This book is in no way revolutionary. Most of the advice I've heard elsewhere before. However, the act of reading it is relaxing and calming in itself. The design of the pages is beautiful and encourages the reader to slow down and meditate on the words.

Very helpful and relaxing..went through it like a breeze. Just what I need to get myself back to reading.

Oh, wow. This book was so good.

When I picked this book up, I had no idea that it was later out with mostly pictures. I thought it would be chunks of text like the other mindfulness books that I have read.

This has such helpful advice and actually useful tips on how to quieten your mind. I’m recommending this to anyone who tells me they feel stressed because it also has such good advice about putting things into perspective.

I’ll regularly be referring back to this book!

Đây là một quyển sách có thiết kế và minh họa cực kỳ đẹp. Không xét về nội dung, hình thức trình bày đã là một điểm cộng tuyệt vời cho tựa đề "BÌNH YÊN giữa đời đảo điên", bởi ngay khi lật giở những trang sách, tâm trí của người đọc đã được calm down rồi.

Tuy nhiên xét về nội dung của quyển sách, tôi lại cảm thấy thất vọng. Ngoại trừ một số câu quotes tương đối "chất", các đoạn diễn giải thêm của chính tác giả lại cứ mông lung và sáo rỗng thế nào, nhất là ở 2/3 tác phẩm sau tập trung vào giải quyết các vấn đề cảm xúc và tâm trí. Thêm nữa, tôi lại cảm giác người dịch không chắc tay, dẫn đến câu cú trong sách kém mượt mà.

Nhìn chung, tôi cảm thấy có hơi tiếc cho quyển này, và cũng có khả năng là cho cả bộ Triết lý sống thế hệ Z. Tôi vẫn sẽ đọc thử thêm một vài quyển trong seri này vì vẫn ấn tượng với phần minh họa sách, hy vọng những quyển kế tiếp sẽ không gây nhiều thất vọng.

This may not be 'revolutionary' but I don't think it needs to be. A lot in here may be deemed common sense but I think it's easy to lose sight of that when your mind is running at one hundred miles per minute. I have definitely taken a few tips from this book and will lend this on to everyone I know who needs to hear the messages in this book. Even if you don't take away anything new I think the act of reading this book and beholding the artwork is meditative within itself.

One I will definitely be keeping on the night stand.

An aesthetically pleasing book, full of relatable quotes from an array of personalities.
I would have likely enjoyed this prior to parenthood, in my twenties.

As a father (and carer to a disabled child), this book doesn’t work for me personally.
If you have the time to be creative with these suggestions, then this might be the book for you.

Can’t fault the layout and design though. Its a work of art.
Quite short for non-fiction, which worked well for me.

[Roma · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book was helpful in some ways, sometimes it gave a new viewpoint or ideas that i’d never thought of and that i’d be happy to try, but a majority was kind of just standard advice that you could’ve googled. I probably wouldn’t read the whole thing again but I bookmarked a few pages I think would be really helpful to flip back to once in a while.

Quick, easy and engaging. Didn’t really learn anything I didn’t already know but loved the inspirational visuals. One to dip in and out of when you need to wind down.

[Lindsey Cant · Rating 5 out of 5]

Perfect, quick little notes to help you find calm. You don't need lots of time to read this, you can just look at page by page. Its a great reminder of how to find your calm.

[Laura LlamaDragon · Rating 2 out of 5]

Somehow a book was created out of nothing more than a short sentence per page, much of which may be helpful but often seemed like common sense or easily available through a google search resulting in dozens of results of lists of the same information. While it seems helpful at the time of reading it is instantly forgettable.
