Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for a copy of Pocket Therapy, Mental Notes for Everyday Happiness, Confidence, and Calm by Sarah Crosby to review. Even though the title of the book has the word therapy as part of the title, this is not a therapy book. What I find great about it is that it feels like your therapist, after helping you for a few sessions with a particular issue, has given you a fantastic set of notes for you to keep and review. This is invaluable because you can't remember everything that was discussed. Each issue discussed in the book is its own standalone chapter and does not need to be read in order. Read and work on what is important to you. Each chapter also has "Take 5" features that have exercises for you to do. And at the end of each chapter is "Mental Notes", questions you ask yourself at the end of each day for a month so that you have your own resource of how you are thinking about the issue and ways to improve. This is absolutely a book that you will refer back to throughout the years or as an aid to help with your own therapy.
