About the Author
Hugh van Cuylenburg has been working in education for more than 17 years, teaching both primary and secondary in a range of educational settings. He has completed postgraduate studies looking at resilience and wellbeing, and has developed and facilitated programs for more than a thousand schools Australia-wide.
In 2015, the National Rugby League asked Hugh to design and implement a series of comprehensive workshops at every single club in the competition. Since then, he has worked with the Australian cricket team, the Australian netball team, the Australian women's soccer team, the Australian women's rugby league team, ten AFL teams, the Australian Olympic Committee and every soccer team in the A-League. Beyond the team environment, Hugh has worked one-on-one with individuals such as Steve Smith, Billy Slater and Dustin Martin.
Outside of schools and elite sport, Hugh has presented to hundreds of corporate organisations as a keynote speaker, and for three years running his national speaking tour has sold out. He is also co-host of the popular podcast The Imperfects.

I enjoyed the first third or half of the book with the stories about his sister and time in India, as well as his early teaching & cricketing days but, the rest was largely focused on his own success in getting the project out there. A lot of “name dropping“ and referencing the NRL, AFL etc and how much they all loved the presentations. I feel as though he takes a tad too much credit for teams who went on to win big games after his talks (no mention of teams who lost their next game lol). As my title says, overall, I found the stories fairly interesting for the most part, but not inspiring - maybe that wasn’t the intention. I may feel differently attending a presentation.

Every single person should read this book. Hugh takes us on the GEM journey with one purpose and that is to find happiness through gratitude empathy and mindfulness. I would love to hear one of his presentations. Every school should engage him to present to their students. I feel so good after reading this book. Even though I have a husband with dementia, I still feel grateful for what I have, not what I haven’t. Hugh’s book makes perfect sense and has highlighted all the positives in my life and not the negatives.

In today’s world, living through a pandemic and lockdowns, its never been more important to look after our own mental wellness. This book, through the power of storytelling talks about Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness and how practicing this methods everyday can assist you in gaining a more positive mindset and greater resilience to deal with the day to day living. Find and embrace your ‘dis’ moment every day, be vulnerable and take the time to be in the moment always when you’re with others.

This would have to be the book that has had a profound effect on my life. I have shared this book with multiple people and all some comments have come back.
This should be a subject in schools if not for all teachers and mentors, coaches etc.
Loved it and could not put it down.
Important topic Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness and brilliantly explained by us of examples.

I love this book and your podcast with Ryan! We all need tools that helps us unlock the hard things we accidentally nail down or hide away because they are too painful. No matter how much therapy, reading or sharing with friends we do it always helpful to have new ways to look at or think about life. I love the stories, the humour and the practical advice. Thank you!

I found this book to be very readable, amusing and touching as well. I could relate to much of the content and appreciate the three GEM principles as I had discovered Mindfulness has helped me over the past few years. I will try harder to practice Gratitude & Empathy & I know reading this book has helped me realise how important these things are in life.
