Editorial Review

Open your mind to a whole new way of thinking, and let mindfulness take root.

A masterful compilation of self-help essays, Brianna Wiest's 101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think is the perfect audiobook for anyone looking to expand their emotional intelligence, become more self aware, or generally improve positive thinking and mindset. Wiest focuses mainly on philosophy-based writing, offering emotional and motivational pieces that help shape each listener's inner self and push them towards greatness.

An author and a poet, Brianna Wiest channels spirituality, mindfulness and intentionality in this series of essays. Each one will help listeners break bad habits and cultivate new thinking patterns. Together, the essays form a self-help book of sorts that actually teaches listeners how to use negative thinking—an inevitable occurrence—and shape it into real emotional maturity. This thought catalog will change the way you think about just about everything you once knew, opening your eyes to new possibilities and new ways of seeing the world.

This audiobook adaptation is read by experienced narrator Abby Craden, whose calm, clear and soothing voice is the perfect compliment for Wiest's words. She brings the serene introspective vibes of these essays to life, helping listeners to fall into a peaceful, thoughtful state. A great book for anyone looking to dive deeper into mindful thought, 101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think is a true game changer.

A lot of great lessons

I loved the overarching messaging of this book. Most thoughts and concepts were new to me, even if I've thought of them before but could never put them into words. I found the audiobook a hard format to follow along with since the whole book is structured as numbered points rather than a linear storytelling - if I paused the audiobook and returned to the same chapter later, I often forgot what the narrator was talking about.

At times I had to stop listening because the narration got on my nerves; the enunciation and inflictions were so strange.

Great boook

I love it! I actually brought the physical copy because I want to write it down all the work it’s in the book. I’ve been doing therapy for a few months and I find the work in this book as helpful as my therapist.

By considering different perspectives applied to our varied daily lives

Voices in my head

I expect to listen to this over and over while I go through my day. For whatever reasons the voices in my head have been harsh and critical. These new thoughts to consider and learn about what I THINK of me is gradually refreshing and replacing the old voices that no longer serve me (if they ever did).
Each item in each list is an opportunity for reflection and I've stopped the recording (and the car!) to really think about some of the points.
Generally, it's in the background and my attention cuts in and out. I'm good with serendipity deciding which catches my attention. At times it is subtle, with flashes of humor and deep insight.
I really enjoyed the list format. The narrator's voice - expressive, easy to listen to, and sometimes playful - connected me from the start. Well done!

I recommend this as a less regimented but very effective soft self check in. It is a book to share and discuss with another, or a book club.
