Self indulgent and bad voice speed

Revisado: 02-12-25

The content of the book was forcing inspiration and generally hit me as very self indulgent and an attempt to give more wisdom than she can. Her voice is ok but the speed is so incredibly slow and delivery is painful. Even at 2x speed I didn’t enjoy. I only finished this because a dear friend wanted me to read it to discuss with her. Otherwise I would have stopped a few chapters in and returned it to audible. Would not recommend.

Predictable but still enjoyable

Revisado: 12-01-24

This novel is predictable and a bit cheesy but still beautiful woven work of fiction that I enjoyed watching unfold.

Beautifully written comedy about mental health

Lovely comedy about mental health- well executed as an audiobook. Read by Maria is is a funny, curious, lovely companion for any time you might need it.

Buy the book not audiobook

Revisado: 04-04-21

This book is likely eye opening for many people. The audiobook, however, was one of the worst designed audiobooks I’ve read. The book contains snippets, essays, interviews. The audiobook is read by one solo voice regardless of the interview etc. It really ruined the whole thing for me. Harder to follow. Flat affect. I really wanted to like this book but I think that would probably be best served with a physical copy and not audio.

Soul fulfilling

Revisado: 08-20-20

If your heart hurts and you need fur, some softness, a subtle collection of deep shallow short things. This is for you. Something you May have to listen to twice to get fully.

Great performance, ok story

Revisado: 02-25-19

Lots of repetition, story that meanders, but good performance. Plenty good for listening to while running

Great book! Be warned- serious content!

Revisado: 11-08-16

Wonderful book with some amazing messages. Has some very funny parts, but the overall tone is quite serious. Not to be started light heartedly!

Love this practical, applied (yet still inspiring) read!

Revisado: 10-13-16

There are a lot of ways to get information about what you should do next-- I would recommend reading this book.

Each chapter is full of practical, applied activities to help you explore who you are, what brings you meaning, and build what you want for your next step. At risk of being boring or formulaic (aka: like many other self help books aimed at this audience), this book remains inspiring and supportive. It brings hope without impulsivity, ubiquitous advice while remaining individualized. It is truly a remarkable book.

In addition, listening to the audiobook provides an additional closeness/support from the book that might be missed in text. As a remarkable speaker, Smiley does not disappoint in his reading of the book. My only advice would be to print off or look at the extra materials on his website as you go along so you can do the activities.

This book started making a difference in my life the minute I ordered it. It is a reminder that you don't always have to get exactly where you're going (or even know where that is) you just have to take a step in the right direction.

Recommending it to oodles and oodles of millenials and beyond!

Helpful, structured book

Revisado: 10-04-16

A great book filled with useful advice for productively making yourself happier. Overall a great read, although the passages she read from blog responders were hard to follow on audiobook. Might be one of those books you want a hard copy of to take notes and return to! Excited to continue taking small steps to be happier!

Great book; OK reader

Revisado: 03-15-16

This is a great book to help you navigate your relationships (open or otherwise). Lots of practical examples and helpful information to think through. The readers voice is a bit challenging to listen through the whole book, but I think that is to maintain clarity and refrain from any judgement inflection. OK on 1.25-2x speed.
