Own your story

Anna Akerman

Softcover, 220 pages

Have you ever felt like life is slipping away from you? That your failures define you more than your successes? "Own Your Story" by Anna Åkerman is the book that turns these thoughts upside down and gives you the tools to regain control of your life.

Bad News is Good News

From the crackling flames of ancient campfires to today's flashing social media screens, the human desire to tell stories of adversity and triumph has always been central. Anna Åkerman takes you on a journey through her own life experiences - filled with sadness, joy, frustration and happiness. She shares openly and honestly about her deepest fears and most difficult moments, and how she transformed them into powerful lessons and tools for personal growth.

Embracing failure

"Own Your Story" is not just a book about overcoming obstacles, but a celebration of the art of failure. Anna shows us that true success is not about an unbroken chain of triumphs, but about how we handle our failures. She challenges us to see our setbacks as blessings, uncut diamonds that shape us into the people we are meant to be.

Let Anna Åkerman's words guide you through life's roller coaster. Once you've finished reading "Own Your Story", you'll never let anyone else write your story again.

Take control. Own your story.

Don't let someone else write your story – It's time to own your life!

"Wonderful, warm, revealing, inspiring and a book to take hold of my own life."

"Hi Anna!♥️ I've now read your book. So naked, honest and with a self-distance that very few people have, I read it in one go this weekend. And the secret that hides in the closet was a clear ingredient that makes it a real page-turner. Thank you very much for sharing yourself and your experiences. And what I'm taking with me is your vision board! The clarity of using visualization and the power of thought gave me a wow feeling! So thank you so much for writing this inspirational book! Warm hugs from me ♥️

"Hi Anna! It's been a while since I corresponded with you here! 2017, when you were kind enough to make sure I got a facial😊! I've just finished reading your book. Very interesting to read. The language flowed nicely, so it was quick to read. I've always liked reading, but in recent decades I've become more "periodical" when it comes to reading. Some books can be a bit slow at the beginning and don't immediately grab your attention, so it takes a while before you get into them, but then they can pick up speed. Some never get started and then they don't get finished. Your book caught my curiosity right away and then it was hard to put it down before it was finished. That's why I haven't really had time to do the cleaning that was supposed to be done today, but that can happen sometimes, we survive🙃. I would now like to order 3 more books to give away. Two books are for my so-called "fellow sisters", Irene and Carin. Two friends that I got to know when I was in Rehab at Lydiagården (after our respective breast cancer treatments). We still have contact via phone, Messenger/text message since 2011 and between rounds we meet and do something fun together. Most recently we were in Stockholm (a miscalculation when we booked the tickets though - managed to get the Taylor Swift weekend in🤣, which made the accommodation issue more difficult) and saw Mamma Mia the Party and hung out and talked a lot. I want to give them each their own book anyway, because they are also real warriors/survivors❤️, so you are welcome to sign it for them. Then I thought I would give a book to my group manager, Malin. She is also a fighter, who in some ways reminds me of you. She is a fighter who is good at lifting other people up and I think she would find it interesting to read your book too and especially since we work with many entrepreneurs, it can be extra interesting to read an entrepreneur's life story and what can drive you forward! I would be happy to sign it for her too! Thank you for a great book and be proud of what you have achieved! So impressed by your drive! To transform a "deserted house" into something so beautiful and create a lot of jobs and write a book. Truly something to be proud of💪! I understand your anxiety when the economy turned. It's one thing when it only concerns your own destiny, but another when it affects the destiny of a lot of other people. Easy to lead against the wind, the more difficult against the wind, but as you say, it is from the adversities that you become stronger. My life was mostly with the wind until my divorce. It was my first big adversity that was quite a tough case, then it was replaced by other things like illness etc. But it is absolutely true that if it doesn't "take the life out of you", you will be stronger on the other side❤️! Hope everything went well at the Book Fair! Place another order for this and swish you later today!" Hugs Mari 🥰

"I just put the book down! I've only had 2 chances to read it. The first time I read 50 pages. Today I read the rest! You're sooo cool! You're so fucking awesome💪🏻 What a captivating text, you just want to keep reading. So much is going on in your head. I recognize myself in sooo much of what you write."🥰

"I hope you reach out and realize HOW much you do for other people just by being in the same room! Today I realized that when I grow up I'm going to be an Anna! If you only knew the energy you give and even small words can make a person's day! Today for the first time in 1 month I had a good day at work and felt so ridiculously proud of myself! That I'm going to own myself! That they're all in or nothing!, then that I don't know what I'm going to do yet, the sea will tell tomorrow! YOU are amazing and believe me the book fair would have been nothing without YOU THERE! ❤️I'm proud to call you my friend! You are the most genuine person I've ever seen! The Anna fan club is here and I have the biggest poster."❤️
