About the author

Hi, and welcome to my Goodreads page!

I love to write books about living a fabulous life without spending a lot of money.

I adore mindset work and how we get to be happier and more successful just from looking at things from a different angle. We get to change our circumstances if we want to, and change our thoughts as well.

My goal when I write my books is to provide inspiration, ideas, and reminders for my readers so that they can wear their rose-tinted sunglasses as they live their life. Just like I do!

I have found that everything works out better when you are positive as much as possible. When you expect things to work out for the best. When you have gratitude for all you have. And when you are always looking at how to make your life better, and richer (in all ways). In doing all these things you are elevating the happiness levels of those around you as well as yourself.

Of course life isn't perfect and we all go through sad or difficult times, however I believe when we are starting from a base level of positivity, it makes those times easier to bear.

I love the saying attributed to Queen Elizabeth II's private secretary, who told her that her job was to spread a carpet of happiness wherever she went. I have taken this on as my own life's motto and with my writing too.

I hope you enjoy reading my books and get loads of golden nuggets from them. Happy reading and please let me know your thoughts or leave a review!

This is the first book I have read from Fiona Ferris, it's a good book giving advice on how to lead a peaceful life. It offers some useful tips to put in to practice.

[Louise]

The Peaceful Life is the first book I have read by Fiona Ferris. Being a short read, I spaced it out over a few days. With this past year being mostly at home it was the perfect read for this period.

The chapters in the book are
The Serene Self
Harmonious at Home
Feminine Soul
Simple Ways to be More Feminine

Each of these chapters have subcategories within them.

If you are after a feel good read that offers tips without spending a fortune, this book is for you.

so very lovely

In a time of my life where everything seems to evoke sadness, this book lifted me up. It reminded me of all the access I have to so many simple joys. Reading before bed helped me have a better night’s sleep and started to wake up and seeing the good rather than the grief. I will read this book again and again.

[Sean]

Great book

I really enjoyed reading this book. Mostly I read it at bedtime. It made me feel really peaceful and gave me a lot of little ideas to better my day to day life!

[Stacey Hatfield]

I am going through a time where I am seeking peace. That is where I chose this book to read. Perhaps we all can use some peace. Fiona gives some very good ideas to follow. It has simple as clearing out clutter and eliminating things that do not serve you finding just the simple joys in everyday life.

We all could use some help in this area. So you need to make the time to read this book.

[Jennifer Rumack]

I just love Fiona's books. This is a slim one but I always find little nuggets of ideas that spark my interest. They are so simple.....I loved the playlists in this one as well as the idea of adding some soft color touches in my life. I am not a "pink" fan but she poses a convincing argument. Light and easy - Perfect for this holiday season.

[Lorena Zorrilla]

Finshed the book with a serenity and peaceful state of mind.

Practical and nice way of showing what my mother and grandmother should have teached me. Both flied to heaven too soon. Felt peaceful and greateful for all blessings in my life and have many ideas to keep serene in stressful moments. Thank you Fiona

[Robert P. Lee]

Adaptable ideas presented beautifully

This is precisely the book I needed to read at this stage of my life! I loved the author's delicate style of writing, and suggestions of ways to fit these ideas into ones' own lifestyle - because none of us are leading exactly the same life, are we?

[Jo Kneale]

Short, but inspiring. Live a more chic, more peaceful and happier life by aligning your lifestyle with your inner desires.

It's not rocket science, but it is a reminder of the little changes that you could make to your life to make it more beautiful, simpler and chic.

[Alison Sharma]

Uplifting

I have read a couple of Fiona's books and find them relaxing and uplifting to read. This one is probably my favourite (at the moment at least) - it is my 'go to' book before I go to sleep, especially after a hard or busy day.

[foxyreadz]

i really liked this book, for a person who goes under so much pressure, reading and implementing the tips it kind of gives me motivation to do small acts that can add value to my life
i enjoyed it and see myself reading it again

[kathy ogrady]

I think the book was too short, it’s seems to me I read it all before, nothing new!
Good reading for a young women who need to be taught how to be a proper female or stuff that used to be women's magazine articles !

[minnie stevenson]

Excellent

You are beautiful
I loved everything about your book
Your book is about everything I love, did,do .
It made me feel calm and excited to read more.
Most of all feminine . thank you.

[Virginia]

Lots of good ideas!

This is the first time I have read a book on cherishing our feminity. And at age 78, I can finally take the time to find the feminine within me! I loved this book and will use many of her suggestions!

[Elizabeth J]

A lovely book

This book really spoke to me in many ways - why I felt happier with some actions and possessions and why I felt gaps in my life and ways to help myself expand my life and attitudes. I will go back and happily read it again.

[Stephanie]

I really enjoy the simple books by Fiona Ferris (this one in particular was an audio book read by the author’s soothing voice). These are wonderful resources for myself and my coaching clients who are wanting to simplify, up-level, and/or create a more intentional life.

[Linda Stuckey]

I love to read books by Fiona Ferris. She is inspiring and her writing calms me. She gives practical and easy suggestions for one's life. I have several of her books and I always reread them.

[Melissa]

Simplify to find joy

Fiona always reminds us to find what brings us peace and joy. Advice on ways to let go of what doesn't.

[Joanne McCullagh]

Delightful

Fiona writes in a way that leaves the reader refreshed and a little richer in both mind, heart and spirit. Always a joy to read from cover to cover.

[Dreanna]

Pleasant and Enjoyable


I found this book to embrace peacefulness in everyday life. It was very pleasant and enjoyable to read. I will find myself reading this book again.

[Niani]

peaceful life

A nice reminder to try and stay clear physically and emotionally. I love how she mentions that some people feel off when seeing a messy home. That is so me.

[Nina Gomez]

Very basic

Didn't introduce much new information, a bit repetitive and self-centered...
Boring and basic, had to skip repetitive chapters about pink

[Linda Rose]

Life-changing book!

Fiona Ferris describes the life I have always wanted to live...it costs nothing and is so good for one's mental health! Highly recommend!

[Baroness]

Delightful. A total gem.

[Yuvathi]

I want more! I love books that make me feel calm. This book is like a conversation over a cup of coffee with a female friend. Love it.

[Jess Keast]

Too much feminine and pink (i hate pastels!) for me but still some nuggets in there, particularly in the first half.

[Eline]

Very relaxing read with lovely inspiration. Mission accomplished ✨

[Rachel]

Eureka, ho finito il mio primo libro del 2026 🥂

[Cait]

Just was not for me and couldn't get into it. DNF

[Kate]

This was a short, pleasant read. Somethings I just want to read something light, upbeat, and encouraging and this fits the bill.
