Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the world? This book is a way to slow down and gain some perspective. It's almost spiritual in how it makes you think and reflect on your life and the world around you. I really enjoyed the book, although I did read it sporadically over a number of months. Best to buy a hard back version for your coffee table. This book is energising and motivating, highly recommended if you're ever feeling stuck or unmotivated.

This book is epic! I’m finding so many gems in there to help me grow and change. The book did arrive damaged though which was super disappointing but didn’t stop me from reading and annotating it!

This is not a book to read at once.
This is a book to keep in your bedside table, and read it whenever you can, one assay or two at the time and think.
Is a book for thinking, analysing your life, thoughts and do some retrospection.
I wanted to buy this book for years, but the bad reviews were holding me back, until a friend really recommend it to me.
Ignore the bad reviews, probably people with closed minds, or expecting something different.

Lots of great advice – but ends up being quite superficial with 4-page long chapters on average.
Reviewed in Australia on 2 December 2021
Verified Purchase
I'm not sure whether this book was a mistake, or one of the best books I've read. On the one hand, it does not have a main idea or contention that's backed up by several chapters of detailed discussion, and instead feels like a collection of short blog-posts regurgitating basic self-help advice (that I've mostly heard of) – which, in my opinion, does not constitute a proper book. However, I feel as though the author is nudging my life towards a positive direction each time I turn its pages, and that I tend to be happier and more mindful on the days where I read this book.

I suppose I've just listed the (perhaps obvious) pros and cons of a book titled with "101 Essays..." My main doubt is that this book, like many ordinary self-help books, have given me doses of spiritual highs without leaving considerable lasting impacts on my life. I guess I'll have to wait and see. Just after finishing though, my impression is that this book packs a large quantity of self-help advice, but perhaps wasn't enough overall for me to justify its price.

It’s a big claim, but it’s true!
Reviewed in Australia on 11 April 2024

Writing a book that claims to be able to change the way you think is a big call … but this book lives up to its title!

Brianna writes with great wisdom, clarity & brevity. She pulls no punches & each essay has a unique focus.

You’ll learn a lot about yourself, life, love, relationships, happiness, loss, pain, & suffering.

Highly recommended if you want to change the way you think for the better!
