Great book with helpful applications!

I thought this book was well balanced between theory/science and personal examples and practical application.

wonderful book!

Great content, performed well. I use a lot of these principles and techniques in my coaching practice

Truly awesome

Chalk full of practical ideas and steps to more fully live with purpose. I can’t think of another book that has more value per chapter. Definitely tops my self help book list.

I had to read this for school but I’m not mad about it

I really enjoyed this book, and I definitely found some of the concepts very helpful and universal. It was one of the required texts in my positive psychology class and compared to the 8$ paperback, I definitely felt that this was worth the double price just due to the convenience as well as having a digital copy. I can see myself listening to this a couple more times to really absorb all the different techniques in this book.

It’s really helped me accept a wedding coming up that I have to attend or face consequences that don’t align with my values (my bfs family will think I’m shitty for not going). I’m starting to get excited about what I can control like what I can wear, nails, hair, makeup etc. and not dreading the event as much and seeing family and having drinks. Still couldn’t care less about the wedding but maybe another listen will help me feel more excited for the people getting married (I just really don’t like them -just shy of hate- and I feel bad that I’m just not happy for them at all) I’m tempted to try a lot of the exercises in the book just for this.

Saved my life!

It was a phenomenal read! I play this audio book to fall asleep and feed my subconscious mind the information as well instead of falling asleep to TV. I even gave my hard copy to someone who I believe needed it more than me at the time and she was very grateful!

Probably my all time favorite

Probably my all time favorite. What a legend that is Russ Harris. Many thanks. PS

Phenomenal

I loved this book. The author’s presentation was wonderful. There’s free “extra bits” as part of the book you can download from author’s website which are really helpful in doing the exercises in the book. I recommend this book to everybody. I think everyone will find something in this book to improve their life and cope better with life’s ups and downs.

calm nature of writer

should start each CP w/how cup 30 is written. author is unique and personable l.

Great book!!

Must stop and DO the work! Don’t be a hearer only! So much wisdom in here!

Life changing book.

I wish I could buy a copy of this book for everyone. It is full of practical wisdom and psychological truth that can help anyone live a more fulfilling life, no matter their circumstances. I really appreciated that the author/narrator calls attention to the fact that this is an audio book and it is important to stop and periodically do the activities that the book describes. Please do the exercises. It makes a huge difference.
