I LOVE THIS BOOK! Self-help can be a bit of a drag sometimes. but I found this uplifting, helpful and refreshing in it's unique takes and opinions. Really felt like this taught me some solid lessons.

I really like the title, it made me super excited to read the book. The information and advice were a bit basic though, I didn't learn anything new - that was a bit disappointing. I liked the writing style and the cover. It's fun to read, but not super new if you've read many self-help books.

Stuff Nobody Taught You?

Gold title! I was hooked on that before I read the blurb.

What is the appeal of this book?

Don’t we all feel behind the 8ball? Like other people have things figured out and we’re just sitting here, hoping someone catches us up?

Anyone? Just me? That’s fine too.

Because this book helps close the gaps.

Was it groundbreaking in its content? Nope. But it did feel like the advice (exercise, journaling, etc.) was coming from a friend, and that hits harder for me than just “knowing what to do.”

It’s a good refresher overall. Solid 3.6 (rounded up).

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

If you are looking a for a ground-breaking personal-grpwth advice this is not the right book. The advice was basic at best and nothing I have not heard before. Advice is: exercise, journaling, meditation, getting enough sleep, etc. However, I think this may be good and easy imformation for people that need it. It is about getting your struggles down on paper and self-reflection.

I thought the title of this book was completely wrong for the content providided. WIth the title something that was expected was learning important information from somewhere or teaching yourself. There was no humor in this self-help/advice book; it was pretty serious.

Overall, this was not the best self-help/advice book out there. It was just ok and basic.

Thanks to Netgalley, Summer McStravick and HCI Books for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Already available.

Thank you NetGalley for giving me the chance to read this book ahead of time in exchange for a review. It didn't disappoint! Must read!!

Interesting and well written I just personally couldn’t get into the story. Difficult to follow at times and a little slow. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I just reviewed Stuff Nobody Taught You by Summer McStravick. #StuffNobodyTaughtYou #NetGalley
[NetGalley URL] This is the book I have needed my whole life!!

I'm sorry, but for this avid reader, I really tried hard to stay focused on this author's writing, but failed, several times. I'm goung to have to pass, perhaps if one is a fan of hers, this reader isn't.

Sometimes you come across a book that is a buffet when all you subscribed for was a la carte- and I felt this way with this book. The title should have given me a hint but the content is so diverse and detailed with prompts at the end of each chapter to help improve on various things from mindfulness, communication, journaling, exercise and a lot more.
It's on personal growth and self development and what makes this a unique read is that anyone who picks this book has the option of reading from a chapter they feel directly targets an area they are struggling with.
Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.

Not bad. Pretty basic, but good enough. I skipped around and read applicable sections. Good for a free read.

I definitely wasn’t the target audience for this. This seemed more focused towards someone going through a midlife crisis. The chapters felt drug out and there was more backstory than I thought it needed. I did like how the author “kept it real” for lack of better terms.

Gives lots of exercises to engage in mindfulness practice in living a better life. Some sections hit more than others, so will probably be a mixed bag for anyone who is looking to read.
