Good basics

Books talks a lot about what majority already know, however, it uses examples to set us back on track on remind of life essentials. If you are looking to reconnect with yourself and go back to basics generally, this book is the one to help with that.

Down to earth book

Enjoyable with good tips and hacks. Zoned out here and there and found it difficult to follow some sections where you ideally need the book to read and reread. I will be reviewing his resources and may decide to buy a hard copy book. Recommend it.

Life energising and a breath of fresh air!

Wow! I just don’t write reviews... but this warranted my time too do so! Love the narration, beautiful energised voice, so many life practice which I’m planning to adopt.

Most of all it’s amazing to listen to someone who’s ideals and views on life and if life, are truly identical to every view and belief I have been developing over my own life...

About time too, people really need this balanced yet thought provoking out look, everyone would benefit from a slice of this philosophy.

This book has inspired me to set up a new business with a view to help bring together people who can help others, our very own wellness rooms in the UK..

This is a person that would be a dream to meet and talk too, one day, when I’ve taken action to work on balancing my overworked adrenals, I will work towards that goal, but one journey at a time.

A must read if you want to begin your journey to life change & inner focus..
