“I spent most of my early adult life caged in fear, engulfed in darkness. There was no light at the end of my proverbial tunnel – and if there had been, it would no doubt have come from a freight train heading straight towards me. Hopeless is the only word I can use to describe how I felt during those years.”

These are the words of Devon Brough, who knows what it’s like when you say you’ve hit rock bottom; when you can’t take it any more; when you’re so low you’re wondering whether it’s worth living any more. He’s been there, got the T-shirt.

Having suffered years of substance abuse, volatile relationships and self-destructive behaviour, Devon finally heeded the advice of R Narayan Murthy – that “Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck where you don’t belong.”

The process of change begins with one simple decision. It truly doesn’t matter what you’ve done or who you’ve been – there is tremendous power when you decide that you’ve had enough.

From this comes the realisation that, no matter the mistakes of your past, you deserve to be happy and successful.

In Get OVA It!, Devon presents his real-world method for those stuck in a life rut to break free from the pain and sadness holding them back. Ownership, Vision and Action form the three pillars of his programme – used in tandem they provide the opportunity for profound transformation, allowing you to:

• master your mindset
• rewrite your limiting thoughts and beliefs
• positively shape how you think and what you feel
• empower yourself to make healthy choices
• and, crucially, take action towards achieving your life goals.
