Description
If you want to deal with daily struggles without becoming a basket case, to handle adversity and rejection with positivity, to keep moving forward without becoming despondent, then this book is for you!
In what critics have described as “A memoir of experiences with pithy prose,” Ally Dalsimer tackles the struggles of loss, motivation, and the journey we all take to be the person we want to be.
Weaving a dramatic yet light-hearted narrative punctuated by deeply moving personal stories, sayings, and observations, You Don’t Have to Be Fabulous Every Day! leads us on a journey to navigate periods of change with an eye to identifying and achieving our personal life goals with purpose and without self-sabotage or recrimination.
You’ll learn:
- How to navigate dealing with stress and anxiety in your daily life
- How to be more positive when coping with difficult people and situations
- How to change your brain whether you’re dealing with grief and loss or a difficult boss
- How positivity can be your strongest weapon for handling adversity and rejection
- How to get yourself unstuck and keep moving forward no matter what you’re facing
- How to manage daily struggles with grace and resilience
- How to love yourself and stop the self-sabotage
Tapping into wide-ranging wisdom from Thomas Edison to Yoda, from Martin Luther King, Jr. to Led Zeppelin, Ally will inspire you with insights for handling adversity and trauma with strength and wisdom. As she explains, “It’s okay if our paths are not linear—taking small steps or a few side steps is better than sliding backwards.”

I received an electronic ARC from BooksGoSocial through NetGalley.
Dalsimer offers a look at her thoughts on life in a free flowing style. Readers can either read straight through or read a section and pause to add their own ideas. This is one to read and then reread portions that directly connect with your life. She lets us in to see what has shaped her ideas along with offering tips and suggestions for readers. It's a lighter read with affirmations on how to enjoy life.

Ally Dalsimer is like that friend that listens to your anxieties and points out some very common sense reason to rethink the situation. (OK, I don’t know anyone who can instantly come up with appropriate quotes, and it does reinforce what she’s saying.) She gives examples from her own life and they are relatable. She avoids naval gazing and ‘working on yourself’ and chooses a much lighter approach that is reassuring and helpful. It’s a nice little book to keep around and revisit from time to time.
Cindy A, Reviewer
This is a very good book of positive advice, affirmations, & examples ...... it's all quite realistic, 'down to earth' offerings.....easy to take in & apply/use. It's short enough that it can be read in 1 sitting, & be satisfied/happy that you read it! I really liked the content, the book.......but I'm not really taken with the cover art...I feel like it projects kind of negative vibes, whereas the content of the book projects such a positive message.......might be a 5 star positive message! There's good, easy, welcome bits of ideas for everyone! I'm glad I was able to read it!
I received an e-ARC of the book from publisher BooksGoSocial via NetGalley, for review purposes. This is my own fair/honest review.
Christina F, Bookseller
This is a nice book with reminders that it’s ok to not be ok every day. The point is to keep going and moving forward. The book is full of quotes and sayings such as “just do it” and “there’s still time to change the road you’re on.” With all the stress in our daily lives it’s important to remember to be kind and to give yourself self-love. Some days are harder than others and that’s ok. Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for an ARC.

It’s Ok Not To Be Fabulous Every Day by Ally Dalsimer took me back to the early 80s when I was all into Gail Sheehy's Passages. It's like a 2023 version of that classic!
You know what I love about Dalsimer's book? It's filled with real-life tips that anyone can use. She throws in sayings, quotes, and some keen observations that really help you navigate life's crazy twists and turns. Let's face it, life can get super stressful these days, and this book reminds us to slow down, stop judging ourselves, and just be happy with who we are while trying to be our best selves. It's like a big ol' affirmation, and I'm all about that!
It's straightforward. So, if you want a book that'll give you a fresh perspective on life, It’s Ok Not To Be Fabulous Every Day is the way to go. (Linda - Guest Reviewer)
