Rating: ★★★★★
I received a copy of this book for free from the publisher (Chronicle Books) for promotional purposes.
What a gem of a book!
I am personally not a fan of positive affirmations. They’re just not my thing and I find them overly optimistic. Disappointing affirmations are more up my alley so I ended up loving this book.
The book starts with a short intro that gives some background into how the book came about. Knowing how/why the book was written made me appreciate it even more.
The affirmations were all so hilarious and spot on. Some of my favorites were:
- “It’s not imposter syndrome. You really do suck at everything.”
- “Stop overthinking. You are the only one who cares.”
- “Take a moment to be grateful for all that you have. Okay, now back to wishing everything was different.”
- “My entire vibe is I don’t want to.”
The background photos are also gorgeous and were taken by the author. I loved the juxtaposition of the serene pictures with the disappointing affirmations.
This book would make a great gift, but do keep in mind there is some foul language.
Lastly, the book jacket turns into a poster that says, “Have a panic attack. You’ve earned it.” I thought that was a fun and creative touch.
Overall, this was an entertaining and relatable read!
