It is a true fact that I really rather enjoy reading what is probably termed ‘self help’ books. Books that are full of inspirational hints.
With the tag line of:
Learning to simplify life, let go and walk the path that’s truly ours
Honestly, how could I refuse the opportunity to read and review this book.
I must admit though, this is the first that I have come across this author. I hadn’t read her blog.
Title: Enough
Author: Jessica Rose Williams
Publication Date: 11th January 2022
Description:
Enough is a guide to living a life slowed down. Jessica Rose Williams shares her personal transformation, and shows how you can live an intuitive, minimal life in your own style.
My Thoughts:
Let me begin by saying that I approached the reading of this book with an open mind. It begins with a brief introduction from Williams about her personal life and what led her to question how she was living her life.
It is then divided into three parts:
Part One – Enough Things
Part Two – Enough Space
Part Three – Enough Within
She mentions a lot of her back story and uses it to an effective degree as she has worked on her personal development and headed in the direction of a life where minimalism features.
When we believe we are already enough just for being ourselves we have nothing to prove and nothing to hide. (p248-9)
The above was one of my favourite quotes. In the last third of the book I started highlighting passages.
There’s a lot to reflect on and practical prompts to consider if you are wishing to reevaluate your own life. I am certainly going to ponder and perhaps journal more as a result as I head towards the ideal of ‘considering living’.
Many thanks to the publisher for my review copy.
