This is excellent. If you have a passing interest in self improvement/self help I really recommend it. Written in a really friendly, chatty way, it's filled full of little gems of knowledge.

I absolutely loved this. read it in two sitting and gave it straight to a real close friend that I know will also love it. I'll have to read it again, whilst at home, and fill in all the writing exercises.

This is a book that I know that I’ll come back to when I’m feeling down or in need of a boost in life.
Laura is so honest and presents a refreshing look on what adults could learn from kids.
Also makes the idea of a break from my career to work as a nanny even more enticing.

Very sweet and a welcome pick me up. The insights are not ground-breaking but could be for a tween! Would recommend if you need to be reminded of how worthy you are. Apart from that, I love and adore Laura Jane Williams as a person and on her Instagram. If you do so, too, please pick this book up. It won't take long to get trough it :)

Not as insightful as I'd hoped. I found it more reassuring that it's okay that I'm a big child at heart. A book I could gave done with in my early twenties I feel, but thankfully life has taught me to not give a shit what people think and that doing what makes you happy is a life motto we all should adopt.

Funny, relatable and insightful. I got this on audio book and listened to it over the course of a day. I will be listening to it again as and when I feel the need. A lovely read :)

When I picked this book up, the thing that made me want to keep reading was Williams' honest writing and sense of humour throughout.
I did not agree with some of the advice itself, but in general found most of it incredibly helpful.
The main chapter that helped me was the chapter on sleep.
I was worrying a lot about sleep at the time of reading this book. I still do to some extent.
Anyway, I was very apprehensive about reading the chapter on it, expecting the same advice about getting eight hours of sleep, at the time, I was lucky to get five or six.
Although the author did talk about how she needs eight hours, she did mention that it is different for everyone.
I did not feel like a failure or condemned. I actually read this chapter before bed and it left me with a feeling of calm and I slept very well that night.
It was my favourite chapter in the book.
I loved the conclusion to the book.
Maybe it's because my conclusions to essays are really bad and I just sum up what I've said, but the author managed to sum up what she said in a way that connected with the rest of what she was saying about how she never expected to write this book.
I probably explained that in the worst way, but I really adored the conclusion.
Overall, I really liked this book. I agreed with the author's points and I am really hoping to put being more childlike into practice.
