A good positive read but hard to read on a device due to illustrations so some pages became destroyed. Overall a good self help book. I didn't complete all the activities but for others I'm sure they'd be helpful.

I commend Arielle Nyssa for sharing her personal story. I have a Christian world view and I could relate to the many struggles she had in the church. Having said that, I think that the secular system (social media, makeup industry and the movie industry is always chipping away at our self worth). I will honor each and every person and their belief system. It’s a tough world out there and I for one want to help as many females as I can. Gender equality is still a thing. How we feel we don’t measure up because of whatever media is is an epidemic.
Did I agree with everything she said? No. Do I think this was helpful? Yes.
About the book: It’s a journal of sorts with great ideas about daily or monthly planners. And she shared her story, thank you Arielle for that and I loved what you said on the very last page! Brilliant! Xx
She talked about:
• Body image
• Gender
• Trigger Words
• Marketing influence
• Our mindset
• Forgiving ourselves
• Thankfulness
• Trusting ourselves
• Positive relationships
• Be your true self

I think I'm not a target demographic for "Self-love Bible" by Ariella Nyssa. This publication looks like another vanity project put together by a social-media influencer, who does not seem to possess qualification necessary to produce a workbook that allows the readers to deepen their work on themselves. Exercises in this book seem quite random, repetitive and some of the advice is way too woo-woo. Very little substance under the colourful layer of clever design.

It feels weird to rate and review a book that's clearly written by the author for the author herself. I appreciate Ariella's raw honesty and courage in sharing about her life. In this nonfiction guide book, she opens up about her childhood, marriage, divorce, faith as well as past hurts and struggles. It's also filled with useful activities and exercises meant to help readers work through their pain and baggage.

Unfortunately, this was just an okay read for me. I found the content quite dry and it didn't hold my interest. A large part is also due to the fact that I read a digital arc on my phone. I think my reading experience and enjoyment level would be vastly different if I read a hardcopy and partook in the aforementioned exercises.

Nevertheless, Ariella is an inspiring figure and I'm so glad she is where she is today.

Although I am not familiar with this author she is clearly beautiful inside and out and this book is a brutally honest book and journal to make you look at your body in a kind way and celebrate everything even your imperfections.
