My Review

I have been trying to incorporate more personal growth books into my regular reading schedule, and my daily routine has been in a bit of turmoil recently. I don’t feel like I’m utilizing my hours the most wisely throughout the day, and as someone who is very invested in healthy habits, I was hoping for some encouragement and tangible advice from downloading this one. For me, personal growth novels can be a little hit or miss. Sometimes I feel like I’m reading the same advice over and over, but I remind myself that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes I do need to read the same thing 20 times before I actually start to implement it, before something finally switches in my mind and goes hey, everyone is mentioning this, why not just try it. So while a few things got repetitive for me, it’s not bothersome when it comes to my self-improvement reading time.

 I was most curious on the section about procrastination, which is my biggest downfall. There were a few good takeaways I got from that part, and overall I liked the easy reading style, digestible sections, and it was a fairly quick read. I wasn’t quite as motivated when I got to the end that I like to be with these kinds of reads, but it was enough that I found it to be a worthwhile download.
