Empower Yourself
Following the overwhelming response to Treasure Yourself, Miranda continues to explore similar themes in her latest title, providing insight on what she believes it means for young, modern women to be empowered in all areas of life and how this can be achieved.
For Miranda, one of the most powerful tools to facilitate change, both in her own life, and in the lives of others, is the use of positive affirmations. Here, she has written over 250 personal affirmations that can be used to achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle, harmonious relationships, fulfilling career and happiness.
"When we have the courage to speak our truth, no matter how difficult that may be, we tap into the infinite power that lies within us."
"Come with me on a nurturing journey. I believe we all have a responsibility to bring peace and harmony into our lives and to share these experiences with others. My wish is that the thoughts and affirmations in this book will help you to focus on the positive, leading you to a life of greater self-care and joy. To be your best you have to do your best. And when you continually look with optimistic eyes, you empower yourself!" Miranda Kerr

And she does it again. I love Miranda's book, Treasure Yourself, so I had to give this a go as well. I have always suffered from low self esteem and negative thoughts, and the whole shebang, so picking up this book lifted some weight off of my shoulders. She just so effortlessly lets you know that if you are positive, and kind, and work hard, you will have an amazing life. It's not always as simple as that, but for me, right here, right now, it is just that simple. Positivity works every time. I recommend both of Miranda's books immensely. They will change your outlook, and if not, you don't want to change it.

As always, a wonderful, inspirational book from Miranda. A great and short read, cannot wait to start opening it at random places daily. I love reading Miranda's thoughts on life, and hope there will be another book release from her soon.

I loved the first book, because it was emotional and you were able to truly see Miranda Kerr in a different light.
I expected this book to be great just like the previous one. It was great with all the affirmations and all, but man that was a mission.
Lets be honest, and mostly this is for me. It's hard to apply all of them at once, when there's so many.
It does inspire you to be more like her and it makes me idolise her from a stand off-ish perspective because of how healthy she is with her wellbeing and how she is comfortable in her skin. BUT she can say that because she's so beautiful.
she's gorgeous inside and out!
And just to put it out there..
I don't care what the media says about her, because truthfully media is false and dishonest.
I'm a nobody in my neighbourhood and I was interviewed to be in an article on the newspaper and... what do you know they put incorrect statements and twisted my words all in the name of making a "great story" It makes you think, about the unfairness of celebrities that we see in our magazines sitting on the counter.
Lets, step into their shoes. If I wanted to be an actor, I would step out into the industry, hit a couple of roles and make it big, live the Hollywood dream (in Real life, it aint so easy) But anyways, back to the story.
Before, I even get to that stage, in my mind and heart I know that I will not change for anyone! not even for my soul mate Not because i'm selfish or immature, but because you just cant change who you are.
So why is it wrong for celebrities to speak there own opinion?

I love the cover, the paper, the content, the pastel colored illustrations and everything about the whole book. I always felt attraction to hold then read the book whenever I passed through my bookshelf, hahaha. The book radiates good vibration (really) so for me it is a blessing to have this magical book on my hands. The cover color (my fav) and the content inside attract happiness, confidence and self healing to me. And I already feel like Miranda as my mom through the book, as it is such wise advices to a daughter from her beloved mom. Thank you Miranda, for the book (and for being inspiration to me) :)<3
I recommend this book to whoever who loves affirmation as a tool to reach a better-you in a lot of self aspects, without feeling bored because this book totally have the magical touch of creativity and wisdom at the same time. It is worth to have.

I've always found Miranda Kerr a true inspiration, and her book, Empower Yourself proves how inspiring she is.
Different from what I expected, each page of the book contains a life theory of Miranda and an affirmation. It's easy to read and allows you to get back to it easily whenever you feel like to do so.
These theories are something we all know, but not something we all do. This book acts as a reminder to encourage us to treat ourselves better!
If you are having a bad day, you can flip open this book randomly, and I'm sure you'll find some insights in it!

