the madness and terror of my house when I was born. I endured trauma and panic from the moment I took my first breath. As a child, my family rejected me. I learned to fend for myself, sometimes with near catastrophic results. And yet, I am now a thriving successful adult. This book is the story of making peace with the people who as my family, should have protected me, but didn’t. Through understanding and healing, I built an amazing, extraordinary life. In telling my story, I want to inspire others that they can overcome anything.
