5.0 out of 5 stars Useful starting point
I enjoyed this book. It’s well laid out and easy to read. The writer covers enough topics to get you started and going on a mental heath journey. What I found most useful was her look at values. It did get me started on thinking about my own values and from what she explored I started to understand I did value the values of fairness and bravery. There’s also a great section regarding anxiety. I only went through anxiety mildly but going through and writing as encouraged questions asked in that section did help me explore some of my issues. I’m glad I got it and would recommend to have or gift. It’s lovely, useful and safe.
5.0 out of 5 stars This is a brilliant coaching mentoring guidance book.
I love this book from Dr Julie Smith as this book is enriched with lots of coaching mentoring guidance on how to face life challenges. I immediately purchased the hardback and audio version.I definitely will be rereading it again in slow time with my personal journal with colors pens, and practice, practice and more practice.It's all changing our mindset perception and our self-beliefs to becoming more confident and resilient as well.Overall a brilliantly written book and highly recommended. Best wishes Sean
5.0 out of 5 stars Practical, honest, instructional, easy to read
A good basis for understanding psychological terms, issues that we all face and how we function, how we can react and how we can challenge and change ourselves.
4.0 out of 5 stars Very good
The first thing we read about the author in this book (in the dust jacket literally after the book's title), is that Dr Julie Smith is "a social media superstar ... ". First things first; these are the signs of these times. Truth to be told, then the entry carries on introducing Dr Smith as a "trained psychologist" - there's still hope.A large online presence has brought Dr Smith remarkable fame. In her social media "bites" (as she likes to call them), short pieces of advice to cope better with everyday life uploaded to online platforms, Julie always looks relaxed, happy, often enthusiastic. She likes retorting to basic examples, using often pieces of fruit and biscuits to explain her theories; cups of grains of rice become large populations. Sometimes she jumps up and down on a chair to explain why is OK to be happy, or turns the screen into black and white to denote pessimism. These snippets have given Dr Smith followers by the millions. Too much? No, because she's good at what she does, which is explaining an intricate science (psychology) to the layperson. Even better, her advice is always practical, not abstract so the viewer will know how to put the advice to work. She reaches a large audience because she's thorough in what she does, but also simple - in the best sense of the word, she knows what's good for the spectator and how to reach him, she's indeed, and thankfully, no “celebrity” blabbing platitudes. She's an actual scientist, and it shows.At the beginning of her book (her first, surely not her last) Dr Smith explains that said book contains the further "details" of her mini-clips. She thought that there was something missing in those short clips, due to the format constraints, so here it is. Quite a fair point; this book is the elaboration beyond the "bites": what she's left behind for clarity and brevity. And, yet again, she's nailed it, because the book is a worthy piece of counsel and which can be enjoyed with or without the mini videoclips.Dr Smith gathers the right skills necessary to succeed in "popular science": she's knowledgeable, passionate and writes well; and also, she expresses herself very clearly - there's no jargon or unnecessary long words for show or to impress her audience. Furthermore, she's very warm, so much that the pages read like long letters writen by our favorite cousin. And so, with these foundations, the book starts and goes well, and then never drags, never fails; it never loses the reader's attention.Dr Smith goes for width rather than depth and this helps: the book feels well balanced. And at the same time, the author's honesty and cautiousness are ever-present: she explains (repeatedly) that the text is no magic formula for happiness, only a set of tools that, consistently applied, will help the reader. There're some examples along the pages, but Dr Smith never falls for the mistake (tediously common in popular science books) of retorting constantly to examples to fill whole chapters. She does not need that: she knows quite well her trade and is merely willing to share her knowledge and experiences with the reader. And yet again, in the clearest of ways, perhaps at some points treading dangerously (but never falling) for a too simplistic ground. Yet Dr Smith never crosses this line and she never addresses her readers from above, lecturing, much less patronizing her audience. There are many icons and arrows in the book, but the reader never feels treated lightly. On the contrary, the surface is plain, but the core of the book (the “tools”) is quite worthy.And what's wrong with the book? Not much, nothing important. Perhaps the reader could do with less graphics, drawings and charts. These take a good percentage of the total space, a bit too much. For instance, a simple box with three blank columns "Values - goals - day-to-day", a template for the reader to make his / her own charts, takes a whole page. Is that necessary?And related to the previous, this is one against the publisher. The book falls for a common failure: it has 352 pages in the first hardback edition and should have been 152. Not that the text should be shorter, but the spaces, the whole pages containing a title, the chapter divisions and the pages with one or two paragraphs in massive font are all unnecessary and mere distractions (and a sad waste of paper), and all just to make a longer book, perhaps thinking that this will make it more interesting or worthier. As if a volume would be better for merely being thicker. A big mistake, unfortunately quite common these days.But yet again, the book is very good and it could (and should) be only the first of a long and illustrious career. Dr Julie Smith has a lot to tell and she's happy to share it; that's very good news.
