This is the quickest and easiest self-help book I’ve ever read and I loved it! I have a bad habit of procrastinating and losing motivation from doubt, so this was a super relatable read. I loved the honest real-life experiences too, at least I know I’m not the only one who can be a little hard on themselves. It made me realise there are so many ways I self-sabotage without even realising! I feel called out in the best possible way.

Even as a freelancer, there are bad habits I do almost every day that are essentially holding me back – comparison being one of them. I’m terrible for it. Gannon touches on this, as well as other obstacles like jealousy, perfectionism, fear and self-worth. It’s a comfortable read but feels a lot like a pep talk from a wise older sister .

As I was reading this, I could help but thing Olive really needs a copy. I read Gannon’s fictional debut over the summer, and found it to be a refreshingly pleasant novel. The protagonist has plenty of ups and downs and I feel like she would love the tips in Sabotage! 
I’m definitely coming back to this one when I need a motivational boost or a positive reminder. It’s short and sweet but still wonderfully insightful.
