This book found me at a moment when I needed permission to want more without apologizing for it. Pagano writes like someone who's been in the trenches, not just theorizing from the sidelines. The science behind mindset shifts is there, but it never feels clinical. What stayed with me most was how she frames fear as proof you're moving toward something that matters.
I finished it weeks ago and still think about the chapter on imperfect action. There's something freeing about reading words that don't demand you have it all figured out first. Author’s stories feel lived-in, the kind that make you nod because you've been there too. It's not a loud book, but it left marks in the quiet places where I needed them most.
I went into The More Mindset expecting something helpful. I didn’t expect to feel this seen. Some books motivate you. Some inform you. This one kind of sits with you for a while… and makes you pause. Rethink things. Question the stories you’ve been telling yourself. It gently unpacks how fear and self doubt quietly shape our choices… how they keep us small… how they convince us to wait until we feel ready. And then it slowly, patiently shows you another way forward. What stayed with me most was the honesty. The messiness. The vulnerability. Nothing about this felt curated or performative. It felt real. Like someone saying, “This is hard… and you’re not broken for feeling that way.” It reminded me that growth doesn’t come from having it all figured out. It comes from willingness. From showing up anyway. From taking imperfect steps when every instinct tells you to wait. I found myself stopping a lot while reading… thinking… feeling… sitting with certain lines longer than I expected. If you’re in a season of doubt… or exhaustion… or quiet longing for more… this book doesn’t push. It meets you there. And somehow makes the next step feel a little less scary.
Some books inform you. Some inspire you. And then there are the rare ones that boldly wake you up. The More Mindset did exactly that for me.
I picked it up at a moment when I didn’t even realize how much I had been shrinking my own life—playing small in ways that felt responsible, practical, even “safe.” Page after page, this book helped me see where I was holding back, and more importantly, why.
What struck me most was how grounded and usable the ideas are. This isn’t motivation that fades by Monday morning. The tools are clear, empowering, and easy to implement immediately. As I read, things began to shift—not just in how I think, but in how I show up, make decisions, and trust myself again.
There’s something powerful about being reminded that the quiet feeling of being “called to more” isn’t a flaw or fantasy—it’s wisdom. This book helped me listen to that voice with courage instead of fear.
If you’re at a crossroads, feeling restless, or sensing that there’s more available to you, then you need to read this book! You won't be able to put it down once you begin.
What an amazing book. I truly feel inspired and transformed. This is the book I’ve been searching for all my life. Literally a road map to success and happiness in life. I highly recommend not just to read for yourself but to gift it to others you care about. Great for any family member, friend or a sales team to get them on the right track! A real gem and glad I finally found it. Thanks Diana for writing this book with authenticity and great knowledge. It means a lot to me, as it helped me find my purpose in life and get me on the right track!
5 🌟 for subject matter 3.75 🌟 overall I enjoyed the material but wish the author had not used the few curse words that were in the book. Due to that I will not recommend this book to my Christian friends.
