Too much humblebrag.
September 29, 2014
This book was good but not great for me. A lot of great advice but then towards the end he kind of lost me because it was a lot about his girlfriend and it kind of carried on longer then it should have. It was more of his personal story but what he wanted you to learn from it.. I did take a lot of notes I just don't know if at the end I felt inspired. I was more inspired in the beginning to the middle and then the end seemed like s lot about himself and his feelings.

The Daily Love was an enjoyable read. I was expecting it to be more of a “how to” type book, but was surprised to find out it was more of a personal account of the author, Mastin Kipp’s, story, and how he came to create The Daily Love. There was a lot of encouraging information within this story, although, it was nothing I hadn’t read before in other more enlightening books I’ve read.
Overall, this was a good read, but nothing spectacular.

Mostly memoir, little prescription on how to have a more meaningful and fulfilling life. I can imagine that Kipp must be much, much better to hear in person than he is to read. I found his writing voice painful, but evidently, many people like it because he has made his new-found fortune from blogging. But, one person's meat is another man's poison. His overall message is decent.

Disappointing. I was left feeling that he's trying to teach lessons that he hasn't truly learned yet, there was no real wisdom here. I'm also getting fed up with the whole second generation "guru" industry sending the message that persuading people to buy into their online coaching programs equates to "service" - no. I'd second the reviewer who described it as "humblebrag," by the end I was annoyed with myself for wasting my time on it.

Quick easy read. Nice memoir about Mastin's evolution, reaching for enlightenment, and appreciation for deeper, meaningful life. He really caught me in mentioning my hero's - Caroline Myss and Joseph Campbell.

I appreciate the depth of vulnerability Mastin goes to in sharing his story. His true concern and compassion for his readers is evident. Parts of this were quite inspirational, so it definitely succeeds as a self-help text. That said, the writing/word snob in me comes out, and I find his writing style, at times, grating. He writes very conversationally, with the same lack of editing that spontaneous speech has. That is, lots of italics and superfluous words. As a reader, I have a lot more respect for "tighter" writing. Overall, I found it worthwhile and think it will accomplish its mission of spreading his message and inspiring a few, probably those who are already subscribers of TDL.

I don't follow @MadtinKipp on twitter. I got the book as part of the welcome pack at a Hay House event in London. It is too full of name drops. He does say some thoughtful things but the book didn't ring deep or true to me. I don't deny him his journey or coming clean of his addiction; an achievement. But the book lacked insight and really deep thinking. There are a lot of self-help and spirtual books. We all respond to people differently. But I don't think this one is a best seller in the making

Good to read if you want to hear about his story, but it isn't the kind of book to read if your hoping to really learn something or gain some deeper insight. He references books and people who have helped him on his journey a lot and references their work (like Caroline Myss-- a lot). This just kind of like a "this was my journey, these are all the celebrities I worked with, and these are the lessons I learned" basically. It falls flat to me.

I really enjoyed this novel, but then as an avid follower of Mastin Kipp I suspected I would. He takes us through his own awakening and journey, and provides the reader with tips and tricks upon the way. I know his return to religion is part of his journey, but as an agnostic this was the only part that I felt uncomfortable with. I understand the premise, and I thought Mastin explained the 'Jesus Consciousness' well, but I felt from that point on, the message for those on their own journey had become religious based. However, it didn't put me off considering Mastin Kipp a huge inspiration and mentor on my own journey.

As a current student of Mastin's, I loved this read. He's inspired me so much, and is so genuinely engaged in helping others find their purpose, power, and success. Highly recommend this read, and any opportunities to work with him!

While many have said this is more like a memoir, I think it is more self helped mixed with a memoir.
Lots of great tips and practices to find the you you want to be and the trials and tribulations you may face. Success is not a straight line even though we often wish it was.

Honest and insightful!
I am longtime spiritual seeker and avid reader of New Thought books. I have greatly benefited from reading this book. Mastin's perspective on fear and uncertainty is enlightening. I wholeheartedly recommend this book.

More of a memoir...

This was a good read. It had some interesting stories and tidbits of information.

I'm currently reading his Claim Your Power book and wanted to get a better understanding of how he got from there to here. I enjoyed his journey, thought he was funny, vulnerable and inspiring.

This book might be helpful for someone who is brand new in a spiritual journey but I didn’t not find his personal story helpful. He proposes theological tenets that are of his own making.

Mastin Kipp was brought into my life about a year ago, when my cousin and I first discovered we were on a similar spiritual path. How on earth I had a gone so long without hearing of him and “The Daily Love” is beyond me! “Check him out” he said “ You’ll like him, he spreads love to everyone daily”. Sign me up!
Fast-forward a year, or I guess you could say 365 days of getting love, and what do you find? You find a supporter who was super eager to read his book. The moment Hay House cast out the line of opportunity to read it for review, you can guarantee I took the bait!
Mastin Kipp
For those of you not familiar with The Daily Love, I highly recommend you check it! It provides you with daily inspiration of light and love through quotes, videos, and other outlets. Mastin Kipp, the creator has a dynamic personal story and is not afraid to invite you into each and every depth of it.
As a former drug and relationship addict, he found his life falling apart. His dream career in the music industry was swept out right under his feet after his addiction and life style choices started to get the best of him. This story outlines his journey from Hollywood, his stops in between and then finally to @thedailylove.
So often I find myself diving into researching the lives of my role models, for example Gabby Bernstein, Deepak Chopra, Alan Cohen, Kris Carr, to find out what inspired them, what steps they took to get where they are today. Growing into Grace is exactly that, which is what I loved about this book.
Mastin takes the time to introduce to us each of the key players, concepts and moments that shaped who he is today. Many of which were things that really resonated with me and can be seen quoted and outlined in my own personal journal. Some of them include:
The chakras: The “butt chakra” and how it is connected to your tribe.
“What would I do if I didn’t need the approval of the music business?” Can’t we all relate to this? What would we do if we didn’t need the approval of the people and things around us… A great thought to ponder.
“The quality of life is the quality of your relationship to uncertainty.”- Tony Robbins
“Once we accept our humanness, the soul naturally shines through.”-Mastin Kipp
While I really enjoyed learning about his journey, I did find myself having difficulty in completing the book after I was about 80% through due to a lot of repetition.
Overall, I found Mastin’s book to be helpful and a potentially great guide to those beginning their spiritual path, and those who are rebuilding their lives. Mastin is a great mentor and one I hope more men and women become familiar with.

