I’m not big on the self help books, but this little quick read by Amy Williams was exactly what I needed right now.

My biggest problem with self help in the past is the condescending nature of the author, which is completely missing here. Instead, Williams recognizes and encourages us to recognize that we are not perfect and all that we can do is try to be better. Try to be happy. Try to live a life we are proud of. And then she provides us with methods and tools to reach those goals.

Further, the methods provided are not give all win all, we start small and build on psychology, human nature, and habit forming allowing us the largest chance of success.

This book was a nice, easy, and encouraging read. You can easily get through your first sweep in one sitting and then build with each revisit to the book.
