Review: The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself

The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself by Michael A. Singer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A book preaches one of the biggest, toughest, but most important thing to learn, adapt to, and remind yourself of constantly. It reminded me of the seminar Landmark I did and what they taught me.

This book is all about the inner voice, the voice at the back of your head, your roommate, your psyche. You need to reclaim the space, that isn't who you truly are. You need to control it don't let it control you.

Life is all about balance, do not do extremes.

Let go.

"The most important thing in life is your inner energy. If you’re always tired and never enthused,
then life is no fun. But if you’re always inspired and filled with energy, then every minute of every
day is an exciting experience. Learn to work with these things. Through meditation, through
awareness and willful efforts, you can learn to keep your centers open. You do this by just relaxing
and releasing. You do this by not buying into the concept that there is anything worth closing over.
Remember, if you love life, nothing is worth closing over. Nothing, ever, is worth closing your heart
over."

Review: The Fork, the Witch, and the Worm: Eragon

The Fork, the Witch, and the Worm: Eragon by Christopher Paolini
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Really sweet and short novella. There's a few mini stories in here and the worm {BTW worm = dragon ;)} in particular is pretty enjoyable :) There's also a star appearance from the series that actually surprised me and I learned a bit more of their character through the story.

It's still in the world of Alegasia which I love <3 There's a bit of Eragon in it and what his life is like after the series ended which was really cool. I just wanted more! lol

Review: The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business

The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business by Charles Duhigg
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Really liked this book! Very interesting studies and facts on the Power of Habits. It was a pretty long book, definitely a re-read.

Notes:
- Habits are formed by cravings, there's a cue, a routine, and a reward
- People crave the tingly feeling of minty toothpaste because it makes them think the product has done something, that it has had an effect. Fabreeze has the fresh smell at the end of your cleaning which creates a craving for that scent and that feeling of accomplishment
- “It seems ridiculously simple, but once you’re aware of how your habit works, once you recognize the cues and rewards, you’re halfway to changing it”
- “We know that a habit cannot be eradicated—it must, instead, be replaced. And we know that habits are most malleable when the Golden Rule of habit change is applied: If we keep the same cue and the same reward, a new routine can be inserted. But that’s not enough. For a habit to stay changed, people must believe change is possible. And most often, that belief only emerges with the help of a group.”
- Willpower is a muscle, you can use it all up for the day and it will become exhausted
- Starbucks allowed autonomy among their employee's and this increased morale

Review: Savage Prince

Savage Prince by Meghan March
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

(2.5/5) This book was much better written than the last Meghan March book I read The Ruthless King.
It had much better smut lol but the story was probably worse, but I feel like the story isn't even that important with this genre.
I just don't really like this genre lol
The smut was all about watching and being watched, etc. I'm going to be off the romance band wagon for a long time now lol k byeeeee

Review: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change by Stephen R. Covey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is like a bible personal development book. It has soooooo much content in it. Definitely a re-read! Second time reading it I will take notes. I also bought the book too.

There was surprisingly a lot about how to deal with your children, as well as how to deal with others. It had a How to Win Friends and Influence People feels to it.

Review: Ruthless King

Ruthless King by Meghan March
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Smut smut smut 2/5. Story? Meh, Smut? It was okay. lol that sums it up nicely.

For the record the only other romance/smut type of books I've ever read are the 50 Shades so I had that to compare it to. This book is not even close to how good 50 Shades was and 50 Shades wasn't even 5/5.

Ruthless King... it wasn't even about a King lol

The story was so meh, I can literally sum up the whole story in a sentence, but with no spoilers - it's about a girl that runs a lovely distillery passed down from her family and a random guy says that her recently deceased husband owed half a million dollars so now she's going to have to be his. Like she's going to be his property basically.

As a business woman myself, I didn't feel the legitimacy of the main characters business sense. It definitely felt made up, not a real business woman. Any real business woman would get her lawyers or accountants or anything to look over documents especially owing half a million dollars, but she naively believed the whole thing.

Also, we literally know nothing about the main guy, just that he's apart of drug dealing maybe? That's literally it, how can I as a reader develop feelings for him if there's nothing there lol ugh...

The smut was okay but not even that good, it wasn't very detailed and there were only a few smutty moments in the whole book. Speaking of which, this book was pretty short!

I won't be reading the next book in the series but I might give one of Meghan March's other smutty books a chance.
