I loved this book! I think I was feeling a bit negative going into reading it, and was ready to roll my eyes at any advice given, but Rachel Martin writes in such a down to earth way, it was more like having a lovely, kind friend impart advice and wisdom to me. I think different chapters will appeal to a variety of readers. Personally, I was really inspired by the chapters on challenging your perception of what you're capable of.

First of all, I would like to thank the author, Ms. Rachel and NetGalley for sharing an ARC of this book. I really appreciate it. It's been a while since I grabbed an ARC on the site and provided a review.

As an introduction, I don't really read self-help books as most of them feels sugarcoated versions of reality and were too forceful in imposing their way of living. I only looked for one because I'm struggling myself to the point where I don't want to go to work anymore and has been too emotional lately. When I found this book, I only saw few reviews but I the title made me feel that I need this book.

Honestly, this one's too lengthy for me but thank God, I was able to finish it. What I like about it is it was like a snap back to reality and Ms. Rachel was just like a friend who tells her stories and comforts me in some ways. It was like, "this is what happened to me. The same might be good to you. You can do it like this too. Still, it's up to you." She never said her ways were the best or the only way but she shares insights through her life experiences.

Her narrative was never forced. I don't know her personally but I feel like she's just really sharing her life story. For this, I want to thank her for somehow helping me lift a weight on my shoulders and push me to go forward with the things I wanted to do.

It's a good book for those who are lost like me.
