I really enjoyed listening to this Audio book, some really practical and thought provoking suggestions that are achievable and down to earth.
Would definitely recommend!

Really enjoyed listening in the car on my trip to and from Sheffield this New year. I loved hearing Leenas narration.
I have bought a physical copy for my sister and one for myself to have a flick through when I need reminding that I don't have to whole arse every aspect of my life!

Thank you Leena

I pre ordered this book cos I knew it would be amazing and It did not disappoint!! I just love this book and will keep going back to it!

Upliftingly real. A u2018self-helpu2019 book that is actually possible to fully follow through with and reap all the rewards of. Lena really feels like sheu2019s in it (life) with you and values your time and energy as much as you should yourself.

This book is everything I hoped it would be and more. Absolutely smashed it Leena, Curly Wurly deserved :)

This is a light-hearted, heartening, and enlightening book examining all the things we often absorb or are guilted into believing. So many of these things we're trying to solve from an individualist standpoint are actually symptoms of a broader problem but it is often to the benefit of corporations to make them into individual issues (to be solved by consumption) than societal or communal ones. A funny and enjoyable book for sure!

I never write reviews so I'm not great at it but I should probably at least half-arse it, in spirit of the book! I'm a long time watcher of Leena's so without much surprise I really enjoyed listening to this and her narrative voice is pretty much perfect to me.

This was the soundtrack to a 7-hour train ride visiting family for the holidays (great timing) and I was engaged almost the whole way (Half-Arse Vegan is less interesting if you've watched Leena's channel for years).

It left me feeling hopeful and with a little list of new things to half-arse! (I love saying that)

This was so very very lovely. So much to think about, very motivating and validating. However I would have preferred a few more references to curly wurlys.

Wow. Just wow.

I love Leena and watch her YouTube religiously but I have to admit, I was skeptical. I actively HATE the self help genre. I know that's a strong word but as a neurodivergent, chronically ill person, every book felt like I'd been sold a dud.

This book is the answer to that. I will never have to read another self help book again. I should have guessed Leena would absolutely smash it tbh, her video essays are a work of art. But this will be my go to birthday present for literally everyone until I have given it to every single person I know. I don't think you have to know Leena and her online work to enjoy this at all. I think this is genuinely accessible for everyone who's not an uptight fart.

Thank you, Leena, this book was genuinely healing for me, you've done an absolutely cracking job.

Wonderful book... made me feel so much less lonely about my best never feeling 'good enough' and challenging that mantra...

Full of great ideas and some chill, actionable and joyful plans that I'm already bubbling with excitement to get going with!

It's only January and I've already found my best book of the year. I'm imagining all the little far flung pockets of the world that are going to be made a little calmer, saner, better because of someone reading this book. Thank you Leena <3

Beautifully written and funny. So wonderful to listen to as a long-time gumptioner who wants more people to appreciate Leena's wise and witty words!

Loved it! Amazing work and lovely narration!

Followed Leena on YouTube for a few years and just like her channel, this book was like a warm and funny mentor showing you that it's okay to mess up. Better yet, plan to fail so you don't end up doing nothing. Better is *better* than best for all aspects of your life - expect for the one that matters to you.

This was a great start to my year and helped combat my all or nothing type A brain.
