A well thought out book covering different aspects of life where stress can arise and strategies for staying calm at those times. Cheerfully written in a relatable way. Sometimes my mind slipped elsewhere while reading, but that's likely because I'm not calm enough! Yet to really implement the strategies but feeling hopeful for a calmer future.
As always laughable. She is so far out of touch with people with real lives and real issues. TBH after reading her last one I just checked this from my local library for the LOL factor
I'm a big fan of Fearne so I was always going to enjoy elements of this book. I didn't devour it as quickly or as intensely as I did "Happy", but it was a pleasant and uplifting read. I'm in two minds as to whether or not to read "Quiet" as I'm unsure how it can differ much from the first two books.
This book came at just the right time for me. Ferne rights with such an insightful but informal style that I felt more at ease straight away. Several sections of this book could have been written for me personally. I whole heartedly recommend the books and the calming tips that lie within.
This book is pretty, and definitely one for the coffee table but can’t see why it couldn’t just be called More Happy or something like this. It’s basically more on happiness and finding peace and being mindful and all those words would better describe the book then calm. It comes across I disliked the books I didn’t, I do like Fearne though and I think that helps, although the last chapter particularly has some fair points raised. P.sI like Happy more.
I enjoyed this book more than “happy” as I find the idea of being calm more relatable and sustainable in everyday life.I still found parts a little repetitive and some of it didn’t apply to me but over all I took some good advice from this book. It’s even just comforting to read someone else’s experiences with and without calmness in their life. Fearne talks about her mental health in a very honest way and opens up about the chaotic times in her life - which most of us probably experience to!
Absolutely loving this book, so much so I've just ordered 'Happy' & 'Quiet' too. Total game changer & made me realise I need to refocus & make changes to beat the anxieties that have been taking control of my life, before I can finally get back to being me.
Very similar to 'Happy' and repetitive in itself. The book had some interesting thoughts and advice, although I was distracted by the many typos. Worth dipping into for moments of calm.
3.5 stars. There is some similarities from her book HAPPY. Took some very useful tips from CALM though. This is definitely worth a read if you do feel thay life sometimes can be too much for you.
I’m sure lots of people will love this book and find it helpful but it just really wasn’t for me. I found it slightly too cliched and twee and very much just following a similar vein of books out at the moment addressing lifestyles, how to live, mood and mental health. While they all have their merits they’re all a little bit too much the same and so I found myself zoning out of this book quite a lot and it all seemed to be things that is said a lot. Just really not my type of thing.
Helpful for finding calm in life's current chaos 🌟
I didn't really connect with this book, skimmed it and gave up.
I really struggled to get into this book. I love Fearne herself but I found this very self indulgent and quite simplistic in its advice. I think there are far better self help books out there covering similar ground in a much more thought provoking and relevant way.
I don't know the order of publication of Cotton's Quiet, Happy and Calm but they're all one and the same, using a thesaurus to change the headings. They're very pretty hardbacks but really simplistic content, and could be summaries in a few pages This is the 3rd book of hers I'm reading (thankfully from the library and not purchased), coming to realise they're all the same, even some of the worksheets are the same!
I enjoyed the book and it helped give pause for thought about the stresses of life and how to allow calmness in. some good activities throughout. Not the most well written book and some parts felt a bit long winded for me but still an enjoyable and helpful read.
Another wonderful book by Fearne Cotton! I've underlined and circled so many parts of this as its so relatable. It's certainly taught me lots of little tips of how to be calmer and would definitely recommend it to others.
I like Fearne, I’d like to see more of her on the small screen but this book was not her best work! Anyone could write this! It could be summed up in one sentence: “don’t sweat the small stuff” What’s more, comparing your bodily functions to a prescribed timetable and not coming up trumps is not exactly calming! DNF, I’m out!
Words of wisdom ......... and take a deep breath!
A really good read. I love that it’s divided into sections and Fearne’s writing style is very relaxed and easy. A lot of people have criticised Fearne for mistakes - whatever they mean by this, I have to disagree. It was written very well and allowed her freedom to include what she wanted, when she wanted.
Didn’t finish this book ,felt it was a bit preachy and didn’t relate.
