I have heard a friend talk about Oola and honestly the way she described it I wasn't sure what it was. My friend seems stressed trying to keep up with all the areas as the book suggests. I wanted to read this book to understand the concept a bit more. Honestly, I found it overwhelming. There are "success" stories but I find that it is more than I can possible do at one time.

I decided this concept is not for me. I feel called to slow down and not try to improve in every area of my life.

Love all of the ideas in this book and the wonderful message. It's a necessary one for people in the modern world to hear.

This is the type of book I love to highlight and make notes in. I loved Oola: Find Balance in an Unbalanced World so I figured I would enjoy this version too. I thought the personal stories were touching, I loved the perspective from Bible characters and I learned some new things that I want to try...one being “the green gap” which pertains to finances. This is a book I would pull off my shelf again and again in the future.

I feel like I might not be the targeting group for this book (40 year old who is essentially happy with my life). Lots of peppy advice (biblically based) on how to effectively thrive in different areas of life- finances, marriage, The idea of Oola grated on me. It’s taken from the word Oh la la and is means to signify a state of awesomeness, but the French phrase Oh la la is an exclamation if surprise with sexual connotations so I don’t really get the connection. That might have been a bit more interesting, mind you...
Probably a great self help book for younger people who are really trying to ‘adult’ as they say.
