But if he can do it, so can you, and he’s going to help you with nuts-and bolts suggestions for finding financial, personal, and emotional well-being to live your own version of a kickass life. Billy’s techniques for getting there are simple yet profound — tackling manageable goals, finding inspiration (in whatever way works for you), asking for help (even when you don’t want to), practicing gratitude and meditation (even if you think they’re silly), and steering clear of people who rain on your parade. Straightforward and doable, these strategies build confidence and build on each other until recovery means not just living but living better than ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"clear\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DnnModule DnnModule-YouTube DnnModule-7714\"\u003e\n\u003ca name=\"7714\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"dnn_ctr7714_ContentPane\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DNNModuleContent ModYouTubeC\" id=\"dnn_ctr7714_ModuleContent\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"clear\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DnnModule DnnModule-Endorsements DnnModule-689\"\u003e\n\u003ca name=\"689\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan class=\"title\" id=\"dnn_ctr689_dnnTITLE_titleLabel\"\u003eEndorsements\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DNNModuleContent ModEndorsementsC\" id=\"dnn_ctr689_ModuleContent\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"endorsements\" id=\"dnn_ctr689_ViewEndorsements_EndorsementsMain\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e “Billy Manas’s debut book, \u003cem\u003eKickass Recovery\u003c\/em\u003e, is an authentic and needed testament to the power of recovering out loud.
