Elevate: Unlock Your Extraordinary Potential by Shannah Kennedy & Colleen Callander, a book which as the title suggests helps you improve your life and elevate the ordinary into extraordinary.
The book draws theories and examples by holding three important pillars - Life, Leadership and Longevity. Each theory is packed with small activies and questions that make you think and self reflect towards change and growth.
Coming from a psychology background, few things were very relatable and backed with practical outcome. What makes this book unique according to me is the way it's written, I loved how each concept has piecharts, questions to reflect, diagram, etc which helps readers grasp better.
The book talks about creating vision boards, draw out your five year plans, take time out for things that you value the most - be it your family, friends, love, work, etc. It urges you to not just read these things about also simultaneously take action on it. I highly recommend this book to be on your shelf.

Elevate is a refreshing departure from traditional self-help books, and I felt its uniqueness from the very first chapter. Rather than offering generic advice, this book blends personal insights with professional wisdom in a way that feels deeply rooted in real-world experience. As I read, I couldn't help but appreciate the balance between empowering ownership of one's life, the concept of leading with purpose, and the emphasis on longevity—not just as living longer, but living better, forming the three pillars this book explores.
Emphasising on themes like self-awareness, prioritising self-care, identifying burnout and maintaining a healthy work-life balance, strengthening relationships, communicating the personal brand and great leadership tips, leading a fulfilling life, elevating the confidence and many more, this book is a great asset that I'll cherish forever. The most relevant part for me was burnout. The book is not just preachy advice. It's a conversational guide with worksheets and activities that are phenomenally useful and self-reflective.
The authors' expertise is evident, but what I enjoyed most was how they managed to keep the strategies practical and approachable. It's clear this book isn't just about lofty ideals. The step-by-step framework they lay out is easy to understand and filled with actionable tips that could be implemented right away. The focus on leadership, for instance, isn't just about corporate power but about using influence to create a positive impact in every area of life. For anyone, particularly young entrepreneurs and professionals, this book offers more than just the typical success formulas—it's a blueprint for living an extraordinary life. Elevate isn't just a guide; it’s an invitation to take ownership and create a life of purpose, health, and happiness.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ this was a surprisingly good self-development read! I hadn’t heard much about the book but stumbled across it and I’m glad I did. It covers 3 key pillars - Life, Leadership and Longevity, and provides practical tools to lead a life of purpose and success. I really enjoyed how ‘balanced’ the book was, often I find self-development books can be too passive in their approach OR too aggressive with the whole ‘just do more’ concept. Nothing felt forced! I also enjoyed its strength based approach with the authors focusing on how to elevate your current skill set or routine, rather than always focusing on weaknesses. For those that have read a number of self-development books, it’s unlikely to provide a lot of new information, but it does provide a well rounded approach to various aspects.

I grabbed this book because I felt stuck and tired of being average. Unlike most self-help books that just tell you to “think positive,” this one actually gives you real steps to follow.
The authors break everything down into three simple areas: your personal life, how you lead others, and taking care of your future self. What I loved most was how honest and practical it is - no fancy jargon or impossible promises. They call you out on your excuses (in a good way) and show you how to actually make changes that stick.
I’ve already started applying some of their advice and can see small improvements in how I approach challenges.
If you’re feeling like you could be doing more with your life but don’t know where to start, this book won’t overwhelm you with complicated theories.
It’s straightforward, easy to understand, and actually works.

Such a disappointment. The number of unsubstantiated “facts” presented in this book is frightening, let alone the number of ideas and concepts misappropriated from other books without any credit eg Atomic Habits, Start with why, pretty much every book by Malcolm Gladwell…even the book Eat the Frog is directly quoted as an effective time management tool without any acknowledgment!
Clearly written for the instagram/pop psychology audience.
If you’re looking for substance, look elsewhere.
