Product Information

This book has given me so much to take away, and it is definitely one that I will reread/re-listen too. I'm sure I will get something new from it every time. I recommend this to anyone - whether you're a fan of Laura Whitmore or not. It makes you take a new stance on life, and being comfortable in your own skin!! We all have some people in life; whether they are your friends, relatives or cousins, who don’t like to see us succeeding. It is better not to give an ear to those people’s criticisms or de-motivation. Avoid negative people; focus on your goal and every day work towards achieving it.

Life’s challenging isn’t it and Laura’s book looks at self help in ways that you have the power to be your own hero. I LOVE that. In this book Laura discusses things like perspective, expectations and vulnerability. Along with beneficial advice that you can enforce yourself. We all have the power within us to save ourselves from anything. It’s a fun read with great advice. I love a good self help book, I always finish them and feel like I can conquer the world! 😂 I’ve read so many you would think I could be a life coach by now but nope I’m still learning and I think I always will be.

I absolutely loved this book, it came into my life just at the right moment - I was on nights (again), I was tired, burnt out, and stressed. Along with working in the NHS, I’ve had a lot of anxiety and home stress. When I think about this book, I only wish I had read it sooner. This is the type of book that is inclusive to everyone - male/female/non-binary etc, you can still take away all the great lessons and advice given no matter what gender/identity. I definitely got a lot from this book, and I loved the mixture of 'self-help'/'self-care' writing, along with anecdotes from Laura Whitmore's own life. It was nice to get a slightly closer look into Whitmore's early life too. She is a very private person, so there isn't too much detail but it was welcomed nevertheless. Each section ends with an affirmation, and a summary - which means that the book is good for dipping in and out as well as reading in one go (like I did!) I was looking forward to reading this book, No One Can Change Your Life Except For You, and having finished it I'm still not sure what I thought. Whilst at times I quite liked this book there were other times where I wasn't enjoying it at all.

Hold On” topped Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart for a week in April of 1990 and the Billboard Hot 100 for a week in June of 1990. A gentle and uplifting feminist first read. Great advice mixed with thoughtful anecdotes and real world examples. Thought provoking, empowering and most of all enjoyable! Laura tells us of her own struggles from heartbreaks to body image. A lot of which we can all relate too. The bottom line is that life is way too short to waste time with people who don’t treat you right. Surround yourself with people who lift you up when you’re down, and then return the favour when you’re able.”From an NHS nurse, thank you for this book @thewhitmore We probably all have the same thoughts about certain situations and life's moments, but only you alone should have control and power over your choices and how you choose to live your life ✨

Different people have a different way of looking at the same situation. It is your mind that filters how you see the world around you and how you interpret every situation. If your mindset is negative, you will find faults and negativity in every situation. But if you keep a positive outlook, you will find solutions in every problem. So always have a positive mindset no matter how negative the situation is. Many people talk a lot without knowing what they are talking about.
