Deep in the grips of drug addiction, Gabby Bernstein was sitting in her beaten-up white Toyota Corolla playing a cassette again and again and listening to a psychic saying to her, “You have two choices in this lifetime: You could stay addicted—and that’s not going to be good—or you can get clean and make a major impact on the world.” In that moment, she couldn’t contemplate what it would be like to get out of bed later that day, let alone make a major impact on the world. But she kept listening.

Fast forward almost two decades, Gabby has written her ninth book, Happy Days, in which she guides readers down a path where they can go from trauma to profound freedom and inner peace.

She’s living proof that it’s possible to overcome the challenges of addiction, trauma, and depression and find hope again.
