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.
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.
