Notable Book Reviews
"Guy Kawasaki is a wonder. I don't know anyone as relentlessly enthusiastic about helping other people be their best.
Think Remarkable
is an expression of that ebullience, and I recommend it to anyone who is hoping to make themselves―and the world―better than they are today."
Angela Duckworth
I loved how transparent the writing was. You could really follow the author’s journey from beginning to end. The letters from the author to the reader and also to the universe at the beginning and end of each chapter was a creative touch. As a mental health professional, I liked the emphasis on mindfulness concepts such as accepting feelings as they come rather than fighting the urge to resist them.

I thoroughly enjoyed this easy read. I loved how the author, Dawna Campbell, crafted an intriguing story of Kristol's journey toward discovering her soul's purpose in life. I highly recommend The Abundant Soul to all seeking insight into gaining more abundance, happiness, and love in their lives.
