William Roache is known worldwide for his portrayal of Ken Barlow in Coronation Street. Now aged 86, he still appears regularly in the show and rebuffs any notion that age brings decline. In Life and Soul, Bill speaks openly and honestly about how his lifestyle choices gave him the strength to live through his most challenging times - the deaths of his wife Sara and close friend Anne Kirkbride, as well as a harrowing court case.

He now shares his personal philosophy for living a rich and rewarding life, as well as an exclusive recording of his personal meditation practice. These are the tools which Bill hopes will help others achieve a long, happy and healthy life, too.

This audiobook is read by Bill himself, with his children Will and Verity reading the preface.

'William Roache has always had my admiration for his deep beliefs in his faith, and his own strength in facing with tenacity his life challenges. A thoroughly good soul.' - Gloria Hunniford OBE, TV and radio presenter, singer
