How To Love The Sh*t Out Of Life is a self-help guide to enjoying life and being positive. Author Sally-Anne Hurley has written her first book with the objective to share her stories on how she has attempted to sustain a positive outlook on life with others. Hurley has taken anecdotes and tales from her life to provide examples of how she has practised the strategies she preaches in the book. Hurley also takes experiences from the people in her life to also showcase these positive strategies. She is not a professional life-coach or in that field of work, but her experiences and observations of those around her, is what has inspired her need to share her positivity strategies and tips with others. Humour is another major aspect of the book, in particular, a self-deprecating and often sarcastic view of Hurley's life and experiences are given to the reader to provide a sense of relatability.
