Thank you to Net Galley, Zondervan and Thomas Nelson for the advanced copy of this book.
I really enjoyed how simply practical this book is. Lots of self-help books bombard you with lesson after lesson or thing to do in order to feel successful in whatever the topic of the book is. this one was very basic, but I felt made it very approachable and easy to feel like you can make progress and live a more happy life by doing simple things. I found myself highlighting practical line after practical line. A book you could go back to and remind yourself of these things in different seasons of life.

Finally, a self-help book that doesn't expect you to wake up at 4 AM, meditate for three hours, and reorganize your entire spice rack alphabetically by Thursday. Erin Port's "Tiny Tweaks, Happy Life" is basically the lazy person's guide to getting your life together – and I mean that in the best possible way.

The Gist
Port's revolutionary idea? You don't need to Marie Kondo your entire existence or join a convent to find happiness. Instead, she suggests making tiny changes that won't require you to abandon your Netflix subscription or learn Sanskrit. Groundbreaking stuff, really.
The book targets busy women who are tired of feeling like they're failing at life because they can't maintain a 47-step morning routine while simultaneously raising perfect children and running a Fortune 500 company. So, basically all of us.

What's Actually Good
The "tiny tweaks" approach is refreshingly realistic. Instead of telling you to completely overhaul your personality by next Tuesday, Port suggests small changes like... wait for it... maybe not checking your phone while brushing your teeth. Revolutionary.

Port gets surprisingly deep at times, dropping wisdom bombs like "The end of life has a way of clarifying the truth of what really matters." Nothing like a little existential dread to motivate you to stop scrolling TikTok and actually call your mom back.

The best part? The strategies are customizable, which means you can ignore the ones that make you feel guilty and focus on the ones that require minimal effort. It's like a choose-your-own-adventure book, but for adults who've given up on adventure.

The Verdict
Look, this is basically a common sense approach to living life to the fullest, wrapped in gentle self-help packaging. If you were lucky enough to have extended family who showed up for you – grandparents who babysat, aunts who listened to your teenage drama, uncles who taught you to change a tire – you already know the secret: people matter more than possessions. Port's just reminding the rest of us what we somehow forgot in our quest to optimize our sock drawers.

And like I always told my children, what you put out to the universe is what will come back to you so mind your mindset! Port's book is essentially a gentle nudge toward that same wisdom.

This book won't transform you into a zen master overnight, but it might help you feel slightly less like you're drowning in your own to-do list. Port essentially gives you permission to make small changes and call it progress, which honestly feels like exactly what some people need to hear.
Perfect for anyone who's ever bought a self-help book, read three pages, felt overwhelmed, and used it as a coaster instead.

Bottom line: It's like self-help, but make it achievable.

Such a useful surprise! Tiny Tweaks, Happy Life is gold if you are looking for some simple and accessible ideas to help get your life together. Not everything in your life, and not all at once, but it will make a difference..

Erin Port's approach of changing small things is so easy. Once I had success with one tiny tweak, I had the confidence to try another one. I'm not done yet, but this charming little book is going to make a big difference in my life - I can tell already!
"Happiness serves as a momentary signal for what brings your heart sustaining joy."

Things I've done include noticing and increasing the amount of time I spend each day on activities that bring me joy.
* More reading, less scrolling.
* Audiobook on while I'm in the garden.
* Making morning coffee time sacred.
Some of it's common sense, some is just being a little bit more intentional, all of it is useful.

Another thing: Writing a list of everything swimming around in my head that I need to do. Then prioritising them all. If they are written down, I don't have to ruminate about them.

Respect the mono task. By only multitasking if I can add a not-so-fun thing to a fun one, I get more of the boring bits out of the way.

Tiny Tweaks, Happy Life is nothing on its own that's life changing, but I can feel these little things accumulating already. Recommended!

A fast read with a myriad of 'tiny tweaks' that can make a difference. While nothing here is earth shattering, a nice collection of recommendations, very actionable.
