Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Why
Isabelle Cornish · 2022
65/100
👎 Skip It
Cornish's seven-part structure is thorough and her personal history with eating disorder recovery gives the wellness content genuine weight rather than surface-level lifestyle advice. The secular approach with yoga and mindfulness woven in will not suit every reader, and the Australian launch footprint means the critical record outside that market is thin. A solid mid-range wellness book that does not quite break above a crowded field.
