I can't say that the book was worth buying or reading for that matter. I love self help books but after having read many over the years, I like to think I'm a bit of a connoisseur and know a good self help book from a not so good self help book. The author did a lot of research but honestly, a lot of the information she gives you, you can find on the internet. For example, the number of hours you should sleep, the importance of eating healthy compared to eating unhealthy, dealing with stress, why socializing is good for you, how much to exercise, just to name a few. I can't say that the title, How to Cultivate a Good Life is answered in the book. Would I recommend it? No. Like I said, there are so many self help books, a lot of them repeat the same concepts and even the same research. Save yourself the money and don't bother. I didn't hate it but I wouldn't recommend it either.

Loved this book - very timely and practical. I really enjoyed reading this book. I found it easy to read, practical and relatable around the modern-day challenges of mental health. I'd highly recommend people invest the time in reading it and reflecting on what they can do differently to help themselves and others.

A book full of kindness and compassion, that will give you a lot of food for thought!

Good all-rounder if you need a starting point for why we should practice mindfulness, sleep well, eat healthily and manage stress. Complete with stories, stats and citations and some stark reminders of what happens if we continue to abuse our poor bodies and brains.
