This book is a great resource. The premise of the book is that conversations (even check-in conversations with yourself!) are an important way to maintain mental health, and that one way to think about your status is as a “battery.” I found this metaphor helpful and easy to grasp, and I’m sure others will too. David Ko interviewed quite a few people about how they stay charged or recharge their mental and physical battery. While some of the interviews were shorter than I expected, he always expanded on them when reflecting later. I love that he included interviews with a variety of people about a variety of mental health strategies. Additionally, the book has specific sentence frames to ask questions about others and to express your needs. This book has information and encouragements that could be helpful to pretty much anyone! It is also well-written, engaging, and easy to read.

Thank you to NetGalley and Forbes Books for the free eARC. I post this review with my honest opinions. This review will be posted to Amazon upon the book’s publication.
