Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
From Stress to Stillness
Gina Lake · 2013
71/100
👍 Worth It
Gina Lake brings real counseling experience and clear writing to what can be an overcrowded genre, and the practical exercises give readers something to actually do with her nondual wisdom teachings. Readers who connect with Eckhart Tolle or Byron Katie will find this a natural next step, and many report genuine relief from anxiety and stress. Traditional faith readers should know the framework is contemplative-spiritual rather than grounded in any specific religion.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: Nondual/New Age spiritual framework; not grounded in orthodox Christianity or any specific religion — may not align with traditional faith readers. We still scored it 71; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
