Get this book!

I have been a Dr. Julie Smith follower in Instagram for ages now. I love her videos and I was very excited when she announced her book, unfortunately it wasn's available in South Africa just yet so I started listening to the audio book and I have loved it. Her voice is easy to follow, only downside is that I have been listening to it while driving and there are times when I wish I could write things down. This book provides great tips that are easy to follow and I look forward to implementing them.

Thank you Dr. Smith for showing me that I'm not alone in trying to figure out this thing called life.

A MUST read

This is a must read for any human being. This is the best gift you could give yourself or any one of your loved ones. It’s a precious book that holds a special place in my heart (and book shelf ;)) and I will keep my eyes open in case the author decides to release anything else.

This book is a guide for life and I liked that she included “toolkit” sections because this is exactly what I felt this book gave me - a toolkit for how to live my life in the best way possible, to navigate it confidently, with the right outlook, attitude, mindset and approach, be present, deal with things the right way for positive outcomes and really bring the best out of it.
I loved the title, the structure and of course the content. It was full of insight and impactful knowledge and it was organized so well!
The narration was perfection.

This is a book you get back to, reference in many different circumstances and recommend to anyone who would listen.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did 🙏🏻

Thank you to the author for this book, it was a wonderful ride :)

Excellent and practical application

very helpful book and derived a lot of insight and value from the book. the practical application is outstanding

It was ok

I think it was ok. Probably need to listen to it once more.
Good advice.

So not worth it

It is always more or less the same with self help books but this one is just not worth the hassle of listening. Had to return because I could not stand the “filler” sentences throughout a chapter.
