John Murray Learning The Book of Moods: How I Turned My Worst Emotions Into My Best Life

The Book of Moods was amazing.As you begin to read about each MOOD, they are explained so perfectly with Lauren's personal experience stories plus research and the science behind how the MOOD comes about. I resonated so many time with her stories and triggers. Laurens practices of how to shift perspective and find a better way to balance emotions are easy to implement to make big changes quickly.I felt while I was reading that there was a veil lifted and I could see myself with clearer eyes. I will revisit the book often, especially when I am "in a MOOD"Thank you Lauren for sharing your most raw & authentic self with us. I look forward to your future books. Congratulations!!!!!

First off, I read this book in two days, which I never do! Lauren's writing pulls you in (you'll never get bored). She incorporates science/data research to explain certain emotions/moods, which I found incredibly interesting. The quotes throughout the book are powerful. As a female in her thirties I found this book to be so relatable. Like, yep, that's me, I've done that, thought that... She's incredibly honest and vulnerable, which is what ultimately connected me to the book. Also, the way she evaluates her moods and understands where they're coming from, allows us all to change our perspective on life. As she said, maybe my flight is delayed because I'm meant to meet someone. "...it reminds us that the greatest things that happen are usually the result of something worse that happened before." Also, this line is simple, brilliant, and true: "That's where magic happens - in the space in between what we think we want and what we get. When we're forced down a road we wouldn't be on if everything had worked out as we hoped." Enjoy!

This book was the warm, motivational, "I was there too" hug I needed to keep moving forward during a time when I felt stuck, when I had the moods. Of course they keep coming , but now I don't feel lonely anymore. I admire Lauren for all the hard work she put into this book, for following her dreams and motivating us to do that too!

If that quote (picture on inside jacket of hardcover) resonates with you, this book is for you. From one of my favorite IG accounts comes this book!If you are looking to understand yourself better as a woman and are on a self help/self discovery journey, this book is great! It feels like you are getting to know a new girl-friend that you are excited to get to know because she seems to “get you”. Lauren Martin’s book is a fun read that leaves you being more introspective and creates the space needed if you have difficulty shaking of unsettling feelings or moods. I think if you are struggling with handling your emotions and feel like you feel “too much” and wish you didn’t dwell or get worked up so much... you will enjoy this book. It has so many quotes and nuggets of information that you will want to refer back to it or look into the topics more.I am also not one to finish books and have a bunch of books I have started but have never completed. This book had me wanting to read it every chance I could get and I finished it within a week! I originally wanted to highlight the book but soon realized I would be highlighting almost everything so I just earmarked the pages that were extra important to me.

Words of Women has been one of my favourite instagram accounts ever since I first discovered it through a friend of mine (if you don’t already follow this account - DO IT!). The quotes are so wonderful and inspirational. As soon as “The Book of Moods” was released on pre-order I quickly placed my order. And I have not been disappointed! Lauren has a wonderful way with words and has done an incredible job inviting you into her personal journey with her inner most thoughts, moods, and emotions. If you are someone who loves self development I would highly recommend. Lauren is relatable and informative - can’t wait to see what she does next!
