I have read previous book by Anamika mam and every book has a hint of philosophy, somewhere I craved to read a selfhelp book as I love the vibe of Anamika mam and her thought process (even taken 1:1 session with her) This book is simply AMAZING and I just couldn’t keep it down. Very well explained very well written. Totally loved it. Highly recommended.

You’re curled up in your favourite nook, the world buzzing outside, when someone leans across the table and whispers, “Hey…what if all the noise around and inside you isn’t real? What if you could shoo it away?” That’s exactly the feeling Anamika Mishra’s Shoo the Noises gave me. I hadn’t heard of Mishra before, but now I’m convinced she has this rare knack for taking the chaos of modern life and turning it into something almost tangible — something you can sort, sift, and set aside.

The book greets you like an old friend who knows the storms in your mind better than anyone else. It isn’t just another self-help manual shouting “fix yourself!” Instead, it walks you through the messiness of human thought — the overthinking, the self-doubt, the habits that sneakily cage you — and gives you practical, gentle tools to reclaim your focus. Mishra blends mindfulness, emotional healing, and manifestation in a way that feels alive, relatable, and actionable. I found myself nodding at passages like, “Time is our most valuable asset. Once it is gone, it never comes back.” Ouch, yes — but in the best possible way.

Her prose is warm and conversational, like she’s sitting right there beside me, sipping chai, listening, and occasionally nudging me with a “try this.” There’s no heavy jargon, no pretension — just stories, reflections, exercises, and affirmations that slide into your mind without resistance. Chapters are short yet layered, almost like tiny meditations, and the pacing feels intuitive: some parts pull you along quickly; others invite you to pause, journal, or simply breathe.

What really struck me was the depth of the ideas Mishra explores. This isn’t surface-level “think positive” advice. She talks about Selective Minimalism — the line between what we want and what we truly need — and how silencing both internal and external noise transforms not just productivity but inner peace. I couldn’t help thinking of my own rituals — late-night journaling, quiet coffee shop sketches, solitary movie trips — all tiny acts of reclaiming myself, of shooing away the relentless noise. She validates that it’s okay to slow down, to protect your energy, to choose peace over perpetual chaos.

Emotionally, this book hit me hard. I’ve had phases where my mind felt like a battlefield, overrun with self-doubt and comparison. Reading Mishra’s words felt like someone handing me a lifebuoy mid-storm. There were lines I highlighted immediately, moments where I laughed at my own mental melodrama, and even tears quietly slipped as I reflected on the importance of setting boundaries and nurturing my own voice. That blend of honesty, warmth, and guidance is what sets this book apart.

If I were to pick strengths, I’d say: one, the relatability of the insights — they’re human, messy, and real; two, the clarity of actionable advice; three, the soothing rhythm of the prose that makes complex emotional work feel doable. Honestly, I struggled to find weaknesses. Maybe at times I wished for a few more examples of extreme-case scenarios, but that’s me being picky — the book’s gentle pacing is part of its charm.

I’ll be honest: this book felt personal, like it was written for me — and maybe for anyone else who’s tired of letting the world’s noise dictate their life. I’d recommend it to anyone who’s ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious — essentially, all of us at some point. If you’ve loved books on mindfulness or manifestation, think of this as a cozy, conversation-filled companion rather than a guidebook.

By the time I closed it, I felt lighter, calmer, and somehow braver. Shoo the Noises isn’t just a read — it’s an invitation: to pause, to listen, and to reclaim your focus in a world that thrives on distraction. I walked away thinking, “Yes, I can do this — and maybe, just maybe, I can finally start living the life I’ve been imagining.” I’d give it a heartfelt 4.5/5 and a gentle nudge to anyone ready to start shooing their own noises.

Book: Shoo The Noises
Author: Anamika Mishra
Genre: Self-help

The book is about how to overcome distractions and focus on your goals in life. Here, distractions are referred to as “noises,” which can be overcome by following the process described by the author in detail. Her writing makes readers feel loved and understood through her thoughts.

