This book is incredible. Unlike other self-help books, which tend to push the narrative of "positive vibes only", Dr Julie shares tips, tricks, and tools she has used both with herself and her own clients who sought therapy. A lot of these tricks are simple things that you can implement into your life - for example, whilst reading this book I started a gratitude journal that I fill in every day. The book is split into sections, with each section being dedicated to a certain topic such as stress, grief or anxiety, this allows readers to quickly and easily find the place they need to look for the tips they are seeking. Julie writes in such a down-to-earth way that it almost feels like you're talking to a close friend whilst reading. This, personally, is really helpful, as making the content more personal makes it easier to take in and implement into your own life instead of sounding incredibly formal and just dumping psychological data onto the reader (no matter how interesting that might be LOL!)
I found Dr Julie through Snapchat, and I ended up following her on Instagram and TikTok as well, she posts short, bite-sized pieces of mental health content that include a lot of information in sixty seconds. Of course, you can't put ALL the information into a sixty second clip, so seeing Julie be able to expand on topics she's covered before is incredibly interesting.
Again, this book is a brilliant read, and I think I will be returning to it quite regularly.

I saw someone saying “somebody has told me this before”
And I couldn’t agree more.
If you’re just starting with self help or starting to explore this whole realm of “wth am I feeling”, this is an okay book.
But I didn’t need to hear “money won’t make you happy, but meaningful life will”
I already know that one, and I’m glad I do.

The second half was definitely more insightful to me than the first, generally the book confirmed a lot of hypothesis I had myself and presented them in a great concise and understandable way. Probs THE self help book you should read on psychology and mental health before any other.

I read this via audiobook and I am now planning on buying a physical copy so I can refer to it as needed. She mentions figures and PDFs in the audiobook so I think it would be helpful to look at those in reference to certain scenarios. Otherwise, this book had really great advice and simple terms. Some of it I didn’t wanna hear, but that probably means it’s something I NEED to hear, right? I specifically appreciated the sections on grief.
