Rina Raphael discusses what's wrong and right about the wellness industry. She cites research articles and studies all throughout the book, not something you see in your fitfluencers post or hear on The Today Show.

I threw away my embarrassment of what I believed. I told everyone that we can no longer have grocery-shame, fit-shame, and self-care shame after reading this book!

As a productivity coach, speaker, and consultant, I appreciated his approach to discipline and routine, often shunned by those in the arts. His point is to create a routine in areas of your life that you can, opening up your time and energy to be more creative.
From the legendary music producer, a master at helping people connect with the wellsprings of their creativity, comes a beautifully crafted book many years in the making that offers that same deep wisdom to all of us.
"A gorgeous and inspiring work of art on creation, creativity, the work of the artist. It will gladden the hearts of writers and artists everywhere, and get them working again with a new sense of meaning and direction. A stunning accomplishment.” —Anne Lamott

Viola Davis's childhood is something a fiction writer wouldn't or couldn't create. It would seem too made up and cruel. It is inspiring to see how she was able to grow and learn from such trauma and be so successful, which is the epitome of resilience and grit. I opted for the audio version read by the author, and it did not disappoint.
