Jane's Jam: Inspiration to Create Your Super Awesome Life by Jane Enright

 


Jane's Jam
is a blueprint to navigate personal and professional setbacks, something we all need during these turbulent times. The author’s first book, Butter Side Up, explored hardships Enright faced during her worst year, but her latest focuses on the framework she developed to bounce back from her struggles. 

She calls her approach, the OMG playbook, which encourages “outside in” thinking and taking steps to practice mindfulness and gratitude. She believes difficulties, when viewed through the right lens, can become opportunities. 
 
Enright explains this process in 12 chapters and a summary. The “Go Routes” are activities she provides to make this easy to incorporate into daily living. She also includes 52 inspirational quotes from her previous book and additional resources, and she references motivational writers and studies that back her claims. 
 
Numerous examples of sports figures, such as Terry Fox and others who have transformed their lives, are an inspiring read. Some may even want to become head coach of their own lives using Enright’s strategy.
