The most blissful book I’ve read in a long time. A beautiful aesthetic and easy to read format but above all the perfect tonic for this time while locked up in isolation. A calm amidst the storm ✨✨

A beautiful little book, easy to read and structured nicely, descriptions followed with benefits, and closing each chapter with tips on how to cultivate the self care ritual.

After reading the book, I'll keep it next to my bedside table, if ever I feel like I need a boost, or my routines are slipping, a nice go to/ reference book.

I loved this little book and was sad when I had finished it. I indeed found it restorative and looked forward to reading one of the 20 chapters at the end doc each day.

This is a small, beautifully written book that will gently remind you how to live your best restorative life. I now look forward to seeking out the other Essentialist books.

I read this small book at the moment I very much needed to remember and be grounded with the words in the pages.

A few of those words included:


Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more.

-

Are my current thoughts and actions serving my life's true purpose?

-

Give yourself time.

-

...give life's processes and projects time to fully develop.

-

Many of life's miracles do not happen quickly.

-

Thank you for reminding me forgiveness (for myself and others) helps me to be more productive, as does having boundaries (again with myself and others).

The reminder about choices that support, and choices that deteriorate -the timing couldn't have been more timely.

Be in charge of your choices.

This has some very basic tips and ideas to get you started on restoring your energy. I would say that this is a good gentle reminder for all of us to do better with certain areas of our life as well as being kind to ourselves as we strive for those areas. I got a few good tips or ways to go about keeping my good energy. I feel very clean and refreshed in both my body and mind after reading. Very hopeful about living life in your best most authentic self.

I really enjoyed this little book. It made me think of ways I can make my life better, more fulfilled and even easier. It is a book that will make you think of yourself while still being able to think of others. I recommend this to anyone and everyone.

I did all of the suggested rituals and found this book to be extremely relaxing and full of wisdom! I’ve recently lost 70 pounds and plan to keep doing many of these activities. Yoga is at the top of my list.

Easy to read, beautifully laid out. Borrowed this from the library but I will buy a copy so I can refer to it as I need to

3.5 stars. Some helpful takeaways but maybe too rigorous for me to follow in its entirety. Worth a read!l though!
