Unfortunately overly simplistic and too focused on the author’s own journey to be useful to someone who is already somewhat knowledgeable about the topic.

Overall this was a good book, which I enjoyed.

I would say I probably am the target market (I'm a middle aged woman with my own business) and I felt it was well written and the points made were valid and interesting.

The writing was very accessible, the writer has a friendly style which speaks directly to the reader without jargon but for me as a British reader it felt a little too 'American'.

However, I did feel the book was quite brief, and there wasn't anything that felt revolutionary or groundbreaking, more of a reminder of things that you already know or might read in a magazine.

It's an easy read and light enough to dip into, but not my usual genre and probably not something that will stay in my mind.

I didn’t realize when I requested this book that it’s written by a life coach and it’s designed for self employed entrepreneurs. This is the author’s personal story of overcoming PTSD and it’s a motivational book for other women who are trying to run their own businesses. None of the psychological information was new to me and I don’t think I’m the target audience, but it’s an affirming book and could be helpful for those who relate to her story.

I read a digital ARC of this book via netgalley.

The writing style of this book made it entertaining. It was more story/conversational format. It was written with ways to implement the suggestions given in an easy way. Great resource.

I liked this book. The style of writing, which I'd say is fairly conversational and based on anecdotes in some parts, wasn't necessarily my favorite aspect, as great as the book was; however, if someone likes the feeling of a book which truly speaks to them as the reader and enjoyer, they'll probably love both the style and the content.

I really appreciated that in addition to anecdotal experiences, the author included suggested questions and activity checklists to put into practice before, during, or after reading from the book. I particularly enjoyed the mention of different basic/possibly ubiquitous spaces where one can relax.

Some of the chapters are fairly brief, but I don't think this is a problem, as much as something I'd like to mention to other readers interested in this book. They're a good length, especially given the opportunity to learn through experience by following the activities mentioned outside of one's time spent reading. Good stuff.

Thank you to Post Hill Press for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
