On a personal level this was about a 2.5 star read. I was hoping for more insights and revelations for myself because of the buzz I'd heard. However, I can see this being a 4 star book for those who find it at the right time in their journey.

Sometimes it's not too bad when someone states you the obvious. Although, there was also some interesting new information. Still, this book could have easily been about 150 pages shorter. Not sorry I read it, anyway.

Has encouraged me to have a clean out of my wardrobes and drawers! She had some really good ideas.

Should happiness be this complicated?

Couldn't read. Abandoned over a year ago, so I can't remember why, but my recollection was that she just seemed so shallow. Not enough eudaimonia.

for the self-help month, #bookclub4m I have complicated thoughts about this genre but generally I enjoyed reading this one.

Too many comments cut/paste from her blog comments but otherwise thought provoking.

A fun, light read if you're looking to change your ways! A great read as I prepared my own New Year's Resolutions.

Was a little hokey, I'm sure some of the lessons will work but not really sure it needed to be so long to convey such simple ideas.
