Just Do It! (My Three Lives) is an inspiring true story about starting over when life falls apart. Mario Schwarzkopf shares his personal journey in one of the best divorce memoirs you’ll read…he lost everything after his divorce and had only 70 euros in his pocket. But he didn’t give up. This is one of those memoirs about divorce and healing that shows how strength and determination can lead to a new beginning. Mario also opens up about facing kidney cancer, making this a powerful memoir about surviving cancer too. “Not every choice we make will be the right one,” he writes, “but we must live with them.”

If you liked Educated by Tara Westover or The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, you’ll connect with this too. It’s one of those books that reminds you that even when life gets hard, you can still find a way forward.
