I received this book as a gift from a friend, and I wasn't sure what to expect based off the cover. The aesthetics seemed almost like a children's book at first and I was skeptical, but I quickly began to fall in love with them, and to deeply appreciate its content.

This book is perfect if you take it for what it is: a very sweet, relaxing book, with lovely quotes and pieces of wisdom inside. It's not the encyclopedia of relaxation or the ultimate philosophical take on relaxation. However, it's a gentle read, not too dense, and mixes spirituality, wellness and calming designs very well. Definitely the type of book to read slowly and savour. I think it's a "take what feels right and leave the rest" type of book. One where you want to delve back into it here and there, finding the applicable sections in the moments when they are needed.
