purrfectly's review against another edition
2.5
The majority of advice here seemed to be common sense, easy to say but hard to put into practice; only couple of the tips felt like actual actionable items, and many of even the actionable items didn't have clear help on putting them into solid habits.

A beautifully designed, pocket-sized book with lots of great advice, however I think I might have preferred something that cited some scientific sources of why these methods work rather than simply offering platitudes and common sense. Some of these, such as 24. “Don’t let your failures define you,” 43. “Learn how to manage stress” (I thought that’s what this book was for?) or 82. “Become aware of the problems in your life” are easier said than done! Yes, I know I should get more sleep and eat less sugar, but how do I make myself, Dr. Leaf, HOW!!!!

3.5 stars. There are about 25 of the 101 ways that I think are stellar: some things I've learned in therapy, read in other books, or some completely new. A quick read, so worth it!
My favorite tip personally was the idea of "purposeful procrastination"---letting some things go and accepting incompleteness. The book continually stresses the connection between mental and physical health and that there is no "one button" to press, "one thing" you can do, or "quick fix" to be had, even about things like getting better sleep, which is a refreshing reminder.
