EARLY READER TESTIMONIALS

A companion and guide

I already know this is a book that I will revisit often as a companion and guide. It provides both a framework and a narrative that inspires the reader to discover who they really are and, more importantly, why they must find that out and put it into action. Jane Gunn – The Barefoot Mediator and author, The Mole and the Mountain

 

Absolutely loved this book.

The combination of autobiography, biography and insightful personal development makes it a recipe for success. Captivating, educational and entertaining, this book is a trifecta of great reading. Its unique format will spur your personal growth no matter what your age. The author’s viewpoints, combined with her grandfather’s prisoner of war experiences, create a superb and compelling read. I read it in one sitting and then went back to study it again. Tim Durkin – healthcare leadership expert

Steeped in wisdom and insight

In an age where storytelling is a vital skill, Focus on Why shines as a beautiful example of this art, steeped in wisdom and insight. 

Amy masterfully weaves her purpose framework into her narrative, making the lessons and questions land deeply and resonate with the reader. There is a delightful cleverness in how she integrates these elements organically, avoiding any sense of clunkiness or predictability. 

This charming tale of her own personal family history will stay with you long after you’ve turned the last page. It’s a book that doesn’t just tell a story but also has the power to change lives, offering profound reflections and practical guidance. Focus on Why is more than just a read; it’s an experience that promises to transform your perspective and ignite your purpose. Helen Chorley – angel investor, board advisor and keynote speaker

 

With you for life!

This is a beautiful gift, a golden opportunity for you to look at your current reality in relation to your values and purpose. If these are not aligned then Amy provides suggestions and solutions to change that so you can feel connected to your purpose and therefore to yourself. The book takes you on a journey through Amy and George’s stories of purpose, both of which are extraordinary and moving. I can’t recommend this book highly enough. It will be with you for life. Charlotte Jones – nutritionist, physiotherapist, author and lecturer

Raw honesty and rich storytelling

In what is the most unique book I’ve ever had the privilege of reading, George’s wisdom is both simple and powerful, making it truly effective. Amy has continued to use this wisdom to grow, evolve and develop a passionate curiosity, dedicating herself to creating a planned and meaningful life. Amy’s profound insights and actionable advice offer a refreshing perspective that purpose isn’t something we find externally but something we create and feel from within.

This book isn’t just about finding your why; it’s about crafting a life filled with meaning and intentionality, aligning actions with values for genuine fulfilment.

Focus on Why is a compelling and warm invitation to step out of the fog of mere existence and into a life of vibrant purpose. Amy’s own journey, shared with raw honesty and rich storytelling, creates a personal connection that resonates deeply, making this book not just a read, but an experience of transformation.

If you’re ready to stop searching and start living with intention, Focus on Why is the roadmap you’ve been waiting for. I feel beyond privileged to have had the opportunity to learn from these lessons and this intensely lived experience. 

It is a breathtakingly powerful read and I truly appreciate the gift Amy has given me. Kim-Adele Randall – CEO, Authentic Achievements

Sinek said start with it, Rowlinson says focus on it!

This great book helps you challenge the status quo, define your purpose and focus on your why – all three things that are currently lacking in society today. Told through the brilliant story of George F Kerr, rekindled from his scrapbook, Focus on Why is not only a befitting tribute but a brilliantly simple framework to map your own journey through life. Stop existing, start living, and ‘tap into the tingle’. Get Focus on Why! Wing Commander Marcus Dimbleby, RAF (retd) – MD and founder, Effective Direction™
