- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Such a phenomenal book. With great tips and insight. Highly recommend!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very inspirational book, loved the audio book with each person reading their note to self
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved this audio book , the best part was the audio book I listened to had all the words read by the writer and I felt more connected to hear the words come out the person who wrote them .
If is a series of letter written to younger version of themselves and what they want to say to them .
It was beautiful and personal and I do recommend it . - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5it's really more like press releases than truthful letters to the past.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A book that unifies us, hearing other people's stories and connecting with them made me realise not only how not so different we all are but how we all fight to make our dreams come true and to live an impact in our own way.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was SUCH an amazing compilation of notes to younger selves from some high profile names. I never knew half of these backgrounds and it's so refreshing to be reminded that the people you see in the lime light are people just like me and you, who have had their own trials and tribulations. Some of these stories moved me to tears. I am grateful for having come across this short story collection
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Loved this audio book. It’s amazing how we are so alike as human beings. Everything has struggles. The only difference is what we do with what life throws at us.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It’s a perfect book to be inspired to keep at it (life and conquering). Loved being able to look into the window of world renown’s and take on a new quote that resonates.
