‘John, I’m exhausted. I barely have energy to change my socks, never mind reimagine a new life for me or my family. I’ve been working around the clock – for less money – to keep my job . . . Everyone wants something from me, and you know what, pal, I’m depleted. I have nothing left to give.’

This is what John Sanei has been hearing over the past year as we come to terms with our bewildering, ever-shifting post-Covid world.

In Who Do We Become?, John maps out our strange, new world and lays down a path to reframe our thinking, to recognise our discomfort, to survive AND THRIVE. Infused with empathy and personal anecdote, the book is divided into three sections.

In Part 1: ANGUISH, John explores how to courageously mourn the loss of our ‘normal’ pre-Covid world.

Part 2: ABNORMAL, shows us how to understand this new environment and recognise that uncertainty is the new normal.

And in Part 3: ADVENTURE, John provides a toolkit for us to forge out into the new world, to succeed and recognise the signs of rebirth and renewal.
