New You! Who Knew
Posted by Literary Titan

New You- Who Knew, by David R Edwards, is a powerful self-help book that will inspire anyone who believes life can be better than the status quo. Often times people are too focused on the mundane life; they are not motivated to leave their comfort zone. Especially today, it is super easy to get entangled in worldly affairs; this book can be the North Star to guide us to a more enriching and fulfilling life.
Edwards’s work is well polished. Even though this is his first book, he has presented everything like a seasoned writer. He has logically planned everything. The chapters are simple with to-do lists, home takeaways, and previews. As a reader, you can read the book, work on the chapters and become thoroughly acquainted with the topic. You cannot go wrong with this book. As you read through the chapters and move forward, Edwards makes sure you understand the material and are able to produce high-quality work with simple language and detailed explanations. Even though I have read so many books in this category, what strikes me the most about this book is Edwards’s approach to writing. The style is straightforward, but it feels like you are sitting in class with your favorite professor. The information is presented in a manner that readers will feel they are actively involved in the learning process rather than just being lectured on how to do things.
New You- Who Knew is full of life learning skills that you can teach yourself with patience and practice. Each chapter has a worksheet – which encourages readers to test their knowledge and put into practice whatever they’ve learned. I find it quite adventurous and helpful. There is a lot of review of concepts to reinforce the ideas and put them into practice. This is because the concepts are interconnected, and the steps build on each other. This book offers concise chapters and is an inspiring read.
New You- Who Knew is an engaging book in the nonfiction and self-help genres. This educational book will inspire readers to improve the quality of their work, thus improving their own self-worth.

Shine On, You Crazy Diamond
Posted by Literary Titan

Shine On, You Crazy Diamond: Even When Your Crown Feels Heavy by Catherine L. Owens is a phenomenal self-help book. It was written originally for women but is suited for anyone and everyone who needs help finding themselves again, needs some guidance, advice, or just wants to read someone’s life story and get inspired. While sharing her life stories, Owens talks about subjects such as shame, guilt, religion, self-love, societal expectations, and so much more.
Owens writes honestly, and there is no better way to connect with a reader than being 100% honest. She shares her raw emotions, even giving readers parts of her personal diary entries. She puts into words thoughts we have all had at some point in our lives. The focus is not on fixing flaws but accepting that we are flawed and still have value despite those flaws.
One of the topics Owens covers is being raised Mormon, how that affected her growing up and how her premarital pregnancy with her first daughter changed the way she viewed the Holy Spirit and religion. Who gives the right to a random person to tell her what her relationship to God will be like? The way society views families and what they should be, and other related topics.
The book is lengthy. However, the chapters are written so perfectly that you will read them in no time. In addition to that, the book is overflowing with all sorts of self-love and acceptance quotes that will make you feel better about yourself and your life.
Shine On, You Crazy Diamond: Even When Your Crown Feels Heavy by Catherine L. Owens is more than a self-help book; it is a book that will help you raise your head and be proud of yourself, your life, and your accomplishments. This book will appeal to women looking for uplifting journals, books on women’s issues, and educational books.
