Kristen's energy is very infectious, and I was totally enthralled by the prospect of pairing my morning beverage (I'm a coffee snob) with making magical things happen in my life. There isn't enough fun literature out there testifying to the magic of coffee! So I bought this immediately thinking there would be new attestations to the wonders of enjoying coffee in the morning light, and how we may practise gratitude with such a pleasing daily ritual. Take control of your happiness, learn to love yourself, and get the life of your dreams . . . all with your next cup of coffee! The execution of the book was not necessarily my favorite. I thought that the language was a bit over the top at times and cringy. My biggest pet peeve was probably referencing research without like citing the research. I really think this book would have benefited if it did go into more in-depth of the type of research that the author had done. But I also don’t necessarily think that was her intention in writing this book to be a scientific and research base. She’s just really here to sell an idea and she did that. I’m not necessarily fond of books trying to sell itself.

I am prepared and ready to take this on.I’m the author of Coffee Self-Talk and romance novels (under the pen name Brisa Starr). I’m designing my life with intention.

Personalizing. When something bad occurs, you automatically blame yourself.

Essentials of Managing Stress. 4th ed. Burlington, Mass.: Jones & Bartlett Learning; 2021. Do you want to live an inspired life of sparkling adventure and achieve goals you never thought possible? Start with Coffee Self-Talk.

This was a great book at its core! The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because editing dropped the ball in a few areas (except grammar).
