Thoroughly enjoyed reading this.A total mind opener and so thought provoking. Knowing, owning and speaking your truth is the hardest thing in life. In a world constantly telling us how to look, what to wear, what to say, how to take the perfect selfie, how to live, knowing your truth will set you free and just let you live, breathe and take 5 on life! I’m on this constant journey to my own truth and it’s a learning curve each time I discover new truths about myself and this book has made me real...
I was really looking forward to reading this book, as I really like ferne and what she stands for even more so in recent years. I found her book 'calm' to be very good and grounded. I'm not sure what it was about this book.. it wasn't a usual 'can't put it down book'. I think I set my expectations of it too high, and I guess was expecting more advice and to be more personal development rather than being mainly fernes experience (which was still interesting I just expected a little more guidance
I’m a huge fan of Fearne and her books. This however let me down. Originally purchased when published, I struggled to finish until picking up again today. It’s a bit of a mash up from her others over the years.
I enjoy a self help book now and then. I have read Fearne’s other books and enjoyed them so decided to listen to this. Great when out walking, she discusses finding your truth, slowing down and being yourself. I really liked it.
It took me a while to get into this book but after about 70 pages I was hooked. I really interesting perspective. Worth reading if you like this sort of book but not my favourite of the genre.
I felt highs and lows with this book. It definitely made me think and plan to make changes.
My first ever time reading a self help kind of book. But I completely fell in love with it. Spent my week reading through it chapter at a time whilst listening to happy place on Spotify and I’m hooked. Fearnes brutal honesty with herself in this book is incredible and she gives fantastic analogy’s with her points.Really enjoyed and can’t wait to read more of her work and start to say more truths myself!
I enjoyed this book and glad I read it but after reading lots of other, deeper self help books this seemed to only scratch the surface.
I enjoyed reading this! Although nothing was new to me, it was all a good reminder to be honest with yourself and believe in yourself and your truth....all much easier said than done of course. I do agree with Fearne though....this does start to get easier with each passing year! I wasn't a fan though of how the book was written in terms of structure...I felt some parts were repeated/it just didn't flow. Regardless, it was a pleasant, easy to read book!
This book has become somewhat of a Bible to me. It speaks to the way I have hidden my true self and been afraid of speaking my truth for fear of the consequences. I have underlined so many fragments of wisdom from Fearne, as she works through her own challenges of speaking her truth and finding her inner voice. The worksheets provided after each chapter really help to analyse your own experiences and how they may have led to certain outcomes. While some sections of the book were so easy to read
Having been an avid listener of the Happy Place podcast by Fearne, I was keen to pick up her latest book, and seeing it available at the library was a bonus. I certainly wasn't disappointed. Such an authentic and thoughtful guide to really figuring out where you would like to go and do throughout your life. Highly recommended. Some T/W for heavy content on anxiety, depression etc.L I N K S:My Wishlist-https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/...Twitter- www.Twitter.com/AllyBookKnotKo-Fi-https://ko-f...
I absolutely loved this book. It’s woken me up to many of my truths I need to work on and will work on. I felt fearne to be so relatable it was sometimes like reading about myself!
Reflections and lessons learned:“Have you diluted parts of yourself to please others?”The practice of making a cup of tea for several people - this is something so simple that can sometimes make me instantly anxious, but is used as the perfect example here of trying to find a way through life to fit - the organising and ordering of who wants what, getting it right, tidying the chaos as you go, making the recipient happy with the correct ratios of milk, sugar, tea strength, dreading the face of j...
This book really resonated with me and was just what I needed to read at this moment in time. There was a lot in here that was so relatable. It is my favourite of Cotton’s books that I’ve read so far. Short and sweet but that about sums it up!
Not my favourite of Fearne’s books. I found this had less practical advice than the other and was more anecdotal.
I finished this book this morning and this afternoon I got a work email saying:“I’d rather you did raise stuff like this with us. Better than staying quiet and not getting to help out so I’m pleased you did”. So yeah, that’s pretty cool!
I mean I absolutely LOVE Fearne! I'm literally obsessed with her books because she seems to speak my language! 😂 Another brilliant read!!!! Just Wow!I know self help books aren't everyone's cup of tea but if you do like them I think Fearne's books are so so great to be honest.This book is exactly like the title suggests, all about being truthful. Fearne wrote this in Lockdown so it's very current and very real to what is going on in the world right now so if you may want to read it, now would be...
A reassuring and relatable read - much needed as the world starts to open up again.
5* for a life line to speaking your truth!I have read all of Fearne's books over the years and always found them to be a life line in helping me live my life in my most authentic way. This book didn't disappoint and, like her previous work, felt like catching up with an old friend who just 'gets it'.Speak Your Truth - Just picking this book up began my journey to living in a more honest way. I'm a person who personally struggles with the word "no", despite how heavy my load already is. Fearne's
I love Fearne cottons previous books so much, I prefer them to a lot of other self help books that are out there. I feel like I can always relate to Fearne’s experiences and she seems so relatable. I felt that this book was good! However, I feel like it was a bit of a let down to previous books. I just think I set the expectations too high as her other books were so so good!
