Self Help Book that really Helps

This book is helpful to me and my Coaching Practice I can't thank you enough!

Training your brain and breathing to improve mental health.

I liked the concepts in this book and the way it’s laid out. It give practical exercises to improve your behaviors and make changes.

Loved it

It really helped me find practical ways to cope with executive function difficulties. Recommendations were accurate for me.

Wasn’t able to get through book

Comprehensive in nature but too focused on the negative for me. I am a huge fan of Clifton Strengths. I think we all have God given talents that we should focus on instead of our weaknesses. I also found the narrator robotic.

Brilliant! Wish it had an accompanying PDF

This thing is FULL of educational content and self-help exercises from start to finish. The only problem is locating those exercises later. I listen in the car and have to backtrack through the audiobook when I get home to find the exercises again. It’s a little time consuming. Other than that, I LOVE it! I’ll be coming back to this one again and again because of how much advice it has.

great tools to use

I enjoyed the information and as I was listening I wanted to do more with what was discussed so, I bought the physical copy.

A little all over the place

The book has some helpful strategies but was all over the place. I did not think it flowed well from strategy to strategy.

To the point

Practical ideas in a simple to understand language.
Excellent narrator voice.
Gripping from start to end

Practical help for a distracted brain

COVID and turning 50 added to brain fog and memory issues. Looking forward to a second read to really absorb all that was learned.

A lot to unpack

The Brain Hack Meetup seems the most impactful (is that really sticks out but I’ll bet that because it was the last hack mentioned so I need to go back thru the book with a notebook…. Maybe with the group
