12 rules for life - Jordan Peterson:
- I really enjoyed this book, though it did take me some time to read through it. There are a lot of valuable insights into the way we think and why we act or do things especially around how we treat ourselves. There was a lot of take away from this book and I can’t wait to read the next one. ⭐️Overall rating: 4/5
Dear Prudence - Daniel Lavery:
- This was such a fun read all the way through and I love his personal insight and how he sprinkles his story throughout the book. I also loved how looking back he added more information on things he would have changed for the advice. ⭐️Overall rating: 3/5
Angry Chefs Guide to Spotting Bullshit in the World of Food - Anthony Warner
- I cannot recommend this enough to young women that find themselves in the never ending loop of diet culture and the next new diet and constantly on some diet or detox or whatever it may be. He is so insightful and there is a bit of biology and chemistry in the book, but you learn a lot of about food and why the new diet culture of today does not make sense for our bodies or even our minds. I have learned so much about food and the culture around dieting and even some history on how some of these things got started. Highly highly recommend. ⭐️Overall rating: 5/5
