This book reads like a comforting friend talking to you and in a way, Marlee is a friend to us all. She doesn’t claim this book will “fix you” but rather help you find ways of being that align you with your center. She provides examples from her own life and many different tools to find your way back to center, all with the understanding that sometimes we will stray because we are messy humans! I took her online class “Everything is a Sunset” earlier this year and this was a great follow up to that. It helpfully reminded me of the ideas and concepts we worked with while introducing new ones. This is a book I will keep close and return to often.
I received and early proof of this book via a goodreads giveaway but would have purchased anyways!

Putting a number rating on this book feels even more difficult than usual. On one hand, there were a lot of great little snippets, things that caused me to pause and reflect or break out my journal to process. I especially appreciated the chapter on commitments. However, at some point the book did start to feel a little chaotic and a little random. It was like the beginning had been planned out but the later chapters were written to meet a deadline perhaps. Not to say I didn't enjoy it! I mean, I still read the whole thing and took looks of notes!

Marlee's voice is very authentic and so relatable you can't help but smile, laugh, and feel seen. The organization of the chapters felt non-intuitive to me and much of what I read I knew to be true already but to hear it from another person feels validating and serves as a great reminder. I wanted this book to help fix me and Marlee said from the beginning it wouldn't do that (mainly because we're not to be fixed) but I still feel like I need more practical steps.

I love Marlee! I want to say that first and foremost! I took away some really important reminders from this book, but not necessarily lessons. I hoped for something that went a little deeper, but it's OKAY that this didn't! I think the lightheartedness of it can resonate in really important ways, but personally I wanted more. Still worth the read, and will pick it up again for those sweet little reminders when I need them.
