Utterly beautiful, deeply meaningful, and very relatable. It may not have any bombastic words, it may not be very the top, but it is THAT kind of book that could speaks to you, and keep you company at time of your need.
The illustrations are very minimalistic and the author includes a QR code to a soothing music you can listen to while reading this. I would highly encourage you to read it out aloud in a slow pace.
I am also acknowledging how anxious I get these few days for no concrete reason and reading this today, its definitely one of the help that Allah sent me. But, I am happy to be apart from this book because I'm gifting my only copy to a friend I love dearly, whose just hospitalised for the second time this year, battling lupus and also diagnosed with depression due to the illness. Being a teacher in rural area, far from her family (literally 12 hours by land), she needs it more than I do, and ASAP. I can preorder another copy for me to keep next time.
Whoever reads this, please send her your prayers too.
This is the kind of book that you’ll need for self care. Get this, and I guarantee that you’ll love it.
🔖Pro tip: read this along with a soothing, calm lofi playlist!
🌟Personal rating: 4.20/5
THOUGHTS:
•I love the illustrations! It’s super cute and aesthetic eventho it’s only black and white.
•This book helped me a lot to face a hard, bad day/situations. I read this on my bad day and I was immediately soothed by the quotes.
•Some of the quotes are quite repetitive. There’s also typos here and there but it’s tolerable for me. It should be proofread carefully before published. It would be a pleasurable experience for me to read if there’s no typos.
•I personally think that this book can be one of the tools for people to cultivate more self care and personal development👍
•I definitely recommend this book by @hijrahsoul to all of you!
•Will I reread it? Of course! Especially on a bad day.
Such a nice motivational book, minimalist design with cute animations. A perfect book for those who in deep dark world, might lead them to the lights, however for the price that i paid i would like this book would be more thicker than this. I also spot the repetition of the quotes from internet. A bit frustrated for me.
Saya kira ramai dah share pasal buku ni rasanya. Secara personal, saya tak follow pun penulis sebelum ni dan jumpa ig dia melalui ig kakjida. _ Self love, Terima kasih kerana menemukan saya dengan buku ni. Seronok baca buku ni. Boleh diibaratkan macam tepuk bahu sendiri dan bisik "it's okey". _ Setiap manusia ada struggle masing masing dan tak semua mampu diluahkan pada orang lain? _ Setiap manusia ada cara mereka deal dengan masalah. Dan ada manusia yang tak tahu, buntu macam mana nak keluar dari masalah mereka. _ Self love ni buku yang motivate kita untuk cari, sayang dan hargai diri kita sebelum orang lain. Percayakan diri sendiri untuk bangkit dan berjuang untuk diri sendiri dulu. _ Ramai manusia yang sayang orang lain, sampai dia lupa nak sayang diri sendiri yang mana pada akhirnya dia melukakan hatinya sendiri.
Gonna reread this book! I choose this book as my light reading because it gives positive vibes and motivates me with simple and meaningful contents. Its unique cover attracts me a lot and the illustration design is beautiful as well. This book is like a good friend which encourages the readers to love themselves. Arghhhhhhh love this book so much❤️
Those who want to start reading, I would recommend this book for you. Thank you author and keep it up! I am looking forward to read your new book in the future.
I can't help it but keep thinking about my friends whose having troubles and they will relate to this book more. It's like a warm hugs and huge comfort of words that you probably need to hear whenever you are feeling down. Simple choices of words, but maksud dia sampai. And I really like the idea of listening to the "sound on" code provided while reading this book. It makes the whole mood much more sentimental.
This book makes me feel more calm and so much good with such beautiful words that can give us motivation and positive vibes.
I would love to give 4 🌟 for this kind of book although there are some repetition words in it. But nevermind, the doodle and drawings illustrations have a good cover of it too.
Such a lovely and comforting book during my hard times. The recommended music soothed my mind whilst reading it. The real rate is 4.75🌟 (There are few grammatical and spelling errors. I tried to ignore them at first but still they distracted me a lot. It's okay I can understand as it is self-published book). Thank you for your hard work, dear author. Good job!👍
Ya Allah this book, comfort betul. i just love non-fiction book yang ginilah, sebaba lately ni banyak sangat fikir i just think i need to comfort my mental health. buku ni kinda membantu where content dia banyak pasal self acceptance. hargai diri sendiri sebelum masuk dalam life orang. miserablenya kalau sendiri tak prepare then tambah burden atas diri sendiri.
honestly with a good song and smell accompanying me the whole time, it was a beautiful read. i am on the verge of tears 🥺. I felt like someone is there to remind me about my self-growth, self-worth, self-love and i definitely will reread it, to always keep my mind straight and positive.
I ended up showing this book to my close friends, and everyone say how they need the words in it as reminders. Love all the positivity inside, thank you for this book! ❤️

Memulakan ayat dengan "I know that you are alone" - kita tahu tujuan buku 'cute and sweet' ini ditulis. Ia mampu menemankan kita, memujuk dan memberi harapan. Adalah penting untuk kita terus menyayangi dan percaya pada diri sendiri. Semua perasaan kita adalah valid, namun HJ cuba lebih menyakinkan kita, semuanya pasti akan jadi lebih baik.
