Lacks examples, substance, research. Could suit the 18- to 24-year-old crowd.

Reviewed in the United States on 9 November 2020

I read this in a book club of 40-some year olds who are well on the path of seeking wellness, self-education, and self-improvement. (We had just finished The Book of Joy by The Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.) The first four chapters found us wanting to quit the book due to lack of substance. We stuck it through to the end, though, because we know that every endeavor can teach us something, and we wanted to give this young writer a chance. Chapter 5, 6, and 7 felt like a different writer, bringing much more "meat." However, the author's approach is reckless in that she asks the reader to review the deepest hurts of their lives in order to contrast how many successes they can also count, YET she does not give them TOOLS to deal with the dangers of this instruction. With so many comments focusing on love relationships, it seems the financially stable-ish 18- to 24-year-old person is the target audience. HOWEVER, I would recommend a person who is young to read a book by an older writer who is *professionally trained in the field* in order to get more out of the experience. The author's effort and love to help others is nice, but her skill and wisdom is lacking, making this an overall unfruitful read. (Our next book is Braving the Wilderness by Brene Brown.)

Not entirely sure

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 May 2021

There were some messages in this book that chimed with me and I agree that by having a better awareness of ourselves, better appreciation of our worth and living in thr moment etc. can lead to a happier, healthier life. However, I found some parts of the book to be over-simplifed - the little things, like- just learn to let things go; just move on; do your washing on a set day to get your environment right. I'm not sure that it always takes it the complexities of different peoples contexts at all times and also it does always offer the practical steps to help us do that. It does however pose some big questions that are worth thinking about.

i didn’t like it

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 August 2021

some of the concepts were okay but the writing is difficult to grasp, it kind of just lets you figure out the deeper parts of what’s being said and leaves things hanging. i just found it disorienting and what the author said didn’t stick with me or have any kind of effect

FAKE. This is a PHOTOCOPIED and printed out version of the book. The book was creased as well.

The media could not be loaded.

If you’re buying this book, just know it’s not the original and it will arrive damaged. I received the book with that cover all creased and folded. And then I opened it and the texts are not aligned properly. It looks like somebody xeroxed all the pages of the original book and put them together. The words are light on some pages and dark on some pages and the font is larger on some pages and smaller on others. Then I read all the 1 star reviews and realized everyone was saying the same thing. SCAM

Couldn’t even finish it

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 April 2022

I’ll start by saying that different things work for different people and maybe I wasn’t the target audience for this book. It read, to me at least, like a lot of inspirational/deep Instagram captions or something. I kept skipping forward to try to find something a bit deeper or for some of the research/brainy bits but couldn’t find any so gave up. This book means well but if you’re someone who likes to figure out the why/how I doubt this book would be for you.

Complex Subject

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 January 2022

Verified Purchase

The subject of self-sabotage is very complex and therefore I don't think this book was able to address it fully in a helpful way. Seeking help from a trained therapist or psychologist would be more advisable.

I GOT A FAKE VERSION

Reviewed in India on 4 December 2021

The media could not be loaded.

I got a fake photocopied/ printed manually from somewhere version of the book. Some page numbers are missing and in some pages the printing/photocopy is misaligned. I was charged quite a lot for the photocopy version.

Even by looking at the author's name on the cover of the book you can say its fake.

Pages falling out

The book feels low quality. The pages have started falling out before I’ve even gotten to the first chapter.
