It's definietly not a book that gives you a detailed step-by-step on how to navigate through your life but it's a great introduction to simple ideas. It's a quick read, mostly because I felt like I didn't want to put the book down. I kept it by my bedside table for a while and just picked it up before bed whenever I had a bad day or needed reassurance. I love that the title of the essay are huge and easy to find, so when you're going through something specific it's fast to just flip to.
I would say, don't be expected to be blown away by the concpets she talks about in this book. It's nothing new and something we all really know deep down but she writes in a way that is a beautiful needed reminder. A millennial with wisdom decades beyond her lived years. This is the fifth book of hers that I've read and, yet, my least favorite. I think it's indicative of her younger age and at the time she wrote it and also reflection of an earlier work in her career and level of maturity.
Still, there's still some beautiful takeaways. I shared many quoted text portions to my Facebook pages via the Kindle app. Her most recent book, The Mountain is You, is her best work to date. Oct 15, Pritha rated it it was ok Shelves: dropped-books. This book could have been the best thing in the world if I got cheated on, broken up and lost faith in people. This is definitely not the truth about everything.
Some things make sense and one can relate to it but it just wasn't the thing for me. Sometimes it sounded a bit religious, and it asked you to believe in fate and have faith. I don't want to call fate as the truth of everything. I have heard good things about other Wiest bestsellers, probably should have started with those, now I'm a bit This book could have been the best thing in the world if I got cheated on, broken up and lost faith in people.
I have heard good things about other Wiest bestsellers, probably should have started with those, now I'm a bit skeptical about the author. Whenever you feel hopeless, all you need to do is go outside and realize that you have been molded into human form for some reason.
You are somewhere you may never be again. Your actions, no matter how inconsequential you think they may be, have been essential. Apr 11, Victoria Shaw rated it it was amazing. Insightful, spiritual guidance, and spiritual in the sense of self versus organized religion, of some of the most simple truths that lie at the tips of our noses. If you are ready for your life to change, start by opening these pages and your mind. Sep 18, Kristina rated it really liked it.
Feb 24, Alyssa Brown rated it it was ok. This may be a good book for anyone dealing with loss particularly after a break up but most of the essays were difficult to connect with. Dec 19, Ella Winters rated it it was amazing. Good book, good advice. Dec 14, Cassidy Crowe rated it it was amazing.
Jan 01, Carla Crawford rated it it was amazing. Probably biased as Brianna Wiest is my favourite author. But I think the way that she writes is beautiful and really gets you thinking and makes you start to question your beliefs and way of thinking. Thoroughly Enjoyed I thoroughly enjoyed the meanderings, musings, provocative thoughts and stimulating questions we all discuss with ourselves as we travel this road we call life. The most self-inspiring book I've ever read. I could read this over and over.
It's very refreshing and I highly recommend to help with soul searching. A good read full of wisdom and good advice on life and love that I mostly agree with. Life changing , if only by reading it you could apply some of these concepts and modify some of your beliefs, we all be happier. Easier said than done, I suppose, but a good reminder of the futile nature of life and the things we can change by will power, self awareness and compassion. The author simple and direct narrative makes it easy to follow and a very quick and enjoyable read.

This collection of essays had some really great insights. I read through it easily and quickly, which to some extent indicates that it held my interest. Was it the best book of philosophy ever? Sep 08, Nicki rated it really liked it. While I don't agree with all that she wrote or even stands for, I think she hits on some very real "truths". This book has a way of making you really think about all aspects of life- relationships, fears, hopes, dreams, and self worth. I would highly recommend reading it!
Apr 10, Caroline rated it liked it. Oct 23, Peg rated it really liked it Shelves: non-fiction , women-authors. Overall, this is a great read to come back to you if every need a little grounding in your life. Full of some cliches that you know and you know you know, but sometimes just need to see it. This was a good book and talked a lot about important lessons, but in order to read it you had to go into it with an open mind and readiness to accept these lessons.

The Truth About Everything asks you to challenge what you thought to be true, take the spiritual journey, and come out on the other end with your own story to tell. I read it and could not put it down for one night. I found the book incidentally and it surprisingly gave me ideas with my current problems. These are what I've get out from this great book.
She has shown her vulnerability with confidence and optimism. She has inspired me through her genuine emotions and wise thoughts. There is a sense of balance and healthy growth as a human throughout the book. I would highly recommend it for anyone who has been struggling to express oneself. It is not easy to come out the light when one feels scared of being out there. Life is an uncertain morphing of the beautiful and devastating, the reckless and ordained, the inconsequential and cataclysmal.
Brianna's writing style is very humble and down-to-earth, and gives one the impression that you're having a discussion over coffee rather than reading a book. A big theme in Brianna's writing is the idea of being satisfied with who you are and what your life is, and being able to appreciate the little joys in life. I consider myself to be a generally happy person, but I still got a lot out of this book, and it really got me thinking about how I live my life and interact with others.
I think for many of us, things are better than we tend to think, and Brianna is here to remind us of that.
