I have always wanted to learn to meditate. I want to relax and not be so uptight or stressed out. This book shows me there are so many ways to easily eliminate stress. I need realistic goals to be able to be myself only calmer. While reading this book I realized through some minor changes I could make a real difference in my own stress level.
One quote that really stuck with me and is something I need to read over and over again is when you defend a position it is because you want the other person to think you are right. Most of the time like Ali I don't care to be right but I argue my point and I am uncertain why. I need to let it go and just not say anything. Silence can be easier and I need to choose easier. Why do I have to defend myself? I dont. After reading this book it reinforces that as long as I am ok it does not really matter what others are thinking because likely they are not really giving it much thought.
Thank you Ali for being so honest and open with your readers.

This is a wonderful little book that very gently talks about kindness and its ability to make our life and those around us happier. Mr. Ferrucci discusses many different aspects of kindness, some of these being honesty, warmth, forgiveness and trust. Each subject was discussed and a story was given to clarify its importance. I enjoyed all of the different stories and Mr Ferrucci did a good job of talking about the importance of kindness without preaching about it. He also included some interesting studies  that have been done.

A lot of time was spent on talking about how being kind to others makes not only that person happier, but also the one that is being kind. Mr. Ferrucci shows us in this book in an easy and straightforward way how to have a happier more fulfilling life. I am very glad I took the time to read it.

Many woman do not feel validated to express what they need in life and tend to be unhappy.  This is a great, easy read, to learn why you may have developed the view that their need do not matter and have a lot of negative thoughts about themselves.  This gives easy tools to become more loving to yourself and help you speak up in life.

This is an easy read in a good conversational tone. The author uses an honest and often witty approach to address the issues around changes in our work and personal lives. My favourite quote from the book,,",,a journey to independence and fulfilment sounds wonderful but is bloody hard."

I've had the honor of interviewing Stacy for my podcast and am excited to have an opportunity to ready her book. As entrepreneurs it is easy to isolate ourselves from other people...and the facts. Stacy helps you take a compassionate and honest approach to your business so you know if it's time to make some changes, or move on to a new initiative.

Ken Idleman has a way of telling truths in a motivational way instead of guilt-producing manner. He also has a sense of humor that is appropriate in examples that we can all relate to. In a society that is "All About Me" it is refreshing to hear a voice telling us that Jesus tells us that we are blessed (happier, more peaceful, grateful, fulfilled) when we put that aside and embrace that it really is all about Him (Jesus/God). He also shows us how to put aside the "All About Me" ideal reflected in the adoration of our society and culture.<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/The-End-of-Me-Where-Real-Life-in-the-Upside-Down-Ways-of-Jesus-Begins/dp/1434707075/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">The End of Me: Where Real Life in the Upside-Down Ways of Jesus Begins</a>

This book is a quick read that's easy to get through during your free time. For those worried about becoming more of a conversationalist, or simply becoming more likable, there are a few points in the book that can easily be practiced in everyday situations. I enjoyed reading the studies, the majority of what we do and accomplish is based on energy, and this book aims to teach the reader how to successfully channel that energy. While this book had a few flaws in the grammar department, I enjoyed its content. I received this book in return for my unbiased opinion.

Annie Downs is a speaker and blogger who writes with a cheery, conversational style that makes each chapter a series of pep talks for the timid soul. She shares her struggles with singlehood, with changing jobs, changing locations, and living a life where she has to step out in faith.

I'll admit I was put off by her writing style at first--a little too much girlfriend-to-girlfriend; but I warmed to it as I read along. She's very open about her struggles and fears and honest about how scary it is to step out in faith and move out of her comfort zone.  She finds grace and humor in most situations and her joy comes through as she shares her stories.

I found this book to be inspiring. The target reader is probably in her 20's or 30's. It's not heavy with Scripture, but her faith is evident in every chapter and the Scripture verses flow naturally in the conversation. You'll certainly be inspired, if not a bit braver, after reading this.

I loved Jasinda's honesty about her own journey and how she conveys the information in a down to earth, humorous way. Can't wait to get started on my own transformation!

This book is an easy read. I thought I was gonna be learning something new about the way women communicate but, actually I'm learning more about myself than ever before.  The book's stories about certain families or certain women who have had the opportunities to deal with people (kids), bring up so much of my own memories of the way I've dealt with my own children, husband, family members and people in general.  I mean, I thought I was a pretty positive kind of woman but when reading this book I notice just how negative, how rude, how thoughtless, my words have been at times.  That is why I made my title for this book as "noticing the obvious".  It is so easy to say what you think and speak without thinking but, our words can easily (thoughtlessly) be a curse to others if not down-right murderous.  Especially to young people.
We remember very clearly what others say to us but, we never give a second thought about the hurtful things we say to others.  This book is really good at bringing out the obvious.
Definitely worth buying, definitely worth reading and sharing--------and don't stop with woman share with men too

In life many of us get caught in wanting to be the person for everyone else. Our need to help, or make it easier on someone else, instead of what's best for yourself. This book shows you how to fulfill your need to be a good person while still putting  yourself first. I found this book/guide to be very easy to read. This was a huge reminder that in order to live life to the fullest you have to be self-full! It's not selfish it's actually better for your family and friends to be able to better communicate and live a happy life.

What I like about this book is that it tells it like it is. If you want to lose weight and get in shape, it's going to take time and effort. Nothing comes easy. It's also has very humorous relatable stories that make it a quick easy read.

Cheryl Strayed speaks to me on my level, not to complicated and to the point, this is an easy enjoyable read, I don't think the F bomb was really needed in a few quotes but it's just a word right? I only thought about it as I purchased a few extra to give as gifts
