The Power of Little Words is an interesting self-help book centered on the power of certain words. Though I personally did not love the format of each word being centered on a personal experience, it had the potential to be a great guide.

Great little coffee table book! A cute quick read spreading positivity and inspiration. This got 3 stars in my opinion as it does feel a little like an advertisement for the authors business which for me, distracted from the purpose of the book (despite how aligned the business is to this books message).

Part Inspirational, part motivational, you could journal about each and every one of these words and add your thoughts to the authors. The positive message included in The Power Of Little Words is something we need more of in this world.

For me the trouble with books like this is that I know I need to believe in myself, back myself, have courage, make a change etc etc but I don't know how. You kind of already have to have the necessary mindset to be able to do it, and reading a book of someone else's successes might inspire you to want to do it, but it doesn't give you the confidence to actually do it. So for me it doesn't really work, but I can see how for other people this would be a supportive and inspirational little book to help them on their way.

What a positive, uplifting, powerful read!

Adriana Carrig is an entrepreneur who had an idea and a dream and wouldn't give up on either one. In The Power of Little Words: How One Kind Word Can Change Everything she shares her inspiring story based on the tenets of self-love, self-worth, empowerment, and kindness.

I love everything about this book! It is a book to treasure and share. As I read it, I kept adding to a list of loved ones that would enjoy it. A wonderful gift for yourself and others!

My thanks to Rock Point for permitting me to access a DRC of the book via NetGalley. Publication is 9/17/24. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own and are freely given.

This was a fabulous, quick read. It’s filled with inspiration and would make a great coffee table book. I’d never heard of Little Words Project but the four I resonated with the most were: Appreciate, Gratitude, Patience, and Resilience. Thanks to this book, I will be focusing on them more in the coming days/weeks/months. Thanks to NetGalley for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review – pub day is 9/17/24!

I didn’t know about The Little Words project before reading this books, as I think the stores are in the USA. What a fabulous product and concept, and how lovely to be able to read the background from the founder.

The bracelets are so beautiful , the idea of Connect, Live, Give and being able to follow your gifted bracelet via registering the tag in the website is brilliant.

I wish Adriana all the very best in the future, I really enjoyed reading this authentic account of her life and business so far.

This book was a quick and easy read that still managed to teach me a lot. I’m about to move out of home to pursue something big and better for myself elsewhere and since finding out that the chance I had taken paid off, I had been terrified but this book has helped me come to terms with the fact that it is what’s best for me and my future and I need to take life one step at a time and be proud of myself for how far I’ve come. Thankyou Adriana Carrig for also proving that I’ll never have to choose between being a CEO and a mother because it’s possible to do it all with balance.

I absolutely love the positivity that is shown throughout this! It shows powerful and caring advice for people who struggle in finding who they are as a person. Empowerment comes in multiple forms and this shows how you’re able to take those steps. I highly recommend this and will be getting this myself.

Overall Rating: 4 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Cover Rating: 4 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book made my day with all its encouraging words and wisdoms. I really liked how the author shared her personal experiences. The quotes are lovely and I loved the colour scheme of this book and just the general aura around this book.

Thank you NetGalley.

For such a small book it is really uplifting and inspiring. It's such a boost of positivity and power. It felt like chatting with a friend rather than reading a book which I loved and I loved the overall aesthetic

Words hold power. We're all aware of this. We've all been taught this fact. Probably for many, on countless occasions. However, at times, it's something we may casually forget.

That's where 'The Power of Little Words' comes in handy. This little book of positivity encapsulates everything you need to hear to feel that quick surge of energy and inspiration and in just over 120 pages as well. Sometimes less is more. Am I right?

Adriana Carrig, the author, shares insights from her personal and professional life, including lessons learned from her school days, marriage, and the growth of her brand, the Little Words Project.

Throughout this short book we find out about the overall set up of Carrigs business, the setbacks she faced and how even through moments of difficulty, she tried maintaining this positive outlook.

It was a pleasure reading Adriana's words. She writes like she's talking to the reader. In a sense it reminded me of a blog post format. The pacing was very quick and my interest was captured from the beginning. Exactly what you want.

In fact, despite it's minuscule demeanour, I'd say this book definitely packed a heavy punch when it came to knowledge and understanding of the business world. Carrig comes across as humble and someone you could easily be friends with and want to chat with further. That to me made this a much easier read. That personal connection truly enhanced the reading experience.

The only thing that has kept me from making this book a 5 star read was a section where I couldn't fully agree with one of the thought processes. That's not to say it is wrong or wouldn't be right for someone else. It just wouldn't be the way for me based on what I believe. I respect it regardless and I always admire other perspectives and view points.

As mentioned, I would be keen to engage in deeper conversation with Adriana. I would love to pick her brain further on everything she spoke on. I'm interested in finding out more about the business itself and where she sees it going in the future. Call me nosy, but now I've read about it, I really want to know.

A genuine breath of fresh air!

Also, thank you to Netgalley for allowing me to read this book in return for my honest review.

There's nothing but good advice and positive vibes here. I like the layout, how easy it is to focus on one positive idea at a time. I also like how the ideas are basic but some of them have a fun twist. If I owned a physical copy of this, I'd separate the pages to use some of these pages as decorations.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

Just the hype I needed!

This book will fill your day with so much hope and inspiration!

I love the entire content, the quotes and the personal experiences included in the book.

The colours, the warm colours, the presentation- everything is perfect.

Thank you, Rock Point, for the advance reading copy.

I am so happy to see that Carrig has a book out. My good friend gave me a Gratitude bracelet from Carrig's company so I was familiar with the Little Word world! The book is a positive reminder of the power words have in our lives. Give one to yourself and one to others you care about. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

Exactly what I hoped this book would be. Encouraging words with little, very little stories behind each one. Easy read and a perfect reminder of the power of affirmation, the power of words.
