Due to a sudden, unexpected passing in the family a few years ago and another more recently and my subsequent (mental) health issues stemming from that, I was unable to download this book in time to review it before it was archived as I did not visit this site for several years after the bereavements. This meant I didn't read or venture onto netgalley for years as not only did it remind me of that person as they shared my passion for reading, but I also struggled to maintain interest in anything due to overwhelming depression. I was therefore unable to download this title in time and so I couldn't give a review as it wasn't successfully acquired before it was archived. The second issue that has happened with some of my other books is that I had them downloaded to one particular device and said device is now defunct, so I have no access to those books anymore, sadly.

This means I can't leave an accurate reflection of my feelings towards the book as I am unable to read it now and so I am leaving a message of explanation instead. I am now back to reading and reviewing full time as once considerable time had passed I have found that books have been helping me significantly in terms of my mindset and mental health - this was after having no interest in anything for quite a number of years after the passings. Anything requested and approved will be read and a review written and posted to Amazon (where I am a Hall of Famer & Top Reviewer), Goodreads (where I have several thousand friends and the same amount who follow my reviews) and Waterstones (or Barnes & Noble if the publisher is American based). Thank you for the opportunity and apologies for the inconvenience.

This is really practical info. There's virtually no fluff whatsoever, so it's really easy to implement these suggestions. Those seeking the traditional format of stories and examples to accompany advice will not likely be satisfied, but that does not diminish this book's value. Anyone will benefit from at least one section of this book. Recommended. Good stuff.

I really appreciate the review copy!!

IMHO, this book gives another way to look at cognitive/behavioral therapy approaches. The author's step by step suggestions may be easier for readers to understand than reading them in a psychology book.

Soul in the Storm by Nancy Wagaman is the most INSPIRING book I have ever read!
This is a book you will read over and over again. It continually lifts you up, teaches you, loves you, feeds your mind body and soul!

I was able to read this book via NetGalley

I enjoyed reading this book. In my opinion, it was a compilation of many other self help books and eastern philosophies but it was well done. I am not a big self-help book reader and the only ones I read are based on scientific research. However, there were many useful tips in this book I can use daily. I particularly liked the sections regarding responsibility (“Responsibility as a Tool for Stress”). I am guilty of stressing over things that are not really my responsibility so they should not be my concern.
