I did not enjoy this book. It was not what I thought it would be at all. It is literally 365 quotes or poems from all different resources. I envisioned the book being about what the title implies, ways to find peace, but the poems and quotes in the book do nothing of the sort.

A very practical book, very well organized. I loved the way the author expressed the solutions for each day of the year. Congrats!

Thank you Watkins and Netgalley for an ARC of this book.

If you are looking for a collection of quotes to read, this book may be just what you are looking for. If however you are looking for ways to find peace you may be disappointed. This is a collection of 365 quotes relating to peace. A pleasant enough book to open for inspiration but I felt the title amd premise was misleading.

Thank you for this ARC in return for my honest review.

This is a book of 365 quotes. This book really did not help me find peace. It is an interesting collection of quotes, some are motivational but just reading a book of quotes does not help me find peace. If you enjoy reading quotes then this may be a book for you.

I voluntarily agreed to read a copy of this book supplied by NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own and in no way have been influenced.

I thought this would be more interactive but it's just quotes from different people or literary works. They are organized by topic so it's simple to find quotes on a particular subject. That seems useful. It's not what I expected but it's not a bad book.

I would give this ten stars if I could. I refer back to it often! Beautiful and helpful in so many ways!

This is basically a collection of quotes and thoughts put forward by some great personalities in regards to finding peace, within and around you. While the quotes selected are great and all, I wasn't expecting only that which is why I was a bit disappointed. I was all the more heartbroken because the palette is so aesthetic and calming, and look at that cover! Maybe a few techniques and practical approaches could've been added to make it a more balanced self-help book "to find peace" rather than just a book with quotes about peace. I do recommend this if you're only looking for a good collection of quotes to help you start/end your day with for the next year but if you're looking to actually read about ways to find peace, then start looking somewhere else.

As a full time carer for my mum who is diabetic, has Menieres Disease, arthritis etc for ten years and then more recently my dad who has mixed dementia which consists of Vascular & Alzheimers, I am er. . .busy and naturally get stressed. Added to my own health issues I am always looking for ways to feel peaceful or de-stress so when I came across 365 ways to find peace I thought it may be helpful for me to read it.


The byline says, "meditations and inspirations" and that made me even more eager to read the book. The cover is a colour that is often used to represent calm and peace and features what I would say are koi fish and to symbolise calm well.


The genres this book falls into are self help, and I would also put it into the gift book category.


The book consists of different things well known people have said such as,

"A DROP IN THE OCEAN, We ourselves feel that we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But if that drop was not in the ocean, I think the ocean would be less because of that missing drop." - Mother Teresa of Calcutta, 1910-1997, India.

And the following second example.

"COMPASSION, If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete." - The Buddha c.c.483bce, India.


This was quite interesting to read as an ebook, but personally I think it would make a brilliant gift idea for someone. As I think a physical copy of this book would be easily dipped in and out of on a daily basis throughout the year.

This is a beautiful book. I think it is a book for everyone. There are so many nuggets of inspiration to fit any aspect of life. Inner peace is very comforting. Thanks to Watkins’s Publishing and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Words of wisdom from some of the world's greatest thinkers. A way to see our lives in a deeply thoughtful way. A pleasant read for the restless cluttered mind.

''365 Ways to Find Peace by Marcus Braybrooke ''

NOT BAD!!
Its therapeutic.
And by peace it meant Mental peace not World peace! :D

This book provides 365 quotes, arranged in general themes. While many of the quotes are truly inspiring, I'm not sure the title of the book sits quite right. I think it is more 365 'thoughts for the day' and wasn't always sure of the connection to finding peace, other than that they are wise words which, if heeded, could lead you towards living a good life.

What I really like about this book is that after each quote, we are given the dates of the writer and also the country where they live(d). Many of the writers were known to me, but others were new and it made such a difference to know whether they were writing 1000 years ago or are still alive today.

I had a slight technical issue as I wanted to read the book on my Kindle and the use of pale green and grey text meant that it was not at all easy to read as the text was so feint. I read it using the Kindle app on my Ipad and that was a lot easier. I think this is probably a book to buy in hard copy so that you can pick it up and flick through.

If you are looking for inspirational quotes you will not be disappointed by this book, but if you are looking for something that provides more specific advice/guidance on working towards inner peace it is probably not the book for you.

This is just a book of quotes. I wasn't aware of that before downloading it. I didn't feel a sense of peace from reading this book. I just wanted to get through it. Sorry!

An interesting read.
Gives you ideas on how to find inner peace.
Thank you to both NetGalley and Watkins Publishing for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my review

Thank you Netgalley for this copy.
A big collection of quotes that helps you to find your peace. I think this book may help some people more tgan others.

This book contains more quotes than techniques. I liked some of them but it is not my type of book. I think i expected something else.

An excellent guide on how to find peace.

This is a book I will go to again and again

Thank you for letting me read it in an exchange for an honest review.
