Many people carry a quiet sentence inside them: It is too late now. They believe they missed the moment, wasted too much time, failed too many times, stayed too long, quit too soon, or became someone they no longer recognize. They may keep functioning on the outside while privately living under the weight of regret, shame, and the belief that the best part of life has already passed them by.
Give Yourself a Second Chance is a compassionate, reflective book for anyone who is tired of using the past as evidence against themselves.
With warmth, honesty, and quiet strength, Gregg Patten explores what it means to begin again without shame. This is not a book about pretending the past does not matter. It does not offer empty slogans, forced positivity, or dramatic reinvention. Instead, it invites readers to tell the truth about regret, failure, delay, and disappointment without turning those truths into a life sentence.
Through thoughtful chapters on shame, failure, staying too long, returning to yourself, becoming visible again, starting small, and trying again with grace, this book offers a grounded path toward self-mercy and renewed courage. Each chapter includes a gentle reflection practice built around the sentence: I am allowed to begin again even though…
This book is for the person who needs to hear that a second chance is not always something life hands you. Sometimes it is something you finally stop withholding from yourself.
You do not have to become someone else before you are allowed to begin again.
You do not have to erase the past.
You do not have to feel ready.
You are allowed to begin here.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
