A book everyone should make the effort to read in their lifetime.

A book about mental health and strategies to improve your mental wellbeing in today's technologically and antisocially stressful climate.
To be honest, this book seemed rather shallow and its principles are, in my opinion, already recognised by the vast majority of people. I guess it does well to drill home points rather than introduce anything groundbreaking.
Highlights:
Pg. 55: "We are not our thoughts… with practice we can separate from these thoughts and become the observer… we can bring awareness to self-beliefs that are holding us back, that aren't serving us, and create new self-beliefs about ourselves."
Pg. 118: "Yogis have for a long time understood… the breath doesn't reflect our state of being, it creates our state of being."
Pg. 144: The 5 communication monsters; the magician (immediately tries to fix everything), the thief (steals the moments to make it about themselves), blind optimist (rushes in with positivity that feels dismissive), the ostrich (avoids awkwardness and deflects, and the helicopter (panics when there's tension and escalates the situation). See Mitch Wallis.
Pg. 150: "Read hard copy books. Within a few clicks of a device and a few days, you can start learning from the most brilliant minds on the planet."
Pg. 176: "For a long time, I didn't realise how much power I was handing over by always blaming other people and circumstances, and even myself in unhealthy ways."
Pg. 178: "The most importance relationship you will ever have, is the one you have with yourself."

I have spent years struggling with my mental health, which has also caused several physical health issues.
I am incredibly grateful I found this book and would highly recommend it to anyone struggling with their own issues.
Reasons why I loved this book:
1. Cooper did a great job of explaining his story and the passion he built up for mental health.
2. Provides numerous practical steps you can incorporate into your daily routine.
3. Explained the importance of dedicating some time to your mental health.
4. The book made mental health feel simple, not overwhelming like other self-help books.
5. The 1% philosophy is an achievable task, and it removes pressure.
Thanks again, Cooper.

I’ve read heaps of self-help, personal development, and motivational books over the years, but The 1% Good Club by Cooper Chapman really stood out to me.
Cooper’s story is honest and real, taking the reader on his journey to discover his calling and a greater sense of purpose. What makes this book powerful is its simplicity—his practical suggestions are easy to apply and help you build a better future from the inside out.
The tools and mindset shifts connect on a deeper level and are relevant to anyone, no matter their setting or stage of life. A great read—definitely put it on your list!

There are some interesting parts to this book. He is an Aussie surfer and talks about learning some of life's important transformation issues. He also talks about his podcast quite a bit. It was ok, but I started skimming towards the end. I wish there were more concrete examples from his experience.

All around amazing book. I’ve been following coopers journey and listening to his podcast for a few years now and listened to all podcasts. He has done an amazing job of blending every bit of information he’s gathered along his journey into a well written and easy to read book that can work for anyone. Highly recommend =]
