Dare To Choose Happy by Darienne Mobley Review

Even though I am not usually a Fiction reader, I was so excited to have the opportunity to read Dare to Choose Happy by Darienne Mobley. Dare to Choose Happy is a reset for your mind. It is what Type A people dream about and what Type B people make as their goals.

In the beginning of the book we are given advice on how to approach our reading journey. Dare to Choose Happy is divided into four Intentional Action Pillars; Intuition, Clarity, Priority and Truth. Darienne references some amazing authors such as Brene Brown, Stephen R Covey and Marie Kondo while taking us through her Pillars of choosing happy.

As we go through each pillar, we are given tools to help us navigate them. Mindmapping, meditation, batching, journaling and so many other amazing ideas. Each tool that is given also has examples as well as step-by-step applicable instructions on how to successfully complete it. Sometimes even the most simple things can feel like a marathon when we start, so having small and easy steps makes each task much easier to tackle. At the end of each Pillar, Darienne walks us through guiding questions to reflect on before moving on to the next.

Dare to Choose Happy is more like a tool kit than a book. My favorite part of this book was her Productivity Pillar. Darienne reminds us that there is more than just physical clutter in our lives, but also mental clutter. She doesn’t just tell us that we need to set boundaries, but also gives us the tools and examples of how to do so. Another thing I loved about this book is how easy it is to use. There are even QR codes!!!

We live in a world where our mental health gets put on the back burner. We struggle to balance a million things at once and always end up putting ourselves last. Dare to Choose Happy is the perfect book to read in any season of life and I will refer back to it for years to come to help me to continue to choose happiness. Life is too short to choose anything else.

May is mental health awareness month, so what a perfect time to order a copy of Dare to Choose Happy!!!!!!!
