Thank you to Goodreads, Nikki Green, and the Green Chameleon Collective for the giveaway copy of this book.

I enjoyed the book. It had an interesting premise - that we should all be adaptable like chameleons instead of standing out and remaining black-and-white in things. I do feel the book wasn't as in-depth as it could have been. I also didn't like how there is an accompanying book of exercises and journal (sold separately, it seems). I did have the e-copy, so this may be my misinterpretation of the text and reading it as a separate book supplementing this one. I do think the exercises in the book will prove useful in my venture as a recovery coach as well as for my own growth. But I still feel a bit left alone by the substance of this text. It was a good read and thought-provoking in some way.

The book discusses a variety of self-help topics, like emotional intelligence, removing mental constraints, and dealing with difficult people, all with a focus on embracing change. Nikki covers these multiple topics by comparing the Chameleon Mindset versus that of a Zebra. She stresses that a Chameleon will change their colors not only to blend into their surroundings, but to stand out and attract a mate. In contrast, the Zebra always stands out, but never changes, always maintaining a ridged single mindset. It’s a great read for all, even if you are not in the midst of a dramatic life change.

I got this book in a Goodreads giveaway and appreciated the chance to read it. I love the idea of a chameleon mindset but I don’t think the author is as chameleon mindset as she wants everyone to believe. She definitely has a “zebra mindset” when talking about the pandemic for example. Both the author and I were in Illinois during 2020 and it sounds like we had very different mindsets on how things should have been handled.

I guess if you have never heard of this concept before then you might like it and learn something new but it’s pretty basic and doesn’t dive into anything particularly deep.

It was hard for me to keep reading because the information seemed way too basic and common sense to me. I can't speak for anyone else though. Putting a label on a recycled notion of flexibility doesn't really change anything. It's true that the more flexible we are, the better quality of life we have. Again, nothing new was added to my knowledge base or even reflections. Others may have a different experience.

This is the book we needed right now!

What I love about this book is that it is for any of us and all of us. It isn’t a book on how to succeed at work (it does offer that) but more how to succeed at life. For those of us who have been chameleons from a chaotic past, it puts those traits in a positive light and helps refine them as we grow. There are exercises, lists, definitions, stories, cultural references- something for all of us.

I received this ARC from a Goodreads giveaway.

This was a decent read. It was full of some good things to hear again; lessons that should be repeated until they sink in. The exercises here and there were nice and the resources were good, too. There probably wasn't much that was new if you've already been reading about productivity and mindset, but still a good read.
