Uncommon Wisdom for Women

If you could sum up How to Love Yourself in three words, what would they be?

Trust, Balance, and Wisdom

What other book might you compare How to Love Yourself to and why?

I've read a lot of books on the topic of successful relationships and living well. This book really stands out because Ms. Green provides really sound advice and guidance that is accessible and applicable. I think this book could easily have a companion journal!

Which scene was your favorite?

Ms. Green discusses how the world we live in is based upon creating dissatisfaction in some area and then offering a "solution", which is usually an expensive purchase or hobby. This is a paraphrase from the book: "There's a large market for unhappy people" meaning that the world teaches us that we'll only be satisfied when we buy, buy, buy. But this really isn't the case! There's some really sound advice in this book about choosing friends. We have to listen to ourselves and if a person makes you uncomfortable you have to pay attention to it. There's a lot of important information about choosing the right people to spend time with. I wish I'd had this advice years while I was in college.

What insight do you think you’ll apply from How to Love Yourself?

There are a lot of pearls of wisdom in this book and it's very thought provoking. The first is to trust yourself, which Ms. Green points out is "defectively simple." How true! Also, a way to show others respect is to give them permission to be imperfect. Finally, all areas of our lives need to be in balance in order to be genuinely happy.

Any additional comments?

This is a great book! Having a healthy relationship with yourself will change everything about your life. I highly recommend this book for women of all ages, but especially young women.

Very basic but good

Sometimes self-evident to the point of idiocy (e.g. you have to maintain personal hygiene), but good overall. Very, very short.

Geared toward young adults

Nice advice for young adults but not so useful for someone more mature. Narrator has a pretty voice.

Telling about Loving yourself in an unique way

What made the experience of listening to How to Love Yourself the most enjoyable?

Just understand about how to love yourself in so many different facets and what ways truly make a difference in loving yourself in a whole new fashion

What did you like best about this story?

Just listening about the tips and how basically to love yourself fully as a person to understand that you control everything that you can and that you can bring yourself to a better place.

What does Amy Barron Smolinski bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Just her voice brings calmness and helps me understand the book further through her own explanations and it brings a much joy able atmosphere.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I wanted to listen to it in one full seating but i had to allow myself for breaks to fully immerse myself in the story a lot better when i went back and forth

Extremely helpful audiobook!

What was one of the most memorable moments of How to Love Yourself?

I have read many self-help books regarding this topic, but this audiobook really stands out from the rest. I had problems with negative thinking and negative self-image (I am overweight) my whole life, and I’ve tried out some exercises and advice I learned from this audio book and they really did help. The principles are simple but aren't easy to apply without practice ans persistence. I plan to listen it a few more times, and next time I will take notes!

A must read

I listene to this book at lease a couple of times a week. After being in a Manipulating, Verbal Abusive,and being married to a Alcoholic Narcissistic Man for 26 year's.
