Summary:
Discover the hidden blessings within these pages to unlock your inner joy
By the time Lisa realised she was in the grip of enormous, life-transforming emotional pain, she was in no position to help herself get out of it. That was until a chance meeting with someone in a field changed everything.
She now wants to help others who find themselves in the same situation and who fear they’ll never be happy again.
This book reveals that not only is happiness within reach but also you can change your life for the better immediately. It provides comfort, reassurance that you’re not alone, and practical ways to help you flip how you see and think about dark moments.
Storytelling, nuggets of wisdom and beautiful illustrations gently but profoundly lead you along the path where happiness is the final destination.
There are also real-life stories from people around the world who, in the darkest of places, found hidden blessings that led them to feel at peace and to be happy and fulfilled once again.
Lisa’s aim is that this becomes your go-to book in time of need.
Review:
Firstly thank you to Random Things Book Tours, Compass Publishing UK and Lisa Brett for having me on this tour and sending me a copy of the book.
I was really looking forward to this book, it sounded like it would be really good for helping during moments when you needed to see a silver lining in situations.
I'm not sure it's a book that was meant to be read from cover to cover unfortunately, but that is how I read it. Reading it in one go makes for a very disjointed read, it was very jarring at times and that made me want to skip through passages and move along to the next story. I definitely got the point of the book, that even in the worst of situations there can be something good to come from it and that's what you need to focus on instead of the bad thing that's occurred, which is a pretty good way to look at life and far more positive way than dwelling on the bad. But maybe it's a case of reading the relevant story/section and taking the message from it.
I do love that she gathered people's stories together for the book and kind of put them into sections but I'm not sure they all fit together in one book, it didn't feel like a cohesive book.
The sections written by Lisa were well written, I liked how she did the conversations between characters which was really interesting.
But overall I'm not sure this is the book for me, though I do think that maybe it's because I read it in one go.
