Such a useful yet beautiful guide, it gently leads you to a place of healing without being overtly abstract or self referential. Thank you, it’s exactly what I needed.

Like chicken soup for a battered and sad soul

I liked the contextualisation, the of other writers, the skilled self-referencing, the accessible acknowledgement of relevant research. It is true beautiful. Thank you Susan 🪷🦋🙏🏻

This book spans 7 lessons and they are all over the shop theme wise. I think if one of the themes resonates then this could be life changing. I found it so so but will remember the themes and revisit when big challenges in life arise.

A bit all over the place

This book is a joy to listen to and life changing. Whether you are chasing your tail running a company (like me) have lost someone dear to you or want to live your best life, this is for you. Also a great read, beautifully narrated.

Best book ever- have shared with my friends and am listening to it again.

There’s literally so much to learn from this book, so much that I could relate to, so much advice about how I can make my life calmer and meaningful. It’s a book that I will return to many times.

An enlightening listen

Waste of time and money. Hopefully this woman's voice and condensending attitude has you pressing stop. Unfortunately for me I continued and the advise/steps given here doesn't make you a stronger and better person. Weakness and airy fairy characters is all this novel aspires to.

Terrible advise given with condescending voice

I really enjoyed the first part, but I felt as though it thereafter strayed further and further from my idea of what building a quiet life looks like. Lots about pain and grief, lots about being a parent. I understand the author's intention here, but for me it happened not to resonate.
This series will change lives, but not mine unfortunately.
I'm glad I gave it a try though.

Sadly Not For Me
