emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective relaxing medium-paced

I requested this ALC from Libro FM because while I have read quite a few self-help books, this one seemed different. I liked the idea of splitting advice into daily segments, and though this isn't a revelation, it works well in audio format. Liz Cole narrates beautifully, and I will continue to read it daily.

My only gripes would be that this would've been better coming out in Dec/Jan due to its layout and that there isn't anything new or groundbreaking about it.

Overall, I'd rate it 4 stars because it has some good advice and excellent narration.

Thank you to Libro FM for the ALC.

dnf - i may have thought that i was too problematic

too religious

Some good daily reminders if you can get past all the god talk and 12 step-ness.

I enjoyed this book, there were some incredibly powerful and helpful sections, passages, examples, and stories, and throughout the reading it did help me feel better.

However, the author spends a lot of time talking about god, which does not appeal to me, and so I skipped over many of these sections.

There are also many dated references and examples, which cannot be helped, but I would be very interested in an updated, non-religious version.

Overall I found this book very helpful for a peaceful mind, albeit with some flaws.

I am currently going through this book daily, based on my counselor’s recommendation. I absolutely love it. It is filled with wisdom.

While I will never be "done" reading this book, I know that it is part of my daily spiritual practice to read. The book focuses on recovery and that can be so broad or specific depending on your individual needs. I really appreciate the mediations and find they go straight to me. Definitely a great book if you need to have some grounding. Self help on steroids!
