Book Review by: Jim “Gymbeaux” Brown, January 10,

Anything in BLUE is a linkable entry
This is another of the many books I have read where I cannot possibly
imagine that anyone who reads it would not come away without receiving positive
tips on improving their life. It is also
one of the many books I only wish I had available and had read when I was a
teenager in high school.
If you only read the title, Quieting Your Brain, you may not pick up the
book to read it because the title would suggest a more specific topic than what
is actually covered throughout the book.
The subtitle puts more emphasis on the “stress management” than on the
“effective (life) habits” covered in the book.
It is all about forming the kind of habits that everyone should want in
their life. Once formed, stress becomes
far more manageable than if you do nothing to acknowledge the areas of your
life where you require better habits.
Silva has written a gem!
Surprisingly it is a quick read and even more surprisingly was the cost
of this gem, only $2.99 as a Kindle read.
You read that correctly, only $2.99 so how could you NOT read it if
price were the only issue?
One paragraph from the book says it all:
“It’s taken a while to develop the voice that
is inside of us. It is a combination of the people who raised us, the friends
we surround ourselves with, the shows and movies we choose to watch, the books
we’ve read, the lessons we’ve learned, and everything in between. It is your
voice, but it is also inspired by the things that other people have helped
ignite within you.”
It's also about such things as the books we have NOT read. What have you read recently that could make
significant changes in your life and your future? If you can’t name one, start now by reading
this one!
The last two paragraphs in the book form a perfect conclusion while at
the same time give you a reason to want to read this book:
“Life is about balance, and you are the only one who can determine its
stability.
You will get there. You will still have days where everything feels
terrible, and your life won’t be free from moments of fear and anxiety. With
the right tools and a focused mind, though, you can choose whether you’ll let
these aspects destroy you or create the strong person that you are.”
Would I read this book again? I
would definitely read sections of it as needed.
Who should read this book? That is
an easy question, anyone and everyone who desires to take charge of their life
and improve upon it where they can and should, therefore, everyone should read
it. What have you got to lose?
Would I give this book as a gift?
Absolutely
