Title: Gem!
Review: This book is a gem—an absolute gem! As a mental health therapist, I have read many self-help books, but this is not your average one. There’s nothing stale or canned about the statements and concepts presented here! Julie shares incredible information that is both broadly applicable and uniquely supportive. I highly recommend this read; you won't regret the purchase and won’t be able to put it down!

Title: Very educational
Review: It was very educational and enjoyable to read. I learned so much. Mostly life skills were taught and some of the information one could pay a fortune to obtain the knowledge from an expensive college university. I may read at least one more time to master the book. I will also look for more books from Dr. Julie Smith. She is one of my new favorite authors.

Title: Excellent resource
Review: I picked up this book because I thought it would be similar to Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottleib, which is one of my favorites. It's similar, though much more detailed. The first chapters are very good, but I kind of got lost in the extremely detailed part about stress. Overall, it's a good book and has prompted me to seek more information about mental health. Definitely recommended!

Title: A must read
Review: I watched Dr. Julie on YouTube and I love her short videos. The book goes into great detail how to improve and look at things differently. This book has many Suggestions how to make your life work a little better. If one doesn’t quite work, then she suggested another. She is truly an inspiration and a motivator. I highly recommend this book.

Review: Excelente libro que acabo de terminar (me llevo exactamente dos meses leerlo). 100% recomendable.Muy buena herramienta para conocer mucho de lo que hay atrás de la forma en la que nos relacionamos con los demás, aprender a escuchar nuestro cuerpo, identificar el porqué de nuestras emociones y como manejarlas. Vale la pena aclarar que NO es un libro de pensamiento positivo. Además me permitió asociar muchas ideas y conceptos con principios bíblicos para mejorar nuestra salud mental, física y relacional.

Review: I regularly watch Dr Julie Smiths YouTube channel, for her 1min daily shorts of which I find extremely helpful. When I realized that she had also written a book, I HAD to purchase a copy that very same day. And I'm NOT disappointed!! I absolutely love this book, plus it's the type that can be re read 100×. It has quite a few very helpful yet simple diagrams as well. (Not the kind that turn your brain into spaghetti and make you want to run screaming into the hills). A lot of books in this category are, or can be difficult, or overwhelming to read. (Also turning ones brain into spaghetti and wanting to scream).Dr Julie's book practically reads itself.Don't mistake its simplicity for being powerless however. It's beyond fantastic and beautifully written!!! Genius is what it is.. As others have mentioned, a lot of it is foundational. That said, personally, I need reminding of the foundational things and so I really like this particular book for this reason too. My only error is that I accidentally purchased the hard copy rather than the soft cover. Aside from underlining, making notes etcetera, this is the type of book you'll want to bring with you in a purse, backpack, briefcase.. So the hard cover makes that difficult in my case at least. If you prefer hardcovers, you'll be very happy with it. The Four Agreements book set by Don Miguel Ruiz are my ABSOLUTE can not live without book set. To the point that over the past 20yrs or more, I always have one of the 4 in my purse. They never get old. As life changes, of course so do we. To find a book(s) that not only can stand the test of time, but also never fail to be applicable meeting you where you are at, throughout ones lifetime, is a very rare thing indeed. Why Haven't I Heard This Before, is one of these oh so very rare books too. I'll most definitely be purchasing the soft cover so that I can have it on me at all times as well. After spending many years reading and spending I don't even want to think about how much money on Self Help books, between the 4 book set by Ruiz, and this one, they are truly the only books you'll ever need!! I also own The Body Keeps Score, among many other well-known / popular ones, newer and older. I NEVER reach for any of them, or even think that maybe I should, after purchasing and reading this one 3 times heading towards my 4th, as well as my Four Agreements set.1000 🌟 stars in my book reading experience for this category, and HIGHLY recommend for anyone new or experienced, with doing important self help, self care, understanding trauma, and or generally working towards becoming healed and healthy again. If you're been sitting on the fence, or trying to decide which book to buy from the many, GET THIS one! It's worth every penny and then some. If appropriate, this book will make for a lovely, caring gift for people of all ages. And again, be it for someone just starting their journey, to the semi jaded experienced person like myself, who totally gave up on any new books. I have been, and am so, SO beyond grateful and HAPPY to have found this gem of a book!! Hope this helps 🙂

Review: If you are looking for a "tell me the magical sentence that would make me feel great without me moving a finger".. Then this book is not for you. This book does not fall into the clichés of shouting loud to you with the idea that you can visualise being successful and it will happen in 5 minutes. It also does not fall into the category of telling you maddup elaborated stories about its author or other people.If you are the kind of person that can reflect on their own life and take responsibility for it.. Then this book is life changing and will probably change the way you think of yourself. You'll stop blaming yourself for the things that did not work. The book contains many more ideas, explained in a way for everyone to understand. It is comfortable to read, since it has big enough letters and a nice texture as a binded book, and it is explained in an easy to understand, well structured way. It is obviously to me that it has been mind fully written and carefully edited.O would describe this book as a tool-box for your mood. It tells you how to "fix" everyday bad feelings.This is probably the best self-help book I have ever owner. I can recommend it.

Review: I enjoyed this book. It’s well laid out and easy to read. The writer covers enough topics to get you started and going on a mental heath journey. What I found most useful was her look at values. It did get me started on thinking about my own values and from what she explored I started to understand I did value the values of fairness and bravery. There’s also a great section regarding anxiety. I only went through anxiety mildly but going through and writing as encouraged questions asked in that section did help me explore some of my issues. I’m glad I got it and would recommend to have or gift. It’s lovely, useful and safe.
