Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of this book. Reviewing this book was my choice. All opinions about the book are my own.

Did I enjoy this book? I did enjoy this book. I have read quite a few personal and professional development books, and I’m always looking for more to read. What I like about Your Time to Thrive is that the chapters are short and focused. Just enough to start or end your day. Is the information new? No, I’ve read similar advice in other books. But I love how it is presented. The microstep breakdowns and the questions at the end of each chapter give you something to focus on and apply. I think this will be a good book to revisit every now and then, or even once a year, especially to go over those microstep breakdowns and questions to be sure you are on track and making progress.

Would I recommend it? Sure! If you like reading personal development books, this is a good one. Just be aware that most of the ideas aren’t new, but the ideas are easy to follow and implement.
 

 
About the book – from Goodreads: Live the life you want, not the life you settle for.
Helping people build healthy new habits that improve their lives is more important than ever. Arianna Huffington launched Thrive Global to do just that–Thrive’s specific mission is to end the epidemic of stress and burnout and help individuals and companies unlock their greatest potential. Science continues to show that we don’t have to sacrifice our well-being in order to succeed; in fact, it turns out that well-being is critical to peak performance. Learning to thrive means:
Moving from awareness to action – from knowing what to do to actually doing it
Embracing solutions that appeal to wisdom, wonder, intuition, reflection, and are steeped in science
Taking the time to rest and recover in order to fuel and maximize productivity, both personal and professional
Making the mindset shifts and habit changes that supercharge performance in ways that truly matter to us

Eschewing trendy self-care fixes or the latest health fads, Your Time to Thrive is the revolutionary guide to living and working based on Microsteps–tiny, science-backed changes. By making them too-small-to fail, we can incorporate them into our daily lives right away, and begin building healthier ways of living and working. This book is a Microstep bible. With chapters dedicated to sleep, nutrition, movement, focus and prioritization, communication and relationships, unplugging and recharging, creativity and inspiration, and purpose/meaning, Your Time to Thrive shares practical, usable, research-supported mini-habits that will yield huge benefits and empower people to truly thrive in all parts of their lives.
