Rating: 5 out of 5 stars. There are a lot of self-help books out there, and I've encountered ones that run the gamut from helpful to toxic, and this solidly falls on the helpful side. If you've ever struggled with your sense of self and self-worth, you know that there's some very unhelpful platitudes people love to repeat over and over. This book deviates from that - it's easy to read, understand, and is written in a way that doesn't feel condescending or empty in the slightest. I've used some of these techniques before and found them helpful, and discovered some new ones that I'm looking forward to trying. This isn't super new-agey either, so if you're not into overtly spiritual things, but want to work on improving your inner life, then I highly recommend grabbing this book. ~ Liliyana Shadowlyn (Reviewer), NetGalley

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars. Thoughtful and transformative! Reading this book left me feeling mindful and grateful. I would definitely recommend it for people looking for actions to make their life happier! ~ Sophia Grande-Lawlor (Reviewer), NetGalley

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars. Wow--this was a book that seemed to be written just for me. I thoroughly enjoyed the practice section after each chapter to really put the happiness tip to action in my life. Being mindful, meditation and changing the way I think were the biggest takeaways and I am determined to apply to my life starting today. I also loved the gratitude journaling section as well as the ego vs true self ideas. The author explained the true self idea in a way that I had never heard before and it was eye-opening. ~ Jessica Berg (Reviewer), NetGalley

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars. I adore the overall idea and message of this book. Self-love and care is so beautiful and important. I also love the A to Z format. I'd have to have this in print form, I'd enjoy it so much better. I would pick it up if I saw it in a book store. ~ Belle Hart (Reviewer) , NetGalley

Running at just 73 pages in length and featuring many small, visually-edible chapters that amount to a wealth of collective information, Creating Real Happiness A to Z: A Mindful Guide to Discovering, Loving, and Accepting Your True Self is more a novella than a book, but it also comes complete with a spiritual hug for the reader that adorns each and every page. Wherever you are on your journey to self-love, this book and its simple, bite-sized A to Z format are designed to make it easy for you to discover real happiness and deepen your relationship with your true self. The practices in this book will help you: Accept and love yourself as you are; Develop a healthy relationship with your body; Find the right partner; Feel empowered to change your life; Find real peace in a chaotic world. Creating Real Happiness A to Z is reminds us that as much as we may wish to have change in our lives, crave it, nay beg for it (due to both personal and professional situations), that change in and unto itself comes from practice. Teaching ourselves in what is wholly, and purposefully repetitive phases through this book, Stephani suggests we reprogram ourselves from the inside out, be patient, and soon enough changes will be seen and felt.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars. Creating Real Happiness A to Z is a book which I immediately connected with. This beautiful book shares honest and expressive ways to heal yourself. The book’s carefully written practices really drew me in, they were easy to apply, and adaptable for anyone. I found myself taking a note in my mind to become involved with these practices. The entirety of the book resonated with me, and some key parts of the self were not antagonized, instead they were shared with the idea of integrating them. This comforting tone was throughout the book. And I felt heard. I also liked that this book did not use techniques which are linked to toxic positivity, and instead the practices surrounded acceptance and self kindness through the spectrum of the emotions, including grief and sadness. I read this book very quickly because it was written through a mostly internal view, in other words it considered journaling and expressing yourself inwardly. I was initially skeptical about the way the book was written from A to Z but I soon found that this structure was playful and kept my intrigue. My only downfall about this book is a positive one - that I wish the book was longer. Overall I would recommend this book to anyone who is in need of inner healing, anyone who needs to integrate the parts of themselves they hide or repress and for anyone who wants a cosy, helpful and kind book. ~ Jessica Moody (Reviewer), NetGalley

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars. Creating Real Happiness A-Z is a wonderful daily guide to help you be in the moment and find peace in the here and now. A book I’m sure I'll come back to time again. ~ Michelle Coates (Reviewer), NetGalley

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars. This is a really helpful book. I opted to read it in one sitting and finished it in less than a day. There are some really good little exercises to follow. They don't take up much of your time but are really helpful in helping to wind down a little, find that calm or inner peace when you need it. I find myself flicking through when I need it and it's so well laid out in it's A to Z that it's very easy to find what you want. A lot of books like this can be very long winded and I've found I lose interest. I just want something I can dip and out of and this is it. Would highly recommend. 8/10 ~ Tiree Robinson (Reviewer) , NetGalley

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars. Creating Real Happiness A to Z is a nice book that will bring awareness and mindfulness as to what you can do to be more happy and have a better understanding of your true self. The book is written in a way that makes it really easy to read with each method being organised into alphabetical order and a page is used to describe the purpose and practice of each method. I don't think there's anything in here that's particularly new to me or that I've not heard before but it's still a really lovely book and I did enjoy reading it. This is a great way to make you more mindful of what you can do to work towards a happier and more mindful life and with each method being so short and achievable I think this makes it a great book to dip in and out of.
