Wonderful book ,each page helps ,as daughter suffers with anxiety gives advice and can write in book to keep daily records

Really enjoyed this book although it wasn't what I thought. It's Like a selection of essays, mostly about minimalism. Some were outstanding and a few I didn't connect with as much. It's very creative and inspiring... Includes a few short interviews with people with creative jobs. Quirky... Includes a few surprises! Regarding the reading the topics included are minimalism, mental health, journaling, slowing down, creativity, kindness and compassion, living small (small houses).

Just to fussy didn’t really like it , gave it too my daughter who will probably love it
