- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Such a great read for making better choices & getting unstuck in those toxic & negative situations & thought patterns in life. Definitely recommend ?
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Rehashes other authors because she wants to make money off of the trendy habit-building movement -but worse, she uses this book as a platform to push her political beliefs. She states actual facts and then alongside them states political opinions as if they are also facts, covertly casting negative association to the other party. So terribly unprofessional to mix political hate into a self-help book, when people trust her credentials.
