"I'm sharing a lot of myself in this book."

Pippa O'Connor has revealed that she has written another book. The influencer and entrepreneur is following up her bestselling lifestyle book Pippa: Simple Tips To Live Beautifully with a second, more personal release; The Pippa Guide: Live Your Best Life. "My first book was published in October 2016 and so much has happened since then," she said on her Instagram stories today. "I've had another baby since then, I'v started two businesses since then so I really felt like I was ready to do something else." Admitting that she was nervous, Pippa said this book would be a lot more personal. "It's quite different to my first in that I am very open and honest in this. "I talk a lot about my personal life, I talk a lot about business which I didn't in my first book... I talk about exactly how I started my businesses, I talk about the highs, the lows, the actual realities of it all. "It's definitely very personal for me. I'm sharing a lot of myself in this book, I have really been as honest as possible." This book will share an honest glimpse of what it's like to start your own business, she added. "From the outside looking in (at my life) it probably looks like a bit of craic and you don't always get to see the reality of it all and how stressful it can be. "I talk about building a business from scratch, leading a team, building a team, my family, my husband, how I manage all of that, home life, my kids." There'll also be a focus on positivity and wellbeing as well as social media, interiors, beauty and travel, she said. "There are a few little surprises there, I really have put my heart and soul into it. "I feel very emotional, I'm just proud I think." The book is available for pre-order now for €20 and will be released on 3 October.
