this was my first self-help book EVER. let me tell you guys. i got this book for $0.25 at goodwill. i literally picked it up bc of the cute cover…never did i think it would have THIS much of an impact on me.

this book was SO incredibly eye opening and thought provoking. this book genuinely moved me. it was such an incredible moment of reflection and honestly, this book had me releasing a breath i didn’t know i was holding.

just a little heads up, the author is a christian man who does share his religious beliefs here and there. i am NOT a christian, but still thoroughly enjoyed this. it wasn’t often that he inserted biblical references or things of that sort, but i was still able to use his beliefs that he shared and pick and choose what applied to me and my life.

i highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone!

very christian book, sends a decent message through faith but it simply is not my cup of tea.

A book that is while seeming repetitive, is good for mindfulness. I think you will get out of this book what you put in. I liked the last section for the ending. "The secret to the good life is goodness"

When I start books of this type, I always plan on underlining key passages. I quickly realized that with this book, I'd be underlining almost everything. There are some parts that are unnecessary or repetitive hence the 4 stars, but overall this book had a lot of good in it. I have already recommended it to my mom and will probably also reread periodically. I think everyone should read it at some point. It helps you realize that it's ok to be broken and that it makes you beautiful. Life is messy, and as soon as you stop fighting the mess, you can truly live.

It’s was good, just a bit disconnected. Started out as one story, then kinda dissolved into bits of many.
