"After just ten pages, I felt inspired and gained a deeper understanding of how to navigate life's challenges more effectively. Learning about imposter syndrome helped me realise the need to stop being so hard on myself. It also reminded me of the importance of stepping away from work and personal projects to relax and fully enjoy the present moment!" Kent

"'Dear Friend' is a book you should definitely read. The book opens a conversation with yourself as a dear friend and guides you through different topics, such as 'not feeling good enough, ' 'unrealistic expectations', 'imposter syndrome', and many more-feelings we all go through but seldom talk about. What I love about it is that you can browse through the different subjects in any order you like. It's easy to read and keeps you engaged with thought-provoking questions, affirmations, and suggestions on how to tackle negative self-thoughts. I have laughed and cried while reading it, and it has taken me on a journey of self-reflection. I highly recommend this book and will be gifting it to some loved ones." Nele
