I wanted to love this, but it felt like it just kind of fell flat and that there was more things that could’ve been expanded upon. While I understand that being hyper individualistic has done more harm than good I just felt like there were things left open. Overall a good read.

This book was good to read but I felt like I forced myself to finish. I think that what the author is doing is incredible and I did appreciate learning about that, however aside from that I didn't feel like I really took much from reading it. I did like the reminder though that even small actions can make a difference.

Love Without Reason: The Lost Art of Giving a F*ck by LaRayia Gaston
Publisher: Sounds True
Genre: Self-Help
Publication Date: March 16, 2021

Love Without Reason: The Lost Art of Giving a F*ck by LaRayia Gaston is a self-help book set out to inspire people to be kinder and more generous.

I don't know. I was expecting more from this. It was interesting and easy to read, but I struggled to connect with it. I had not heard of the author before or of the non-profit, so maybe that it part of it.

I did think that the tips on making tiny changes was great and very helpful!

I'm so grateful to LaRayia Gaston, Sounds True, and NetGalley for providing me with a free copy of this ARC ebook in exchange for my honest review.

I loved the premise of this book but I just could not get into it. The author is a model who has started a nonprofit that feeds healthy, organic meals to homeless folks. I love everything about that but I went to the Facebook page for the organization and it's mostly empty other than a few old posts from someone really angry who appears to be part of the community constantly called LaRayia out for being a fraud and only caring about her ego. I don't have any idea why his comments are never answered or why there are no recent posts there (IG seems to be current with a totally different vibe). But with the book itself, it just felt like an endless humble brag about what a good person the author is and how great "Lunch On Me" is. I agree that she is and it is, but I didn't really get any concrete ideas or inspiration or anything. I already work to make the world better with my own nonprofit work but I am always looking for more motivation and inspiration. I don't know why this just didn't hit for me but I ended up DNF'ing it because I just couldn't keep on with it.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review.

This is basically a book about love and compassion for everyone, and how we as individuals have the power to bring more love into this world by giving a f**k. The author shares life experiences and understands exactly how easy it is to be affected by the feeling of being unloved. She shares her stories, and offers suggestions and questions she calls Heartwork to get you to delve deep. She speaks of mindfulness, and gives such great insights overall on being a better person. She also offers tips on making small, positive changes and differences in others' lives. Beautiful.

Beautifully written and laid out. I absolutely love love stories and poetry. Most of these you will know. Some I have never heard of before. These stories transported me to another world of love and light. I felt like this book was speaking to me and for me. It was so beautifully written and resonated to my core. Highly recommend. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
