Review of Uplifted
The book, Uplifted: 12 Minutes to More Joy, Faith, Peace, Kindness & Vitality, is the ultimate guide to achieving a life of positivity and vitality. The author, Susan Smith Jones, Ph.D., wrote this book to show that there is a different way to think and live our lives. A way that will keep our bodies healthy and our minds positive, regardless of the negative factors surrounding us. This book will present the reader with thought-provoking questions meant to inspire us to make a change in the way we are living. Jones introduces the problem of stress, and how it is sabotaging one’s ability to relax and focus on their relationships. She also discusses how the fast-paced world we live in is forcing bad habits and mood changes. The author brings to light the many self-sabotaging habits that people are faced with and then provides in-depth solutions to them. In this book, Smith presents the reader with 12-minute action steps for the reader to implement daily.
This was an exceptional book. I found so much value in reading this book. Jones provided many simple and easy ways for the reader to improve their lives immediately. She also provides so many practical and realistic ways for the reader to better themselves. She does not include overly complex topics that do not make sense. All of her teachings and concepts make sense. She also touches on a wide variety of ideas in this book. The reader can learn a vast array of items that go into our overall health and well-being. I learned so much about my body and mind through reading this book. I loved how easy it was to understand the concepts the author discussed as well. Jones makes it super easy to follow along with and understand exactly what she is trying to say.
There was nothing to dislike about this book. Jones did a great job keeping me engaged throughout the entire book. I never found myself getting bored or confused at any time while reading this. The author made the book the perfect length as well. She made it just long enough to include all the necessary details to get her message across.
Overall, this was an unbelievable book filled with tons of learning opportunities. The author provides valuable teachings and ways for the reader to improve their all-around lives. I can truly say that I gained a ton of knowledge and help from reading this book. Jones also did a great job keeping the book clear and organized. She got her points across perfectly and wrapped her message up exceptionally well. I also found no grammatical errors, which makes me believe that this book was professionally edited. For the reasons stated, I would rate this book a 5 out of 5.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking to improve their overall quality of life. This book will teach the reader simple changes they can make to their lives that will make an unbelievable difference.
