"24 Hours Is All It Takes" is an encouraging wake-up call for me. Vivian Risi's practical approach of positive routines and habits is inspiring me to make changes in my mornings that influence the rest of my day. Reading this felt like sitting down with a positive and supportive friend.. Highly recommended! Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.
This book was an excellent and encouraging read. The author gives 15 small habits that can change your daily routine to help you get the most out of your life, professionally and personally. I liked the balance in this book about reaching professional goals while also prioritizing personal lives, family, friends, etc. It would be a great read for anybody who feels overwhelmed with life and feels stuck in the rat race.
I think this book has an important place in the self-help genre because although it is nothing new really; it serves as a good reminder and a great cheerleader. I'll be referring to it frequently as I continue to work on developing better exercise and health habits.
24 Hours is All It Takes is a shorter, manageable version of Atomic Habits (in my opinion). It's easily readable and very engaging. I loved several of the statements that were bolded for emphasis: Nothing changes if nothing changes, Success is whatever you imagine it to be, etc. If you need to be inspired to make small changes in your life, this is the book for you.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Pub Date: 25/4
Reading self help books isn't actually my good to go genre, however when the right book shows up I find myself hooked and this is what happened with me with this one.
The writer takes us through 15 habits that help manage our daily lives. Written using simple words that is easy to understand and apply without the confusion of anything related to science. She takes us through each habit and how we can use it to be better and feel better without the promise that will happen overnight because everything needs patience and perseverance. It is a guide book should you follow it promises you a life of success, happiness, fulfillment, and gratitude.
It is helpful, informative, reflective, enjoyable, and easy to read.
These are three of my favourite quotes
"Everything has an expiry date, and every day is a blessing."
"You need to make the little things work for you as part of your daily plan."
"Don't let the shock value of your problems scare you off. Life is scary, and your best day is lie just beyond your comfort zone. Expect to be uncomfortable, anticipate the fear, and go for it anyway."
Thank you @netgalley and the publisher for granting me an ARC of #24HoursIsAllTakes in exchange for my honest opinion.
Vivian Risi's book is full of advice and tips on how you can improve your daily life. It has simple steps you can take, and is really useful/helpful. I'm glad that I checked out this book!
I recommend readers check out this book. My thanks to Girl Friday Books and NetGallery for a digital copy of this book for my review!
I found the most value and new information in the last third of the book. Its when I felt the most authenticity from the author as she shared her life experiences in ways that I could relate to.
While it took a while to get through the first parts of the book, it really made it worth it to finish off on such a strong note.
The habits and considerations have been shared many times before. It's the personal anecdotes that really make the book. In particular when shes discussing the people she surrounded herself with at a time in her life and the way their lifestyle impacted how she began living her life really resonated. The decisions that she made were those I had made myself at one point and I look back in horror thinking the situations could've been the same...
Stick it out for the last part of the book.
"24 Hours Is All It Takes" by Vivian Risi is a great guidebook for anyone looking to improve their daily routines and transform their mindset for success. While the information may not be entirely groundbreaking, the book is well-organized, with a chapter dedicated to each of the 15 habits discussed, and Risi provides fresh insight into the daily actions embraced by successful entrepreneurs, personal routines, and habits that she herself swears by.
Overall, the book is well-written and provides practical tips and encouragement for anyone looking to improve their daily habits and achieve success. I would give it four stars and recommend it to anyone looking to make positive changes in their life.
Thank you Netgalley for providing me a copy of the book for my ynbiased feedback
I was looking for a book to make changes in my personal and professional life and along came this book. It was good because all the suggestions were ones that could easily be achieved in every day life. This is one of those books I will continue to reference back to and keep notes nearby of changes I can easily make.
While this book doesn't really provide anything new per se, it is a great "cheerleader" of a book and feels like an encouraging hug more than anything. I enjoyed reading this and this book would be ideal for anyone who is looking for a little encouragement on their own journey to conquering their lives.
While its advice is far from ground-breaking (wake up earlier, embrace and attitude of gratitude, etc), Risi has a warm, approachable tone and offers some actionable ideas for implementing the advice we often hear but rarely practice. I will recommend to readers of Rachel Hollis and Brene Brown. Thank you to netgalley and Girl Friday books for digital review copy.
24 HOURS IS ALL IT TAKES by Vivian Risi is that bracing breath of smart, astute clarity that many seek. With clear, compassionate, straightforward guidance, Risi offers the lost, the confused, the broken, the all of us trying to make sense of our lives and find a new way to live with integrity, courage, and meaning. While I appreciated the candor and the comprehensive view of thinking, feeling, and finding your way, I felt that I'd read it all before. I also question the amount of time it will take to make a genuine change and live the outcomes of this soul-searching, honest endeavor. I received a copy of this book and these opinions are my own, unbiased thoughts.
