ABOUT THE BOOK

Title: The Negativity Remedy
Author: Nicole J. Phillips
Publisher: Baker Books
Release Date: September 1, 2020

Genre: Christian Living and Self-Help

We're all pretty nice people, right? It's just that occasionally we're tempted to gossip or indulge in a little justified road rage . . . or snap at our spouse . . . maybe scream at our kids . . . I mean, if everyone else would get with the program, we wouldn't be this way!

But maybe the trouble isn't with all those other people who aggravate us. Maybe we're the problem--specifically, the way we react to inconveniences, accidents, and just plain old everyday life with negative words, thoughts, and actions. Because the truth is, when we stop focusing on how we're being affected and start responding in kind ways, that's when something remarkable happens: we actually feel happier ourselves.

With humor, compassion, and encouragement, Nicole Phillips draws on scientific research and real-life examples to help us recognize unhelpful negative thought patterns, show kindness toward others even when we don't feel like it, and discover how one little change actually changes everything.

My Review💛

I have always considered myself a pretty kind person. I always am as polite as I can be, and try to put the needs of others before my own, but I've never really sat and thought about my level of kindness, and where I lack, until I picked up The Negativity Remedy.

Most nonfiction books are easy to get lost in the information, but The Negativity Remedy is so engaging! Filled to the brim with personal stories from the author, as well as other acquaintances, you feel like you're chatting in a coffee shop with friends rather than reading about these instances.

Though a bit redundant, and on the repetitive side, with a topic like kindness I believe this to be an unavoidable trait. Plus, the stories kept the book fresh and intriguing, which helps break up the repetition.

Since reading this book I have already caught myself unconsciously doing some of the things recommended, especially since COVID, and all of the negativity that is currently in our world, which has seeped into my own life, but I truly believe Nicole Phillips has found the best cure for negativity, and I plan to fight the negativity with kindness! Thank you Nicole Phillips for a positive, uplifting, and motivational read!

My Rating: ★★★★
