This is a grab of under five minutes taken from a recorded conversation of some 40 minutes. I spoke with author, Stuart O'Neill about suicide prevention... and about his book, Just One Reason. Raised in Melbourne Australia, Stuart’s mostly self-employed life has provided its fair share of highs and lows. His life story in the book easily resonates. Stuart first became an Australian Surf Lifesaver in the 1980’s. It is a passion that he still fulfills to this day. His desire to help save lives is being fulfilled via his own book, Just One Reason. Just One Reason is a 'suicide prevention toolkit' wrapped up in a book small enough to fit in your hand or pocket. It is the product of his out of the box thinking and willingness to help others. Stuart takes pride in putting others first and bares his soul publicly about his personal battle with suicidal thoughts and depression. The book reveals Stuart’s own strategy for beating your inner demons and offers a powerful and very easy solution to a world problem that is getting worse, not better. This short podcast episode is a take from a conversation I recently recorded with Stuart.