Her ideas are expressed with references to well-known personalities, and she explains “the noises” through her personal life experiences—things that many of us can relate to. While reading, I felt myself sinking deeper into her words, almost as if she were sitting beside me, motivating me through her writing. It is truly a wonderful and engaging book. I’m glad to see an Indian author writing such a meaningful book in the non-fiction genre.

Usually, when we think of non-fiction, we expect repetitive lines and ideas from already-known personalities. But this book is different. It is relatable across all age groups—children, adults, and even older readers.

The book also includes some thought-provoking lines, for example:
“Success is a state of mind that differs from person to person. What constitutes success for you may mean nothing to someone else.”

Her writing guided me deeply with simple thoughts in simple English, helping me to broaden my perspective. To other readers, I would say—you can start reading from anywhere in the book and still connect with it. The cover, too, is very attractive, and I was truly excited when I opened the package. It is one of the most meaningful covers I have seen for a book in this genre so far.

It’s not about copying others, but about discovering and manifesting your unique path. Initially skeptical of its Bookstagram fame, I was pleasantly surprised by how insightful and motivating it turned out to be. Shoo the Noises is more than a trend—it’s a much-needed reminder to live with intention. A must-read for anyone craving focus and fulfillment.

[Asma · Rating 5 out of 5]

Shoo the Noises by Anamika Mishra is more than a self-help book—it’s a soulful guide for anyone feeling lost in the constant buzz of modern life. From the first page, there’s a sense of calm clarity that cuts through the clutter and speaks directly to the heart.

The author doesn’t overwhelm you with jargon or empty motivation. Instead, she offers grounded tools—blending mindfulness, intention-setting, and daily rituals—that gently shift your mindset. The writing feels deeply personal, as though a wise friend is sitting beside you, reminding you to breathe, realign, and trust your journey.

What makes this book special is how naturally it bridges the gap between practicality and spirituality. Whether you’re stuck in self-doubt or struggling to stay focused in a noisy world, this book lights the way back to your center.

It’s not just a book you read—it’s one you return to, whenever life gets too loud.

Book Review: Shoo the Noises by Anamika Mishra

This book is like a gentle reminder we all need sometimes. If your mind feels crowded with thoughts, overthinking, or self-doubt, Shoo the Noises really speaks to that. Anamika Mishra explains it so simply—she calls all those mental distractions “noises.”

What I liked the most is how she doesn’t just talk about the problem but gives small, practical ways to deal with it. It’s not about completely getting rid of those thoughts, but learning how to manage them and not let them take over.

Reading this book felt like talking to someone who truly understands. It made me pause, reflect, and even get a little emotional. I smiled, teared up, and finished it feeling a lot lighter.

If your mind has been too loud lately, this book might be just what you need. It’s calming, honest, and a sweet push toward a more peaceful headspace. Thank you, Anamika Mishra , for writing this.

[Vanshi ♡ · Rating 4 out of 5]

Shoo the Noises is a gentle but honest nudge to tune out the chaos — not just around us, but inside our heads. Anamika Mishra writes in a way that feels personal and conversational, like a friend reminding you to breathe, reflect, and come back to yourself.

The book focuses on emotional wellness, overthinking, healing from mental clutter, and setting boundaries. It’s not preachy — the tone is relatable, often drawing from personal experience and small, grounded truths. You won’t find overcomplicated theories or deep psychology here, but rather simple reflections and reminders that help you pause.

What makes it work is that it doesn’t pretend to have all the answers — it encourages you to slow down and look for your own.

[Aastha Goel · Rating 5 out of 5]

This non-fiction book helps you focus on yourself by bringing your attention back to yourself and shutting out the noises that make you doubt yourself.

The book also talks about how noise is not just sounds but it can be anything that distracts us from our goals and keeps us from being our best selves, for example our comfort zone is our biggest noise.

You can emerge as a new person – a better person – through the insights into achieving your dream life and the wisdom the author has imparted in this book.

The language used is simple and beginner friendly.

The cover and title of the book are excellent.

Overall it is a good and useful book.