5.0 out of 5 stars Such a fabulous helping book

5.0 out of 5 stars Changes your life
I love this book. Author is remarkable, helps make sense of difficult days, thoughts and relationships through easy to read chapters which have affected everyday people. Buy this book! You won’t regret it
3.0 out of 5 stars Arrived Damage - AMAZING BOOK THOUGH
I got this book for a friend for her birthday - so I HAD to buy one for myself. I flicked through it and enjoyed it so much that I purchased one.Sadly it arrived all ripped and some pages folded over, if it was just a few pages I wouldn’t mind but it’s quite a bulk of the book. No fault in the book itself.Highly recommend this book if you’re looking for a new self help book!
5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant self help book
This is unlike any other self help book. It’s brilliantly written and is informative and gives practical achievable steps to allow you to start to help yourself . Would recommend to anyone with any degree of mental health struggles .
Very helpful, easy to read psych book
I have studied in college and read a lot of psychology books and this one is a new favorite. It’s information was easy to use and read, very compassionate, and well organized. I feel like this is one I will be gifting to those I love and care about, as it’s a really great resource and reminder for when things get tough. Highly recommend thank you! ❤️
Exelente libro
Excelente libro que acabo de terminar (me llevo exactamente dos meses leerlo). 100% recomendable.Muy buena herramienta para conocer mucho de lo que hay atrás de la forma en la que nos relacionamos con los demás, aprender a escuchar nuestro cuerpo, identificar el porqué de nuestras emociones y como manejarlas. Vale la pena aclarar que NO es un libro de pensamiento positivo. Además me permitió asociar muchas ideas y conceptos con principios bíblicos para mejorar nuestra salud mental, física y relacional.
AN ABSOLUTE MUST!! I LOVE this Book!!!
I regularly watch Dr Julie Smiths YouTube channel, for her 1min daily shorts of which I find extremely helpful. When I realized that she had also written a book, I HAD to purchase a copy that very same day. And I'm NOT disappointed!! I absolutely love this book, plus it's the type that can be re read 100×. It has quite a few very helpful yet simple diagrams as well. (Not the kind that turn your brain into spaghetti and make you want to run screaming into the hills). A lot of books in this category are, or can be difficult, or overwhelming to read. (Also turning ones brain into spaghetti and wanting to scream).Dr Julie's book practically reads itself.Don't mistake its simplicity for being powerless however. It's beyond fantastic and beautifully written!!! Genius is what it is.. As others have mentioned, a lot of it is foundational. That said, personally, I need reminding of the foundational things and so I really like this particular book for this reason too. My only error is that I accidentally purchased the hard copy rather than the soft cover. Aside from underlining, making notes etcetera, this is the type of book you'll want to bring with you in a purse, backpack, briefcase.. So the hard cover makes that difficult in my case at least. If you prefer hardcovers, you'll be very happy with it. The Four Agreements book set by Don Miguel Ruiz are my ABSOLUTE can not live without book set. To the point that over the past 20yrs or more, I always have one of the 4 in my purse. They never get old. As life changes, of course so do we. To find a book(s) that not only can stand the test of time, but also never fail to be applicable meeting you where you are at, throughout ones lifetime, is a very rare thing indeed. Why Haven't I Heard This Before, is one of these oh so very rare books too. I'll most definitely be purchasing the soft cover so that I can have it on me at all times as well. After spending many years reading and spending I don't even want to think about how much money on Self Help books, between the 4 book set by Ruiz, and this one, they are truly the only books you'll ever need!! I also own The Body Keeps Score, among many other well-known / popular ones, newer and older. I NEVER reach for any of them, or even think that maybe I should, after purchasing and reading this one 3 times heading towards my 4th, as well as my Four Agreements set.1000 🌟 stars in my book reading experience for this category, and HIGHLY recommend for anyone new or experienced, with doing important self help, self care, understanding trauma, and or generally working towards becoming healed and healthy again. If you're been sitting on the fence, or trying to decide which book to buy from the many, GET THIS one! It's worth every penny and then some. If appropriate, this book will make for a lovely, caring gift for people of all ages. And again, be it for someone just starting their journey, to the semi jaded experienced person like myself, who totally gave up on any new books. I have been, and am so, SO beyond grateful and HAPPY to have found this gem of a book!! Hope this helps :)
