From journalist and author Georgie Abay, Best Laid Plans is an honest and frank look at how modern life never goes according to plan, and what you can do about it. It's a bout learning to accept what we have, finding the joy in Plan B and embracing all the magic in life's in-between moments. With chapters on love, grief, career, motherhood and more, it offers insights from well-known people such as Australian of the Year Grace Tame, writer Pandora Sykes, noted peace activist and human rights campaigner Supriya Vani, actress Ashley Graham, actress Priyanka Chopra, author Jodie Fox, refugee and author Aminata Conteh-Biger - and many more.
