Would not recommend

There was nothing new or original or creative. There are so many better books out there on this subject that are well researched, with authors who have more experience. This felt like a personal journal rather than a book that should have been published. Disappointed that I didn’t learn anything new whatsoever.

Pithy advice/Wives Tales

Though this advice may benefit some people, many thoughts are not advisable. The most important thing I can tell people who listen to this book is please; please don’t jump into the ocean with open wounds. Yes, saline water can heal, but the ocean is not a sanitary environment. The author’s mother’s experience and advice should be updated to include modern medical practices. Advising people with open wounds to swim in any ocean is simply a terrible idea. This wasn’t fact checked and contains untrue statements and information perceived as fact. Any medical professional (or even someone like me with knowledge of First Aid) is aware that bug bites are wounds that are best treated by modern medicine. Wounds of any variety can become infected or have problems from microorganisms and bacteria found in unfiltered ocean water.

Briana is a bright star with incredible talent

It's incredible how such a young woman developed knowledge and wisdom through her experiences in life. i admire her thoughts way of thinking. Briana's books are a jewel!

not bad!

got for free with audible subscription. plus title. not sure I would pay for it but some good stuff in here

very enlightening.

I enjoyed listening and was awaken to many different thoughts. I will be listening again and again. I would encourage everyone to listen and listen with an open mind and heart. There are many things I would love to share with the younger members of my family.

The title may be a bit too confident…

I can’t remember why this book was added to my library. Nonetheless, I was excited to listen. It wasn’t unpleasant, but it proved to not really be for me. I think the substance caters most effectively to a specific type audience. It feels like the author’s stream of consciousness, jumping from one idea to the next. There were some interesting perspectives and thought provoking points, but the majority was just obvious/rational conclusions or ideas, things that, if you are interested in these kinds of books and topics, you have likely already heard. Topics were more often than not explained or described in a grandiose terms. So, if you tend to or prefer to relate/experience/understand things on a more personal, relatable level, this may not be the book for you. The most enjoyable chapters for me were when the author related lessons or revelations from her own life. However, some of these had rather narcissistic overtones.
Again, not an unpleasant experience, it just didn’t strike a chord with me.

Very enjoyable

Truths that we need to interiorize and live by. I fully recommend short and sweet

not bad.

it was a good pick me up if it is written for someone who is currently so down that they can't see the way up. in other words, a lot of it seemed to be common sense. I understand the argument would be made that what is common sense to one group is new information to another, but I still think that this book could be summed up as "this too shall pass". if you heard that growing up and understood, you don't need to listen to this whole book. if you've never heard that saying before, this book might just blow your mind.

Good book

I love this book! Taught me a lot of things that I should have been aware of
