Joy Booster Ideas
Trust Your Intuition by Jill Sylvester is actually a kindlebook about stronger emotional resilience compared to intuition. However there are still some encouraging ideas that include: ways to be good to yourself everyday, getting out in nature, organizing your space, making some time to do what you love (hobby andor other activity wise) even if it is just a modest slice of time, and more.
Rude and Not Very Helpful
I think the tone of this text is often rude and condescending. The author tries to shame you for being inactive and seems to believe in a philosophy similar to "The Secret" in which positivity can solve all problems. For example, she suggests repeating positive affirmations such as "I am in perfect health." She tries to make you feel bad for being stressed out by focusing on how your stress might negatively impact others' moods. She also tries to convince you of her points by saying things like "I repeat - this works." which is not very convincing. I found some of the tips were helpful but most were quite typical advice and not very innovative. In general, it is very hokey-sounding. I got through the first 17 tips (and practiced them) and I found it slightly helpful for my depression but not very much. Overall I'm disappointed and also offended because it hurt my feelings, like when she puts the word depression is quotation marks because she finds it too clinical.
This book saved my life!
I was so lucky to come across this book during these uncertain times (quarantine, social unrest, etc). I have suffered from depression and anxiety most of my life and this book gave me the tools to work on my personal growth and succeed like never before. The steps and guidelines are so simple, I can't believe it took me this long to figure it out. I now have a better understanding of the root causes of my depression and anxiety and am able to break down and acknowledge my feelings in a way that prevents my anxiety from getting out of control and keeps me from falling back into depression. It all makes sense now, thanks to this book. I would recommend it to ANYONE and EVERYONE, regardless of the state of your mental health!
Trust YOUR Intuition, and GET THIS Book !
One of the BEST, and most insightful books I've read in many years ! Jill Sylvester's world assessments, suggestions and tips for personal well being, are super helpful. I found this a charming read, full of relatable info and stories, and immediately benefited from utilizing some of new tips and techniques for my own self management, almost immediately. You will find yourself using these added skills, even before you finish the first few chapters. I HIGHLY recommend this to all, I've already gifted several copies of this books to help others, as well. It's one of the top 3 books I recommend as a gift to anyone, of any age, a better understanding of themselves, and simple easy strategies to stay happier, so that you can feel better, BE better, & share that wealth with others.
Everybody can benefit from the strategies in this book!
I loved this book! These strategies should be taught in school. We all deal with anxiety/depression at some point in our lives. This book will help a lot of people build up their tools to manage their mental health. Jill gives you easy, down to earth ways to manage your anxiety and depression. The strategies make sense. I love that Jill gives personal stories from her own life when she needed and used the methods she outlines in the book. She doesn’t just talk the talk she walks the walk as well. I have worked with Jill for several years and I was so excited to get her book and I know first hand that the methods outlined in this book work because I use them on myself as well as with my children. Nobody is immune from anxiety/depression. This book is a must have!
Shout out to Jill Sylvester from an Integrative Physician

If you dive deep into one tip a day, incredible things can happen like spontaneous joy, increased confidence, and a renewed gusto for living. No need to hesitate on this one. I’ll be stocking my practice with many copies." I've known Jill for over a decade now and am excited to see her sharing her experience and wisdom as an integrative counselor and mental health advocate. Each tip in this book is a gold nugget. And, you've got a 100 of them to help you with the ups and downs of life. I've had a great time savoring each tool myself and recommending them to patients, as well.

A book for everyone!
This author has done it again. Jill Sylvester provides another priceless tool for managing our emotions in this crazy world. This book applies to everyone. In today’s day and age, nobody escapes anxiety. The tips and tools are simple yet powerful, and as soon as I picked it up, I found myself following its guidance- and feeling better!! This book should be in every household, every doctor’s office and every classroom. It’s wisdom that applies to all ages. Get this book for yourself and as a gift for someone you love.
Get this book and keep it on your night table.
This book is like having a life coach right by your side. This book acts like a workbook and so it’s different than other self- help books. It’s an easy read and doesn’t leave the reader just thinking about how to apply it. I found that each call to action gave my stressful, worried thoughts something to actually do. The author instilled confidence and motivation in me so I could get out there and actually do it (and succeed!) In fact, I find that now I can trust my own intuition enough to expand on a few of the strategies on my own. The author doesn’t employ a “clinical” approach even though she is a therapist. She also exposes her own experience with anxiety and powerlessness. Consequently, her ultimate transformation seems to be the manifestation of this book and is inspiring. Trust Your Intuition is a must-have for anyone who deals with life and stress. Get this book for yourself and watch your life change! Gift it so you can share the 100 ways of transformation with others. It's a liberation!
A MUST-HAVE for you & everyone in your life!
As a life-long mentee of Jill, her books bring all her guidance full circle. Trust Your Intuition is an especially important tool in overcoming anxiety, depression and strengthening one’s mental health. This book belongs on the nightstand of anyone looking to quell life’s everyday stressors. Anxiety can manifest in my different forms and this book provides coping strategies that you can implement at your own pace. I’m looking forward to reading ALL future works by Jill, and I recommend this book every chance I get!
