This Is Where You Belong: The Art and Science of Loving the Place You Live by Melody Warnick

4.0

This is one of those memoirs of a life experiment. I think other reads may have rated it lower because they expected something more factual. I found her advice incredibly useful as I just moved to a new place, after perpetually moving. Thinking, "What would people who love this town do?" led the author to do a variety of activities outside her newbie comfort zone, and I will likely follow suit. Yes, the concepts are all fairly common sense, except that in a very practical application, I wasn't thinking of many of the ideas presented in this book.

Listened to the audiobook version, but frequently wished I could reference the written lists and resources. Didn't realize the author was a BYU alum until after starting the book, which made me feel impressed that it was recommended through an unbiased source.
