--Sue Patton Thoele, author of The Courage to Be Yourself, How to Stay Upbeat in a Beat Down World, and others

"Reasons to Live is an important book on an essential topic, much needed at this time in the world. Juliana weaves traditional and alternative concepts together to create a deeply thoughtful pathway toward healing through difficult times. Throughout the book are tools and exercises to help guide you to a deeper understanding of yourself and those you are trying to help."

--Nita Sweeney, bestselling author of Depression Hates a Moving Target

"What a powerful book, and the help it offers to the reader is nearly immeasurable. Suicide is bordering on being an epidemic in these times, and the help Bruno offers is nonstop, page after page. The dark thoughts that plague the many among us, me included, are so deserving of attention and guidance to a better vision. This book offers a way to find it. Bravo, Juliana."

--Karen Casey, author of Each Day a New Beginning

"Having lost both my husband and my nephew to suicide, I view Juliana Bruno's book, Reasons to Live, as a lighthouse for people lost in the vast darkness of suicidal ideation and an essential guide for anyone trying to support them."

--Kim Colegrove, author of Mindfulness for Warriors and Wellness Warrior Style

"Juliana Bruno's book, Reasons to Live, is a little gem of raw wisdom and big love. A direct and heartwarming sharing of experience, tools, and gathered knowledge on a hard yet more than ever relevant subject. This book reminds us that we are all human beings in need to learn to become who we are, alone and with others, and to love and be loved. A must-read, not just for anyone in need of a supportive and experienced hand, but a must read for everybody."

--Claude Convers, psychosynthesis life coach and teacher, claudeconvers.com

"Juliana Bruno's Reasons to Live is a seed. Once planted in the palms of your hands, it becomes a resource that blooms in your presence and that you get to return to. To savor. To open your heart toward, and grow with. Again, and again. The love, care, and collaboration that went into this writing is palpable from the beginning. May Juliana's words support you, dear reader, to turn toward your own suffering with a little more tenderness, compassion, and courage. May this text support you in staying present to the suffering of others' and embolden you to support from more rootedness and skill, more trust in our mutual responsibility to our collective well-being."

--Jennie Knott, LICSW

"Juliana Bruno's Reasons to Live is exactly the book I wish I could've given my younger brother. It is a book I will keep readily available in my office for anyone who finds themselves in that dark place. I am pleased and proud to contribute to Mango Publishing's 'Books That Save Lives' imprint. There is no more important work than saving lives and supporting our loved ones and our community."
