A profound, important work; simultaneously wise, instructive and a
love letter to humanity . . . I recognised entire sections that

ever taken so many notes

hurdle-strewn years that lie between finishing the child-rearing

*Sunday Independent*

Fascinating and engaging
*Sunday Times*
Your One Wild and Precious Life . . . will transform your
thinking
*Irish Farmers Journal*
It reframed so much for me
*Aoibhín Garrihy*
The rotund nature of the work makes it feel like a foundational
text, accessible to anyone who seeks to know more about themselves
and something any trainee psychologist would enjoy. It astutely
examines how attachments to people or patterns can speed up, stunt
or spark our growth, and, most importantly, what we can do about
it.
No matter where you locate yourself in this book there's an energy
to the prose that makes it a fascinating read.
But if every love story is a ghost story, as David Foster Wallace
says, then Gaffney's new book resurrects your original love story
and the ghost that it conjures. She provides instructions on how to
vanquish the past and understand connection, so a new cycle of
living is possible.
This book is a powerful reminder that history does not have to
dictate our future if we can, somehow, amid the chaos of life,
listen now and again.
*Irish Times*
This book is a practical guide to making the most of our lives,
within a revised framework, at every stage.
*The Anglo-Celt*
Gaffney invariably gets to the core of things and always seems to
talk to one directly. If she has a recipe for facing the next stage
in life, it's going to be one worth trying
*The Gloss*
An expertly organised tour through life
*Irish Times*
