As I wrote at the top of this hub: "I was sent a free copy of Really Good F Words: Your Interactive Guide to Self-Care by Lorrie Forde in exchange only for my honest and unbiased review of Really Good F Words: Your Interactive Guide to Self-Care by Lorrie Forde."
As many of you already know I am currently a student at Southern New Hampshire University and I am working towards a bachelor's degree in psychology. As a psychology student I found the idea of everyone being able to have a life coach in the form of a book to be an interesting concept which I had a desire to explore. A bit off topic, but I would love to study the difference between a book as a life coach and a human as a life coach which one would provide more assistance, would it very from person to person?
I opened this book and waded through the acknowledgments, the table of contents, and the prologue/preface chapter. I began reading chapter one and I was surprised to find stories about other people's lives and decisions, but I waded onward into the book. I felt myself beginning to feel disappointment. I expected to find suggestions and help on how to make me practice better self care not mini autobiographies on other people. I felt relieved when I hit chapter five on on page 39 titled Your Turn. Now chapter five was what I was expecting the book asked me questions and left room for me to answer them in the book. I actually had to go back and reread some of the stories because now it had made perfect sense why there were all those stories. They were not just autobiographies they were self care ideas that I could implement in my own life if I wanted. I felt like kicking myself that author had set up the perfect way to help me practice self-care and I had overlooked it because of my own expectations. I do kind of wish the author had included a not in the beginning on why there were so many stories and what there purpose was.
Having now read this book I would suggest that anyone looking for some help with practicing self care reads this book. As it will guide you through the process of helping yourself. I would recommend skipping to chapter five reading the questions and then going back to chapter one. Doing it this way allows you to know why there are so many stories about other people and ti puts them in better perspective. This book provides amazing advice, is well organized (would have loved a note about the why of the stories, but that is more of a me thing than something against the book), and truly helps to reach people on the importance of self-care. Everyone deserves self care, but not everyone wants to speak to someone else about their life this book is the perfect solution for those people.
If you are wondering why many of the words that begin with the letter f are in bold it is because all f words are in bold in Really Good F Words: Your Interactive Guide to Self-Care by Lorrie Forde.