Freaking AWESOME book I just want to scream at how this is a great little read. Felt a real honestly with this book it has some realistic affirmation that I believe helped me with my day to day. Its not airy fairy and has some pretty pictures in it as well which helps. I love Miranda Kerr last book "treasure yourself" and this is as equally as beautiful book that as beautiful as Miranda Kerr and her kind heart. Highly recommend this book for a young teen or anyone who like these kind of books.

Its about having the tools to change your life and the lives of others using positive affirmation , Through the writers own journey she has used yoga, meditation and prayers focusing on positive guidance, faith and visualisation. This book is a tool which helps you keep your life in balance, shows you how to a appreciate our one ness, forge relationships to benefit from one to another, to ask for help and give support. Just loved the book.

November 14, 2017I finally added this book to goodreads, because it's been out for a month and was missing from the Goodreads database for some reason. Can't wait to find it in stores!

I believe this is a great book for young girl adults. It shows us how to respect each other and life lessons. I would definitely recommended this book to all the girls/young ladies or adults .

Disclaimer: I received a review copy c/o the publisher via Netgalley.
I love Miranda Kerr. She’s one of my favourite Victoria Secret’s models. I’ve always been curious about the books she’s written (her books always seem to be wrapped in bookstores, so I never really know what’s inside) are about and so I jumped at the chance to read this book.
Empower Yourself is a self-help book that leans more towards the daily affirmation, coffee table book type of self-help. If you’ve read Demi Lovato’s Staying Strong: 365 Days a Year, Empower Yourself is pretty similar. I enjoyed Empower Yourself, it was quick to glance through and certainly lifted my spirits after reading it. Empower Yourself, is as the title suggests, filled with daily affirmations about how you can empower yourself by loving yourself, finding your voice, voicing opinions, respecting your body and others (among others). Its a great book that you can pick up after you’ve had a bad day and I can certainly see myself following some of these affirmations. They’re great reminders of how you can treat yourself and others better and love and appreciate yourself. Empower Yourself may or may not change your life, but it can certainly help you to remember the more important things in life.
The only thing I’m not such a great fan of is the pictures. The beginning and end of the book is filled with pictures of Miranda, which doesn’t contribute to the book and depending on my mood it might make me feel less empowered but more annoyed.
Regardless, Empower Yourself is supposed to make you feel good about yourself and for the most part, it does its job. Empower Yourself is a good book to have but not necessary to buy.

*An advanced copy of this book was graciously provided to me by the publisher to honestly review.*
In “Empower Yourself,” Miranda Kerr’s follow-up to “Treasure Yourself,” readers are entered into a world of positive affirmations for young, modern women. Topics touched upon range from body-positivity to family life and everywhere in between. Each page is formatted so that there is a topic, a paragraph regarding why you should positively affirm yourself for said topic, and then an “empowering” affirmation.
I really enjoyed reading the book. It was a quick read, just because there weren’t really full pages of text. I think it would be nice to read one affirmation everyday when you wake up rather than read the entire thing at once, like I did. While I enjoyed the affirmations, I felt as though they were somewhat repetitive and robotic at times. They were, however, very positive and empowering. I found myself smiling and writing down quotes to put around my room.
I would give this book 3 stars. I’d recommend the book to young women (ages 18-28), especially those who are struggling with self-confidence and loving themselves.

Title: EMPOWER Yourself
Series: -
Author: Miranda Kerr
Genre: Self-help/ Spiritual
Rating: 3 stars
This is not usually the sort of books I tend to read, but I was drawn in by the beautiful fabric cover design.
The design of this book, both inside and out, is the only thing I really enjoyed about it (given that it's not to my taste). To be honest, I was hoping for an element of this book to include a spiel about the wonderfully talented, successful Miranda Kerr, but unfortunately that was a let down. My own fault for expecting it.
For those who enjoy the style of content, this book would be a wonderful addition, with new and old affirmations provided and an overall positive vibe that entices you to read on. The beautiful imagery helps to add the affect that you're not just reading another book, but this is a spiritual journey.
This is Miranda's second book of the type, and although not quite as lovely as the first, it is still a nice addition to your spiritual library.

