Brighter by the Day was an inspirational story, written by the incomparable Robin Roberts. I loved how she took her life lessons as it related to her career, personal life, and her health journey. It was truly inspiring. I think her story resonated with me so much because it was my story at one point. I love reading the experiences of other survivors and it just fuels my feelings to know that I am strong as they were. There was quite a few gems in this story and I think many people will find a message within this book.

Brighter by the Day was exactly what I needed in my life right now. The messages that Robin Roberts pens in this book are so authentic and uplifting. I am always impressed with how she is able to be so relatable and speak to me from the pages with words that resonate so deeply.

I don't consider myself a person that follows celebrities or public personalities. I always find people I meet in real life to be the ones that I admire the most. However, I have become a follower of Robin Roberts over the last few years. I watched her MasterClass on communication and was drawn in by her positivity, down to earth personality and genuine nature. I then read her book Everybody's Got Something and it just reaffirmed everything I took from her MasterClass. When I heard about Brighter by the Day, I was thrilled. I had another chance to soak up all her brightness and authentic words.

I highly recommend Brighter by The Day for all readers. It is a beautiful reminder of so many real moments in life and how to choose joy for yourself. Brighter by the Day is the kind of book you want to gift to all your friends and family. I've already been sharing with my friends many of Robin's messages that spoke to me. I continue to be inspired by her and know that you will too.

I received this book courtesy of the publisher in exchange for an honest review. I also borrowed the audio book from our local library so I could hear Robin read the book in her own voice, which I believe, enhanced my reading of the book.

Many people in the U.S. are familiar with Robin Roberts as she is the face of a popular morning TV show. I don’t usually watch morning TV but was aware of some of Roberts’ story and the challenges she has faced in the past.

In this book, Ms. Roberts is looking forward to each day with hope and optimism. She shares her beliefs and ways of approaching daily life in these pages; she was encouraged to do so by those with whom she was in daily touch during Covid.

The book is divided into sections including The Joy Mindset. Positive on Purpose and, Stronger than You Know. Some of the chapters within these sections include Happiness vs Joy; Give Thanks for the Glass; When Fear Knocks, Let Joy Answer; and Vulnerability is Strength.

Looking for some wisdom with spirituality? If yes, pick this one up. I have enjoyed the timespent with this title. Robin Roberts has given her mind and spirit to this volume.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for this title. All opinions are my own.

This title will be published on 12 Apr 2022.

Roberts strong faith and determination to grow from all of her life experiences fill this enjoyable, quick read. It is impossible to read this book and not have more respect for its author, her grace and resiliency flow over every page.

I'm a fan of the author and have enjoyed watching her career over the years, so I was excited to read her book. I found it to be encouraging and inspiring, and I loved the personal anecdotes throughout the book. It felt like you were sitting down and chatting with a good friend. Roberts was very upfront with how her faith has played an important role in her life. If you're looking to add a bit of positivity to your day, this is a great book to check out.
