TV star Angela Scanlon has announced she is releasing her first book, called Joyrider – admitting it’s the most open she has ever been.
The 37-year-old, who is expecting her second child with hubby Roy Horgan, 37, shared the news via a newsletter to fans writing that she was "equal parts excited and terrified".
She admitted her book, Joyrider, the most open she has ever been as the flame haired chat show host calls it “mindfulness for cynics”.
The Thanks A Million host said the book is a "bumpy read" and "the most open I've ever been about a lot of stuff I've never really talked about.
"It has felt equal parts exciting and terrifying (again) but... it's also felt liberating to share parts of myself that I have hidden for a long time."
The Co Meath native said she hopes the book might help readers "feel less alone or maybe just less weird".
“I hope that in doing so it might allow you might feel a bit less alone or maybe just less weird! I hope if you’re not where you want to be right now that you’ll feel hopeful and empowered and armed with some tools that will help you live a life that feels FULL.”
“I hope after reading it you’ll feel stronger, more hopeful, defiant, more connected and compassionate, MORE YOU. At the very least I hope you don’t hate it.”
The book's blurb states that gratitude is "a very tangible thing you can do every day that will shift your focus to what you have rather than pining and obsessing over what you don't have.
"This book is an invitation to embrace the kind of gratitude that cuts through the bulls**t of life to its truth, connecting us with the present and grounding us in self. When there is so much to feel anxious about, Angela shares with readers how focusing our attention on the small, incremental positives in life can completely change it for the better."
Joyrider is set for release in May.
