There was a lot of promotional material in this book, but the core message had valuable reminders. It's true that we often give up rather than taking baby steps knowing that we can figure things out eventually.

Informative and accessible - the author's tone was well-suited to this type of book; he was clearly an authority, but he also intentionally cultivated approachability. The habits described were clear and easy to understand. There were a lot of good reminders about being open-minded and humble.

Some good information, including powerful questions/worksheets to use to make your life list, but really slow pacing and definitely outdated examples. The tone is often overly confident that They are the Source of the Perfect Answers for your life, which got grating.

A good self-help book with helpful mantras to consider. I had heard many of her examples before since she uses them often in her free coaching classes, but the repetition isn't necessarily a bad thing. It would've been nice to have a little more data.

This is a cool exploration of an AZ girl having a day in NYC where possibilities feel endless even though it's just one day - the setting is done so well, and Sara's reactions usually feel realistic. It's easy to get into with Mangum's accessible writing style. This is a story where I think we would benefit from an epilogue, though, even if it was cheesy - I wanted more of their story developed. I also wanted a little more substance for side characters, especially Sara's dad.

This was a good read with some nice reflection questions after each chapter to help the content feel applicable. I felt like I would've wanted more specific or deeper examples.

Very relatable and validating without necessarily bringing any super new ideas - except the "book twin" thing, which I hated. Overall a quick, pleasant read. Excited to try a few of the books she mentioned.

I really liked the beginning with the messenger; it was gripping. This was a good read overall. I still feel like Ciri is always a pawn/character to be described rather than having her own personality. 

I inhale this book in one sitting every time I read it; the best parts are always how well the Austen references are integrated, but I ultimately find it a little bit of a stretch with lots of conveniences. Also there's no reason for the rival girl to be so one-note. Still it's a fun light read. The little girl character is done pretty well, too.

I loved this author's books as a kid so I have a nostalgic attachment to the distinctly detached narrative voice. In my reread, I was disappointed in the fixed nature of the secondary characters. I wanted more depth to almost every interaction. The concept was still interesting.
