This book was a lot of essays from the authors life attempting to describe how to implement the ideas being taught. I enjoyed reading about the authors life and feel that it added to the book. However, I did feel that I've heard much of it before.

Thank you netgalley and publisher for providing me with a review copy in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion of it.

In my opinion, something about this book is not right. The intention behind it and the topic being tackled is a big issue nowadays for people everywhere, but as someone who had high levels of anxiety it before, I know this book wouldn't do much for me. Amber starts with a preface that sounds a bit promising stating that she wants to write a book that would make "people" upset but the whole book just sounds like ongoing rambling.Nothing in this book is new or innovative comparing to what has been released in self-help. In my opinion, Amber tried to replicate "The subtle art of not Giving an F$$$" but failed.  Her Ted talk and Instagram feed are nice though. 
I would not buy this book for me or my teenage daughter(if I had one).

I received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I had a hard time finishing this book. The author has her heart in the right place but the book didn't seem to have much substance to it and wasn't very helpful. Maybe for a younger (teenage) audience it would do better. I didn't feel like I learned anything new to help me and the information was covered in a more engaging way in other self help books.

‘Choose Wonder Over Worry’ Move Beyond Fear and Doubt to Unlock Your Full Potential
by Amber Rae is marketed as a self-help book. 

I want to be very careful how I review this book.  I want the author to know I appreciate all her hard work. I appreciate her baring her soul to share her experiences. I appreciate her ‘putting herself out there’ to write ‘Choose Wonder Over Worry”.  I want her to continue on her wonder path.  

My view however is less than wonder-filled. This is a book of one person’s experiences to achieve ‘Wonder’.  It is a compilation of essays about the author’s experiences. It is full of ‘motivational’ quotes from various people she has read and/or met. While the essays help to show how the author achieved her ‘Wonder’, it did not assist me in my journey.  I truthfully would not call this a self-help book in the general sense.  The book encourages the readers to start a ‘wonder journal’ but does not familiarize the reader with how to do that. I feel she assumes too much by expecting everyone who reads her book to know what to do.  I also was not impressed, nor swayed by the continued use of four letter expletives. It does in no way assist in the understanding of this book. Frankly it was a detractor. 

I encourage Ms. Rae to continue to write, maybe fiction,  and follow her ‘wonder journey’.  

I would like to thank NetGalley, Ms. Rae, St. Martin's Press and Wednesday Books for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I realise that these days we are all looking for a book with an 'authentic voice' and that motif alone is becoming a cliche. However, in this book the author has somehow nailed it, and her thought journey is like I am reading answers to questions I have been asking. If you are wondering whether you should create, or strike out on your own this book will make you feel like someone really understands. And that is valuable.

Nothing bad here. Some SARK-like lettering and ideas, but longer form. However, lots of personal illustrations of her ideas that didn’t resonate for me. Much of self-help is same info in different format. Looking for a format that rings a bell. But, this one didn’t really do that for me.

As a 'self-help' book, this didn't really do a lot for me. It's more like a load of anecdotal essays from the author about her experiences, interspersed with some 'motivational' quotes which seem to be the extent of the 'self-help' bit. Admittedly the anecdotes help to apply some of the guidance, but I certainly wouldn't have marketed this as a self-help book. If I had bought this with that belief in mind, I would have been sorely disappointed.
