Description
Fed up with pain and illness dictating your life?
Choose to rise up.
Living with chronic pain is far from easy. Left unchecked, it erodes your spirit and keeps you living in the dark. It can influence what you believe about yourself and even hack your soul – if you let it. Author Maureen Sharphouse knows the challenges of living with pain first-hand. She has endured more than three decades of debilitating physical health challenges, including the incurable neurological illness known as "the suicide disease". Yet, in the midst of her daily pain, she lives with passion, joy, and enthusiasm for life.
In thirty daily missions, Unhackable Soul reveals how you can feel vibrantly alive despite chronic pain. Discover how to:
- Rise up from a life dictated by pain and illness to one fuelled by enthusiasm and purpose.
- Feel alive and experience greater joy, peace, and comfort.
- Wake up every day eager to embrace life despite your challenges.
Live well. Reignite your light. It's time to become Unhackable.
Advance Praise
"I LOVE this radically transformative book. As someone who lives with daily chronic pain from CRPS, I can say Unhackable Soul is a roadmap to reclaim your joy and reignite the light within you despite pain. Maureen's authentic storytelling illustrates how difficult experiences and deep wounds, both mental and physical, are the very things that can gift us a deeper power and resilience if we allow them. Maureen generously brings us her personal journey and shares her formula for moving through tremendous pain with grit and grace. Run, don't walk, and grab this book if you live with any kind of pain."
- Amberly Lago, podcast host and best-selling author of True Grit and Grace, TEDx speaker, and peak performance coach
"Fantastically uplifting and encouraging from someone who knows what it feels like to experience challenges and still live life fully. Maureen's spirit shines through every page to speak to you and pull you forward. Wonderful!"
- Fiona Harrold, best-selling author of Be Your Own Life Coach
"Unhackable Soul is a resource and guide to achieving a fulfilling life despite chronic pain. It offers a durable, livable alternative to pharmacology and interventions. As a physician and surgeon who has worked with chronic pain patients, I whole-heartedly recommend this book for all who may live with chronic pain or disability. It offers a sustainable path to healthy, balanced well-being instead of a life of drugs, depression, and misery. In an era of endemic opioids and dependency, it cracks in the light for the pain sufferer on what can be for them an ever-darkening world."
- Dr Hugh A. Gelabert, physician and surgeon, UCLA School of Medicine
"Maureen offers so many voices of comfort for the reader throughout Unhackable Soul. From comfort to knowing, practical advice and strategies, this book offers deep connection for many who may in some ways feel often isolated. Heartfelt and honest, this book will leave you hopeful. Be inspired by the thirty-year journey Maureen has been on, from which she shares an abundance of knowledge and practical advice to offer anyone feeling confused, depleted, or lost in the reality of chronic pain. Allow Maureen to hold your hand and be a comfort, and even a friend, through the deep work she offers in this book."

"As founder and CEO of the Burning Limb Foundation and one who is aware of the crucial role that mind and spirit play in individuals living with chronic pain disease, I highly recommend this book. Maureen's personal inspirational story and her step-by-step revitalizing daily elixir make this book a valuable go-to companion and guide for living well with pain and illness. Maureen's words incorporate ideas that are not just firmly rooted in truth but also come from a loving perspective that only one who has experienced debilitating illness intimately can bring. Unhackable Soul provides me with yet another tool when working with those who live with chronic illness and is a true blueprint for how not to just live but to thrive."
-Philip Robert, Founder/CEO of The Burning Limb Foundation

Great book by Maureen. I don’t like with a chronic illness but it was eye opening to learn about what someone with a chronic illness goes through. I really enjoyed learning about the spiritual strategies. I’ve learned something’s that can help me with the anxiety I struggle with.
One of my favorite quote from the book was “keep things simple: Do nothing now, nothing much changes. Crafting a brighter future comes down to you”.
10/10 would recommend this book!
Thank you Maureen, Unhackable press and NetGalley for the ARC!

The pen is mightier than the sword, so it’s said. In Unhackable Soul, Maureen Sharphouse attempts to help those who suffer from chronic pain, mainly with words and thoughts, inviting the reader to change their thoughts to change their feelings, some would call it positive thinking or visualisation or indeed the Universal law of attraction.
Maureen herself suffers from an incurable progressive neurological illness and knows only too well the true meaning of pain, but still she manages to look at the brighter side of life using her own methods, which include all of the above, and she is keen to share them with the reader to enable them to also live a good and happy life regardless of their chronic pain.
Personally I am not good with visualisation, but I can imagine that it really helps those who can manage it. There are a lot of inspirational quotes within the book, that are very helpful , and as it is Maureen’s wish to inspire others it’s a case of job done!
