Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
Gratitude
Derek O'Neill · 2016
38/100
👎 Skip It
Derek O'Neill brings an interesting mix of psychotherapy and spiritual-teacher background, but this is a very short, low-cost entry in a bigger series, and there's no independent review to tell us whether it delivers. The spiritual framing draws from yogic and Tibetan influences rather than one clear tradition, so it's more of a spiritual grab-bag than a focused read.
✦ 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: Eclectic spiritual framing (yogic/Tibetan mystical influences) rather than a single, traditional faith perspective. We still scored it 38; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
