The Review 📚 Small Changes
✨ The Title/Cover Draw:
- I recognized the author from a few movies and the premise really appealed to me. Thanks to Harper Horizon and @netgalley for letting me read this ahead of publication.
💜 What I liked:
- This book is truly accessible, breaking down the small ways you can make positive changes for yourself. It is supportive and insightful about how to improve your lifestyle without being overwhelming. I was especially appreciative about how the author “forgives” you by not condemning the instances where you might cheat on the plan. To be honest, this is not a diet, but a way to make a difference in yourself just one step at a time.
😱 What I didn’t like:
- The recipes in the back of the book, while truly helpful, did not totally appeal to me. But I am a picky eater, so they will definitely work for others. Some of the product suggestions were a little out of my price range also. That being said, you can certainly find alternatives based on her suggestions.
🚦 My face at the end: 😊
💭 5 Reasons to Read:

📘 Summary 📚 Small Changes
Deciding to improve your health, your consciousness, and the world can seem so overwhelming that you don’t know where to begin.

But she is here to share her own journey to forming better habits and show the ways that adopting the small changes philosophy has allowed her to find balance, eat better, and feel better physically and emotionally.

Incorporating more plant-based foods into your daily meals (easy recipes included!)
Making practical changes to your lifestyle, to better care for your body, community, and environment
Caring for your mind, spirit, and soul
