Happy Not Perfect gave many good insights and tips on how to approach life feeling imperfect, would recommend everyone to give this a read.

I’m not typically a person that will pick a self help book above other things, but this was a nice change of pace!
Happy Not Perfect is a book that challenges people to be flexible with their thinking. We often find ourselves fixated on things that do not serve us, or we hide the qualities that make us unique, all while putting up a false front to appear happier for people that are probably just as miserable. This is a book that suggests maybe it’s better to take a step back to analyze our negative thoughts instead of drowning in them.

I found this book to be highly relatable and fun to read! It isn’t preachy or obnoxious, which is what usually keeps me from reaching for most self help type things. This book probably won’t tell you a lot you don’t already know (especially if you’re interested in bettering yourself and have already begun the research/therapy to do so), but it is a wonderful guide to reinforce positive thinking patterns. I give Happy Not Perfect 4 stars.

Thanks to NetGalley for this eARC for an honest review!

I was really excited for this book, but unfortunately it fell completely short. Nothing better than generic self-help info that you could find online or social media. DNF.

DNF. Unfortunately, this was a book I started multiple times but could just not get into. While I am a big fan of self-help books and anything that focuses on prioritizing your mental health, and I could not connect with the waiting style. I appreciate having the opportunity to read this book, it was just not a good fit for me as a reader.
