If you only buy one self-help book, this is it!

The author uses her own life's experiences and research while boiling down much of what is explained in other books by Carol Dweck, Csikszentmihalyi, and Viktor Frankl, into an easy to follow way of changing your outlook and improving you life. Great book!

So good I immediately listened to it twice!

I love Christine's descriptions of life. Her tips are helpful for all people in any stage of life. I highly recommend (and can't wait to listen for a 3rd time!)

Highly recommended.

This book not only feels actionable but it's profoundly inspiring and is deeply researched. I feel that I can recommend it to people who are left brained and people who are right brained. I want a physical copy so I can quickly reference it as needed and I absolutely plan on listening to this book again. Very grateful to have stumbled upon it, and Dr. Carter.

Very relateable!

The book provides so many ways to better yourself and the way you think. I loved it and I plan on listening to it again because it is so full of great tips and I’m sure I missed some the first time through. Also would be interesting to listen to at different times in your life and could probably gain different perspective from it.

Found My Sweet Spot

“Do you find yourself exasperated by the busyness of modern life? Have too many conflicting obligations and not enough time, energy, or patience to get everything done?” Yes, Dr. Carter, yes. *Cue emotionally charged weeping* The Sweet Spot was the exact thing I needed after stretching myself thin to the point of near breaking. I easily become so focused on trying to get to *all the things* that I invest my time in areas I shouldn’t, because I don’t pause to question the need for my time. As a mom, wife, friend, full-time employee in a fast-paced space, non-profit Board member, volunteer, and all of the other roles I love to play, it is KEY for me to prioritize my own happiness and be productive in the most efficient way, so I don’t fall into complete burnout.

One of my favorite tips: Contemplate death and destruction. :) Dr. Carter outlines recommendations with research throughout the book: I love all the data.

I devoured the audible version of this, and want to give a shoutout to Dr. Carter’s narration. Her voice alone was like a Ted talk: strong and inspiring. I've already listened to the book twice. Here’s to hoping you find your sweet spot.

excellent book for a perfectionist

the narrator was excellent. Great for a recovering perfectionist! has many applicable strategies to change your life today

nice reminder of important things for happy life

the author uses lots references to research and experts advise, to prove her point, also lots of personal samples, I found it very helpful.

Highly Recommended !

What about Christine Carter Ph.D.’s performance did you like?

Christine Carter Ph.D. presented the information, in an honest manner. It was more like a heart to heart phone conversation with a friend, bold enough to say the things one needs to hear.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Chapters 4,5,6,7, 9, and10.

Mindset shift

Christine calls upon us to question the very definition of our own happiness and re-chart a course towards authenticity and connection to humankind. It is clarity in a world of white noise.

Worth your time

The majority of the topics are very intriguing. It may help you find alternative routes and see daily things differently.
