A Year of Loving Kindness to Myself by Brigid Lowry

*Thank you NetGalley and OrangeSky Audio for the audiobook to review*

3.5 stars rounded up.

To me, this book is broken up into two sections: One separated by month detailing ways Lowry chose kindness towards herself despite obstacles and two largely "kindness" tactics or topics that were further elaborated on. I found the first half to be much more enjoyable and would've enjoyed the book more as a whole had it continued with that formatting even if extended past one calendar year.

The audiobook itself didn't hold my attention consistently throughout and I found myself getting used, particularly during the second section of the book.

I greatly enjoyed the audiobook production, but as far as the book goes it felt very familiar. In generalities, the book discusses ways to be kind to yourself - be patient, treat others with kindness, eat well, move your body, and feed your soul. While some of the anecdotes were comical and lighthearted, most of it was repetitive to other material I have read.

Sincere thanks to NetGalley and OrangeSky Audio for an advanced listener copy in exchange for an honest review.

Thanks to #netgalley for the ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review. A lovely collection of essays that serve as a soft and kind reminder to us to be kind to yourself and to treat yourself with as much love and kindness as you would treat anyone else. A great reminder to be more mindful and take care of yourself before you can truly take care of others. ⭐⭐⭐#netgalley #brigidlowry #ayearoflovingkindness #tea_sipping_bookworm  #goodreads #litsy #amazonkindle #thestorygraph #bookqueen #bookstagram
