Quiet: Learning to silence the brain chatter and believing that you're good enough by Fearne Cotton
rzanfy's review against another edition
3.0
A good overview of meditation and boundaries and methods to quiet those inner voices. I agree with others that it’s a somewhat simplistic way of approaching these topics but it’s perfect for a beginner and especially good for those who aren’t avid readers to get their teeth stuck into. Probably best for 15-25 audience and those in life transitions.

All of Fearne’s books are beautifully written as they take an open and honest approach to difficult and challenging subjects relating to the brain and perception of ourselves, and are aesthetically pleasing with illustrations scattered through making you smile ☺️
I’ve read all three now and I find them practical and useful offering advice on how to deal with our emotions, negative thoughts and negative inner chatter so much so it’s like having a conversation with someone you know.
I love the interactive elements that help you to analyse the inner workings of your own mind to start to work on your own mental barriers, and help bring some much needed positivity. Along with interviews from a variety of different people which help widen your perspective on a range of topics providing inspiration and peaking curiosity

The book is a mix of stories and interviews that I found unrelatable, which are supposed to offer support and direction toward focus in life. I found the effect was the opposite, it made me irritable and frustrated, i felt bad for scientific distortions, and use of single examples as evidence...

I liked this book, it was very easy to read.
It just wasn’t for me, i feel like it’s written for a younger audience but still a good read!

This is the 2nd book with the theme of Quiet that I've picked up this year!
I think the Quiet is something I search for or definitely need in my life.
The Quiet is something I really appreciate!
Being at peace with your own thoughts and sitting in the Quiet is not something we can often do!
Fearne talks about the bad inner voice that is often in our head that has the power to overthrow gut instincts and deter us away from new adventures.
If we access the quiet of our mind, then it can open up hidden courage, beauty, wisdom, and belief in ourselves.
Fearne includes expert advice, ideas to put into practice, activities to complete, and interviews with Bryony Gordon, Billie Piper, and many others!
I find I escape into books to quiet my mind and to distract me from things but maybe I do need to sit with my own thoughts and work my way through them to make myself feel better about me, my choices, my daily battles.
This is a very good book that encourages positive thinking! So that's a win in my book! Xx
So it's a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read from me! 🤓
