Quick read with daily inspirations that I cruised through quickly. Wrote some down for future reference. Worth the time but don't necessarily need to pick up to read again.

I'm trying not to let the fact this book was gifted to me by a fake woman full of toxic positivity color my feelings regarding the book itself. But with tips ranging from "eat a brazil nut" to "wave at children you drive past" I'm having a really difficult time stomaching 99% of the suggestions within this book.

Of course, there's the old chestnut, "None of us can make it in life completely on our own...we make ourselves miserable by trying to go it all alone....Ask for what you need today, and you're more likely to receive it."

Thanks, I feel happier already...in fact, I think I shall be happiest when I can finally mark this book as read and dispose of it as quickly as the fake friend disposed of our friendship when I asked for help :) #SilverLinings