I received a copy from netgalley for review.
I liked a lot of what Miranda put in her book and I wrote down a lot of quotes from the book in my own personal notebook. I havent read her first book so i didnt really know what to expect. I thought overall it was kinda preachy on how she believes women should live. And it was a lot if she manages it thats amazing, I don't know if I could ever be that perfect. Maybe one day im only 22. I didn't learn anything knew from reading this book but at points I did enjoy the reminders. It was really fast read, a few hours.

This book is something that should be read daily or simply when you're feeling low. It gives you that motivation and the feeling of empowerment - yes, like the title - is actually quite remarkable. Alas, i made the mistake of reading the book in 1 sitting and thus i found it extremely boring, i merely just flicked through the pages like how you'd read a magazine.
Nonetheless, if i were to read it daily or simply whenever i find the tim, im sure it'd be a wonderful book to have.

**I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in return for an honest review.**
This is a great inspirational book. You could read it straight through (as I did) or when you feel you need a pick me up or a guiding hand, you can pick it up and find exactly the affirmation you need. This would also make a wonderful gift for a new mom, a child on the cusp of adulthood or college or as a gift to yourself.

Nothing really surprising. Most passages in this book are common/cliched things we've all heard before. Some parts of the book got repetitive. Overall a nice short read.

Encouraging and Uplifting
It's a simple book with a simple message: Be positive. Sometimes we tend to forget that life is what we make it.

This book is so beautiful. The cover, the quotes. Even though the things written are known by all, its a fresh reminder and looks great on the night stand.

As a long-time admirer of Miranda Kerr’s composure and kindness, I was eager to dive into Empower Yourself.
While Miranda herself admits that the book doesn’t reinvent the wheel, its strength lies in its simplicity.
The short, 2–3 page notes at the beginning are lovely, and though some information might seem "obvious" or mundane at first glance, they serve as vital reminders of things we often overlook in our busy lives.
Miranda’s positive energy truly radiates through the pages.
I think this book works best as a daily ritual. You can read one affirmation a day (either from the book or her flashcards), and that will be a wonderful way to reset your mindset and get a daily dose of affirmations.

This is a beautiful gift, for a young woman, who needs some guidance in becoming a confident, motivated, and positive woman, in this busy, and sometimes negative based world and media we live in. I use this book for grounding and centering, whenever I feel a bit lost and worn down by all the external forces and opinions in this world. It helps me learn to love myself more, and consequently love others on a deeper level with more understanding.
Thank you,
Miranda.

This book is exactly what you’d expect. Honestly I think it would be a great purchase for preteens as they are somewhat really great guidelines to live by that you’d wanna share and just because it is common and obvious doesn’t mean there isn’t a sweet useful sentiment to it.

What a book! Miranda inspires me, everyday.

3.5⭐️
A nice quick read if you're feeling down or need a reminder that your power lies within yourself and your decisions. Also, somehow the smell of the pages even have a relaxing effect.

Miranda Kerr writes yet another powerful book for people of all ages. I adored the first one and how she would link stuff back to her personal life and I do believe that was missing in this one. Regardless, I loved each affirmation. I do believe that through affirmations you can create a different and better person out of yourself and these affirmations are a good way to start! Again, it could have been better by having some more stories or ways to link it into a persons life (I do understand this is an affirmations book but a little insight into how each affirmation can impact you would have made this a five-star book instead of 4. As a 17 year-old I think that all of us can create a superior place to live in if we invest time to better ourselves first. Affirmations have helped me through my life and once again they continue to get me places and this book will definitively help my spirituality.

I`ve been admiring Miranda for a long time and her way of being is just so positive! She just seems to spread love wherever she goes. Obviously, I loved her second book a lot! The affirmations and advice was so good and beautifully written. I heard she`s writing a 3rd book which I`m very excited about! <3
February 22, 2016
I thought this was an actual book not affirmations. It's still very pretty and positive so I'm determined to look at it for good thoughts but I'd be lying if my Mum and I didn't laugh about some of it's advice like "Drink Water". #ThanksMiranda #LifeAdvice
