Editorial Review

Open your mind to a whole new way of thinking, and let mindfulness take root.

A masterful compilation of self-help essays, Brianna Wiest's 101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think is the perfect audiobook for anyone looking to expand their emotional intelligence, become more self aware, or generally improve positive thinking and mindset. Wiest focuses mainly on philosophy-based writing, offering emotional and motivational pieces that help shape each listener's inner self and push them towards greatness.

An author and a poet, Brianna Wiest channels spirituality, mindfulness and intentionality in this series of essays. Each one will help listeners break bad habits and cultivate new thinking patterns. Together, the essays form a self-help book of sorts that actually teaches listeners how to use negative thinking—an inevitable occurrence—and shape it into real emotional maturity. This thought catalog will change the way you think about just about everything you once knew, opening your eyes to new possibilities and new ways of seeing the world.

This audiobook adaptation is read by experienced narrator Abby Craden, whose calm, clear and soothing voice is the perfect compliment for Wiest's words. She brings the serene introspective vibes of these essays to life, helping listeners to fall into a peaceful, thoughtful state. A great book for anyone looking to dive deeper into mindful thought, 101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think is a true game changer.

Disappointed!

I couldn't really rate like it deserved because I couldn't get past 10th essay! I just did not enjoy the narration- there was something about the tone of voice and the too perfect enunciation that just seemed like nails on a chalkboard! No idea why and I'm sure others will like it but that's my honest review! I will have to buy a paper copy and read on my own!

Great boook

I love it! I actually brought the physical copy because I want to write it down all the work it’s in the book. I’ve been doing therapy for a few months and I find the work in this book as helpful as my therapist.

This should be called "101 Listicles"

Super disappointed in what this turned out to be: loosely themed, disjointed musings presented in bullet form. Just awful.

Her voice is cringe. I hate the list format.

Listening to this book was killing my brain cells. it's lazy and full of obvious thought exercises a monkey could come up with.

chapters are numbered only

Great essays, but I can't refer back those ideas. For example can't the find the chapters about motivation unless I memorized the chapter numbers. I need the chapters to have titles so that I don't need to listen from beginning to end just to find pieces. I don't always bookmark the good parts.
