A real-life solution to get unstuck and break free

Written by Devon Brough
Narrated by the Author

Devon Brough knows what it’s like when you say you’ve hit rock bottom; when you can’t take it any more; when you’re so low you’re wondering whether it’s worth living any more. He’s been there, got the T-shirt.

Having suffered years of substance abuse, volatile relationships and self-destructive behaviour, Devon finally heeded the advice of R Narayan Murthy – that “Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck where you don’t belong.”

The process of change begins with one simple decision. It truly doesn’t matter what you’ve done or who you’ve been – there is tremendous power when you decide that you’ve had enough. From this comes the realisation that, no matter the mistakes of your past, you deserve to be happy and successful.

In Get OVA It!, Devon presents his real-world method for anyone stuck in a life rut to break free from the pain and sadness holding them back. Ownership, Vision and Action stack together to form the structure of his programme – used in tandem, they provide an opportunity for profound transformation.
