Overview
This two-book collection pairs Gabby Logan's candid memoir with her practical guide to thriving at midlife. The First Half traces her journey from childhood through a celebrated broadcasting career, exploring love, loss, and resilience with warmth and humor. The Midpoint Plan shifts focus to actionable wellbeing advice, drawing on experts and real stories to help readers navigate health, habits, and happiness in midlife and beyond. Together, the set offers an intimate personal story alongside a hands-on toolkit, making it a rewarding pairing for adult readers seeking inspiration and practical guidance.

About the Books
The First Half is Gabby Logan's frank memoir, charting the pivotal moments that shaped her life and career, from childhood as a competitive gymnast to becoming one of British television's most recognized sports presenters. She writes candidly about the early death of her brother, her father's struggles with alcoholism, and the sexism she encountered while building a career in a male-dominated industry, balancing heavier subjects with genuine humor and warmth. Readers describe the memoir as honest, funny, and deeply moving, offering an unguarded look at a public figure's private struggles and triumphs, told in her own distinctive, warm voice throughout, with moments that will make readers both laugh and well up in equal measure.

The Midpoint Plan takes a different approach, functioning as a structured midlife survival guide inspired by Gabby's popular podcast. Rather than simply recounting personal experience, it draws on interviews with doctors, scientists, and other experts to address the questions that dominate midlife: staying physically fit, sharpening cognitive function, improving sleep, managing anxiety, thriving at work, and navigating shifting family relationships. Each chapter closes with a practical Midpoint Action Plan, translating expert insight into achievable daily habits readers can start using immediately. Read together, the two books move naturally from reflection to action, pairing emotional context with a concrete, expert-informed framework for approaching midlife with confidence.
