In a year when many have slowed down, Turia Pitt has sped up – here she shares the things she’s turned to that keep her going
Turia Pitt has spent most of this year figuring out what makes people happy. The writer and life coach has spoken with everyone from athletes like Mick Fanning to the Auschwitz survivor Eddie Jaku for her new book Happy and Other Ridiculous Aspirations (out now through Penguin). Along the way, she discovered “that part of happiness is accepting that we’re not going to be happy all the time. There’s a real power in accepting and acknowledging all of our emotions – even the ones that might not be as comfortable.”
In her spare time, she’s been picking out interesting products from communities that have been impacted by fire and Covid-19 for her Instagram account @SpendWithThem. Here, she shares the three things that have been most useful in getting her through a busy year.
