I thought this book was cutesy and light, very easy to get through. Granted, it all seems like stuff that decent empathetic people (women) would already know. I did find the info to be helpful in the sense that it centered me in the intention to treat people well and foster connection/diffuse arguments/communicate more effectively. I didn’t finish the book with any new or profound insights but it was a helpful/inspirational read that left me wanting to make a positive impact in the lives of everyone I love.

This book is the best book I read this year and I’ve read a lot! I really picked it up because I wanted to learn more about relationships. To my pleasant surprise it focused a lot more on relationships with ourselves. Written so beautifully. Now I want to read all of this authors books!
