Be (Extra)Ordinary: Ten Ways To Become Your Own Hero

Openly Bookish2 Comments

If you need a short book to grab when you need inspiration, advice, and a great memoir then I recommend this slim gem. I think this book would make a great gift for a high school graduate or college graduate.

Maryanne talks about her life struggles, triumphs and things that encourage her in ways she and us can be our own hero’s. Topics she covers are: vulnerability, uniqueness, generosity, kindness, weirdness, openness, bravery and balance. At the end of the book is a journal section with writing prompts.

I received my complimentary copy of Be (Extra)Ordinary: Ten always To Be Your Own Hero by Maryanne Christians-Mistretta care of KiCam Projects. The views and comments are mine, of my own accord.

I’m not hugely into science, but I have been into reading books lately on the topic of the Law Of Attraction. This book not only explains the Law Of Attraction, but how science plays into their principles. The principles are: Abundance, Manifestation, Patience, Harmony and Universal Connection. Also, the author goes over how much more impressive our brains are and how we can consciously change our lives in so many simple ways. I have never thought of my brain as being elastic or agile.

This book is very brainy, but I’ve learned a lot. I think it’s helpful in showing the correlation between being aware of our physical, emotional and spiritual health and how it’s all interconnected with how it all helps our brain function to the max. I’ve previously read a bit on the subject of the Law Of Attraction and this book brings it even more to life from a scientific angle.

I received my complimentary copy of The Source by Tara Swart, MD, PhD from Harper One, care of TLC Book Tours. The views expressed are mine and of my own will. If you want to grab a copy click here. To find out more about the author, Tara Swart check out her website. If you love self-help books with a science theme then you’ll love this book. I’m definitely going to need to read this book again to highlight and notate a bunch.
