Susan Hall's Real-Life Extraordinary Offers Practical Tools to Help Real People Step Into Their Own Extraordinary Life
BALTIMORE, MD, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 6, 2025 / You won't find Susan Hall's name in the Guinness Book of World Records. She's never sold out a stadium for a rock concert. Or stood on an Olympic podium.

But what she has done is create a deeply fulfilling, meaningful, and joy-filled life-and helped thousands of others do the same.
Now, the bestselling author and founder of Decide Happy: Less Stress. More Joy is launching her second book, Real-Life Extraordinary: A Practical Guide for Creating a Life That Lights You Up. Warm, relatable, and filled with practical tools, the book is designed to help busy people stop waiting and start living with more purpose, courage, and joy.
"Most people think you need to be a celebrity or a superhuman to lead an extraordinary life," says Hall. "But you're already extraordinary -you just need to tap into your own one-of-a-kind magic and magnify it."
That message hit home for Hall during what she calls The Year That Shall Not Be Named-a year that brought a diagnosis of an ultra-rare cancer, a shattered shoulder, her husband's unforeseen heart procedure, and the tragic loss of a loved one.
"I came out the other side with this deep, unshakable sense of, What am I waiting for?" Hall says. "Life is short and wildly unpredictable. It's what we do with it that counts." If you're tired of settling, navigating a life transition, or want more in life, Real-Life Extraordinary invites you to take Fast Action and step up into the next evolution of extraordinary you.
Drawing on her 30-year career in adult learning and talent development, Hall has worked with thousands of people across five continents, helping them grow and thrive-at work and in life. Her practical approach focuses on building real skills and making small shifts that lead to big changes over time.
What makes someone Real-Life Extraordinary?
According to Hall, it's not about fame, titles, or trophies. It's about being GRACED:
Growth-Oriented - Constantly learning and becoming a better version of yourself
Resilient - Bouncing back from setbacks with wisdom and strength
Action-Taker - Moving forward, even when it's uncomfortable
Choice-Driven - Taking ownership of your actions and attitude
Expansive Thinker - Asking "How good can this get?"
Dedicated to Making a Difference - Contributing to a meaningful cause or helping a single soul in need in the moment
Through relatable stories, real-world examples, and bite-sized tools you can use immediately, Real-Life Extraordinary shows readers how to stop settling and second-guessing themselves - by letting go of self-doubt, overwhelm, fear and regret - and step up into the next version of their extraordinary self.
"Throughout my career, I've had a front-row seat to observe what people do-and don't do-to shine their brightest or to play life small," says Hall. "And what I've learned is this: you don't need to be fearless or have it all figured out to create an amazing life. You just need to decide and make a few small shifts a little more consistently. Extraordinary lives don't happen by accident. They're built by all the small steps and courageous leaps we choose to take along the way."
With her signature warmth, humor, and real-world wisdom, Hall invites readers to stop waiting for life to change-and start creating a life that truly lights them up.
Real-Life Extraordinary will be available on Amazon and wherever books are sold beginning October 8, 2025. For media inquiries, speaking requests, or to subscribe to her monthly "Little Bit of Happy" newsletter, visit www.DecideHappy.com
