Review by Library Journal Review

Saviuc, founder of the personal growth blog Purpose Fairy, asks readers to look inside themselves and to let go of bad habits. The behaviors to give up include blaming, the need to always be right, limiting beliefs, and so forth. She draws from Eastern wisdom, contemporary spirituality, and positive psychology as well as her own painful past and path to renewal. Saviuc's message boils down to the need to alter oneself to effect any kind of change, and she provides encouragement and the tools for doing that. VERDICT Therapeutic, compassionate prodding for those who feel like they're unable to move forward. © Copyright 2015. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
