As someone who has battled depression for most of my adult life, I’ve read more self-help books than I care to admit—many of which left me feeling more discouraged than helped. Lillyin Love’s book was a welcome surprise. What really stood out to me was the book’s tone—compassionate, human, and never preachy. You can tell this book was written by someone who just gets it. The section on the power of social connection hit home the most for me. That’s always been a weak point in my own life, and reading about how important relationships are (and why they matter neurologically and emotionally) is helping me shift my mindset. If you’re struggling and tired of the more standard “just think positive” advice, I’d recommend giving this book a try. It won’t solve everything overnight, but it might just give you a path forward.
"Overcoming Anxiety and Depression" by Lillyin Love is a warm but essentially practical guide that mixes proven science with natural holistic healing. It's not just theory - it gives you some real tools, like mindfulness, breathwork, and CBT. Also, powerful exercises to calm you down and reframe those negative thoughts. What makes it partiuclalry good for me is the author’s way of putting it over. Stories (like Victoria’s inspiring journey) make hard concepts easier to understand. If you're struggling with anxiety and depression, or just looking for more peace in your life, this book will help, I'm sure. A must-read for anyone looking to heal.
In a world where stress and anxiety feel like the norm, this book is a breath of fresh air. It’s packed with practical, easy-to-apply strategies that actually make a difference—no overwhelming jargon, just real, helpful advice. Covering everything from cognitive behavioral therapy and visualization to massage, diet, and sleep, it explains the “why” behind anxiety and depression while giving you simple tools to manage them. The best part? The takeaways are quick to implement, so you can start feeling the benefits right away. Whether you're new to self-help or have read it all, this book is a must-read for anyone looking to bring a little more balance and calm into their life.
I got this book for myself and my menta health as struggles but loved it so much that I'll be sharing it with some family and friends too. The lovely designs go along nicely with the helpful messages and tools.