Mastin Kipp’s book Daily Love: Growing Into Grace (published September 9, 2014) is an offshoot of his The Daily Love Twitter feed and YouTube videos (since 2014, Kipp has re-branded under his name). The book is part memoir, part self-help book, and details Kipp’s life as he moved toward a recognition of Divine Grace (he calls this the journey “from crisis to Grace”).
Kipp, a Kansas native, moved to Los Angeles with the hope of pursuing a music management career. He was successful, but his addictions to drugs, computers, food, and women led him to continually self-sabotage. He suffered a major breakdown, and, as he worked to overcome his addictions and rebuild his life, he started The Daily Love, a website, email list, and Twitter feed (and eventually YouTube videos) that provided inspirational material. The Daily Love, much to his surprise, continued to grow, and Kipp recounts the ups and downs he experienced. Eventually, Kipp formed relationships with many self-help luminaries, particularly Tony Robbins, and his work was featured on Oprah Winfrey’s Super Soul Sunday.
I was personally drawn to Kipp’s upbeat attitude and his realistic advice—he is very revelatory, almost to the point of giving the reader too much information. I respect his fearlessness in putting all of this out there, however, and how open he is about his personal failures. Kipp’s message is that we need to realize that we are perfect in God’s eyes, but that we are responsible for taking action, for being willing to screw up and start over, and to find grace where in the past we would have only seen disaster.

"I've come to recognize that I can't asana away my pain, I can't green juice away my resentments & I surely can't gluten-free away my heartbreak...no matter where I go, I bring my issues with me. It's not until we have the courage to truly feel our feelings - honestly & without self-judgement - that we begin to heal" - @MastinKipp. Like his Daily Love email, I found this book best absorbed in short doses to thoroughly process his musings. While I may not agree with 100% of his philosophy & teachings, his narrative is easy to relate to & comes with a lot of excellent reminders of much we already know but may need to keep hearing.

Mastin Kipp will blow you away. Whether you've been reading his The Daily Love for years, days, or never before, his book will simply blow you away.
It's basic premise is to tell the story of his complete and utter demise and growth into a fantastic and inspirational entrepreneur out to help the world. But hidden (or not so hidden) between the lines of his story are snippets and whole paragraphs of mind-blowing wisdom and honesty, you will want to ponder your own life and how you're living it for hours.
One of the most practical and down-to-earth self-help books you could possibly imagine, Growing into Grace is absolutely epic. x

To me, "Growing into Grace" is about a journey. A path taken by one man in his unknowing quest to find his purpose. Like its author, the path is relateable which makes it an easygoing read. At times emotional, at times sci-fi influenced, it speaks to its audience of Love. An eternal Love. And Mastin Kipp's knowing that he did not get to this place without help - the help of himself, help of others, help beyond this world. It tells of love and loss, beginnings and endings, mistakes and forgiveness. It is a book that I felt gratitude to have been given to read.

Grace is a powerful concept that takes time to take root in anyone's life, so multiple exposures is advisable. For me Mastin Kipp really bridged a few concepts, love and fear not being opposites, the concept of grace and Divine presence at work in daily life, and value of yoga and chakras. So good to see an author's spiritual development on pages of a hardcover text, and to see him transform his life from something really devastating to something so remarkable. What a gift! So inspired!

I enjoyed reading this book. I thought he did a good job of not overly fluffing up his rise to success and the attention he's received from some of the big celebrities. He is definitely in an enviable position in life, something not all of us can relate to. But I think there was some humbleness to his story, which I appreciated. I guess I mostly appreciated his humanity, his fallibility, his openness of his imperfections.

I've been following The Daily Love since 2009 when Jason Mraz mentioned it on his blog. Mastin's daily writing and messages really helped me through some rough times. This book is a reminder of the lessons that he teaches and how we can find our power within through our connection with the Divine. I am grateful that Mastin exists during this time to share his message. I appreciate his emphasis on taking action vs just spiritual entertainment.

Thanks Mastin for having the courage to share your journey with the world. Your vulnerability and courage has and shall continue to help many people while they struggle on parts of their path. Keep on shinning your light to help guide those souls back home.

I did not want this book to end. It's perfect for anyone who is being drawn into spirituality but is confused of what direction suits them. Mastins touches upon his (very common) resentment and bitterness towards religion from his youth. He has created a beautiful blend of philosophy, religion, & science resulting in raw truth.

I thought this was a great story of survival. I enjoyed the way the book was written and embraced what was being said. I listened! And now I will take action. This is a Christian based book, very spiritual and one that we can all learn from , if we are open to the teachings. I enjoyed it's positivity, uplifting messages, and call to action.
