Well written and easy to read and follow along. I am a beginner and found it had a great amount of information that a beginner or someone with more skill would still enjoy and gain information from. I would recommend to my patrons.

There are a lot of self-help books out there that try to be concise and easy to follow, and this book tops all of them for those reasons alone. The author’s goal is to help people come back to themselves, by essentially cultivating self-awareness. For me personally, the tips were more like emotional and physical check-ins than rituals which we tend to associate with complicated steps. The “rituals” are small things that someone can do to positively impact their overall well-being, contributing to greater harmony between their mind, body, and soul. Whether it’s eating a healthy meal, using mudras, giving yourself a massage, or following your breath, the rituals can be performed anywhere because they’re that easy.

The best part of the rituals are the thought bubbles which are things you might be thinking that are clues that you need some self-care. For example, if you tell yourself “I cannot focus right now,” it means that you need to tune into your breath. The only trouble with this is, how does one cultivate that much self-awareness that they can automatically know what they need in that moment? Do people need to carry this book around with them at first? My first impression after reading this book was that it was more of a reference guide as opposed to something that can eventually train people to be more self-aware. The problem with health and wellness is first recognizing that you need self-care to begin with. Perhaps this book’s simplicity is what can assist people in making better choices.

I think this book had some good ideas, and I would hope that this advice is practical enough that it can inspire people to be more proactive with their well-being. The author has spent many years creating products and services for the wellness industry, and I’m not convinced this book is really that different from all the other self-help books out there with the same message.
