- A book filled with positive thoughts and suggestions of ways to clear the negativity from yur life and to focus on the things that matter. I think most people would agree that the gifts discussed would be considered ways of making your life happier and more meaningful, including pursuing your dreams, ridding your life of toxic people, and being open to the people who can have a good influence on our lives. Most would consider these ideas common sense, but truthfully, many individuals have forgotten their importance or have just become lost in general and can use a guidebook to get themselves back on track. The author even provides avenues for applying these concepts to your daily living.
I consider this a great pick-me-up manual that I can turn to for an injection of positivity – certainly an enjoyable read.

I won this Book as a First Read in a Giveaway, which won't influence my reading experience or Review of it.
I also would like to thank Christina Westover for choosing me & for such a short shipping time. (Wow, that was super quick!)
I won the book at a difficult time. I had recently lost my father in a traumatic way & was trying to get my mind away from reliving his final moments again & again in my head.
This book helped my partially. Not only did it occupy my mind, but also I tried to put it to use in feeling better about the whole situation I was in. Despite being a book with 'only' 150 pages I needed a bit longer to read this than I would usually have, which was okay I guess because I really wanted to take my time with this book since some Passages should be re-read to get a better understanding.
The author surprised me with a lovely, uplifting dedication on the title/first recto page.
After an interesting foreword at the beginning, the book is divided into 10 Chapters, the 10 Gifts.
These 10 Gifts (or even Ways maybe) are thought to help you change and mold your life how you want it to be.
I'll be honest, that a few of the gifts were logical steps everyone should know at a certain age, but are we really thinking logically or rational when we are in distressing times? Not me, most of the time I will behave rather contra productive.
And that's why I think this book is a good piece of reading matter when we are in need of help. Or even just to be reminded, that the reader, as an unique, person matters.
A very recommendable read in my humble opinion.

~~~ I won this book in a First-Read giveaway. Thank you so much Goodreads and Christina Westover! ~~~
You want to be successful in your life? You want to be happy again? You want to be you again? Then I recommend you this book! I was captured from the very beginning. Christina Westover has a very captivating writing style which keeps you reading page by page. Little anecdotes from her own life makes it easy to follow and to identify. More than once did I nod in agreement or heard myself say "EXACTLY"!
My life is perfect right now, but should I ever have a low point in the future I know how to get it back.
Thank you Christina for this wonderful book and your personal signature!

Surprisingly pleasant read. Some obvious ideas, some new. Reads like The Secret but without the holistic fluff. For anyone needing to get themselves in a better place or just to find inspiration to better yourself.
