A very BIG thank you to the author and editor for the opportunity to read and explore this bright and colourful book!
I am glad to have taken on this book review as it is unlike any other self-help books. The concept is different, so different that had me enjoying it so much! It truly is a refreshing and delightful read, not at all boring especially with the many beautiful art projects and I could participate the many action items at my own pace :-)
The book is about the author's perspective during the Movement Control Order (MCO) here in Malaysia when Covid started to spread. As we were restricted from going far then, we have all the time in the world to do whatever we want at home.
"Koo Lily is the founder and principal consultant of mq Training Coaching Consulting. She is an energetic, engaging, and passionate facilitator by profession."
Lily had time to indulge in her hobby and ponder on her life. The end result is this awesome book, Lead Change Heart Way: A Regenerative Journey Travelling Inwards, incorporating both her art and her written thoughts.
Whilst reading, I can also imagine her facilitating and coaching from the book! Though I have not met her, I can sort of hear Lily as though I am in a class albeit an invisible one LOL! I honestly liked the way it was delivered which I find interesting and inspiring with the little questions at the end of each chapter. It had me pondering on the said topic and I would look back after a while to answer it. I will not divulge too much so you will have to read it to know what I mean :-)
"Shift your mind to explore the qualities which inspire you, and not solely be driven by their successes."
I do believe this book came at the right time. With so much negativity from soc-meds and life, I was a little frustrated, a little let down with a negative mindset. I was also on a crossroad, pondering on my future with retirement looming ahead. Slowly but surely, I could sort out my chaotic mind and set my sight a little better positively. Questions like "Do you have any tips for staying present in the process of change?" and "What's your outlier story?" are great action items. I'm inspired by her 3 SEEDology mindsets, among others, which helped me think positively. "Who are you grateful for?" sets the ball rolling for me, my first action item!
"We do not live just to survive, but to be alive."
