Thank you to the publishers and netgalley for this arc in exchange for my honest review.

I am not a massive reader of ‘self help’ books but was given the opportunity to read this and after reading it and taking a moment to think how it would apply to me and my situations. I have to say it was full of brilliant guidance and was not condescending like previous books I have tried to read.

I will definitely revisit parts of it and explore in more depth. Would recommend to anyone wanting ideas on being kinder to themselves!

The Kindness Method by Shahroo Izadi is a self help book designed to change lives by breaking habits and being kind to ourselves. It is "Giving yourself permission to be kind to you." Often we are our worst critic. We need to "Conquer... the habit of negative self talk."
This book gives personal testimony as well as suggesting we mind map various topics. As we progress along the way, we will need to review our mind maps to see how far we have come.
We all have negative habits that rule our lives and need breaking. This book sets out exercises designed to help us break the cycle of our bad habits, as well as questions for internal reflection.
Shahroo Izadi suggests setting realistic, clearly defined goals for the change we want to see. A lapse does not mean a relapse. We need to keep moving forward.
The Kindness Method has the power to help you change your life if you want to. The most important thing is:
Be kind to yourself.
I received this book for free from Net Galley. A favourable review was not required and all views expressed are my own.

I'm quite excited about this book so I'm going to put in writing what I'd like to work on so I can't back out!

I used to love taking time for myself and exercising a little everyday, I would make excuses as to why I stopped but I know myself it was due to sheer lazyness.

I'm excited to get going and see where the kindness method takes me over the next few weeks. To be honest this challenge has come at a very good time for me because I'm not being very kind to myself lately.

I'll be back soon with a full review!
