About this listen

The Happiness Project meets So Sad Today in this "hilariously witty, unflinchingly honest" book from Words of Women founder Lauren Martin, as she contemplates the nature of negative emotions - and the insights that helped her to take control of her life (Bobbi Brown).

Five years ago, Lauren Martin was sure something was wrong with her. She had a good job in New York, an apartment in Brooklyn, a boyfriend, yet every day she wrestled with feelings of inferiority, anxiety and irritability. It wasn't until a chance encounter with a (charming, successful) stranger who revealed that she also felt these things, that Lauren set out to better understand the hold that these moods had on her, how she could change them, and began to blog about the wisdom she uncovered. It quickly exploded into an international online community of women who felt like she did: lost, depressed, moody, and desirous of change.

Inspired by her audience to press even deeper, The Book of Moods shares Lauren's journey to infuse her life with a sense of peace and stability. With observations that will resonate and inspire, she dives into the universal triggers every woman faces - whether it's a comment from your mother, the relentless grind at your job, days when you wish the mirror had a Valencia filter, or all of the above. Blending cutting-edge science, timeless philosophy, witty anecdotes and effective forms of self-care, Martin has written a powerful, intimate, and incredibly relatable chronicle of transformation, proving that you really can turn your worst moods into your best life.

Critic reviews

"A deeply relatable how-to-guide for managing your moods from a woman who gets it. This is a funny, moving memoir filled with so many a-ha moments that I had a hard time putting it down. A real asset for anyone on the quest for better emotion regulation and inner peace." (Laurie Santos, professor of psychology at Yale University and Host of The Happiness Lab podcast)

"Hilariously witty, unflinchingly honest, and brimming with hope, The Book of Moods teaches that with authenticity and a little self-coaching, you can take ownership of your emotions-and your own life. Lauren Martin's contagious curiosity leads straight to what she calls "the cornerstone of chill." And you know what? The journey is half the fun." (Bobbi Brown, best-selling author and renowned makeup artist)

"Lauren Martin names those feelings that we all have, explains why we have them, and how we can keep them from defining and dictating our lives. A fascinating, thorough, and truly helpful book. I loved it!" (Sarah Knight, New York Times best-selling author of Calm the F*ck Down)

This book is good and I took in every word Martin had wrote, but then it came to how Princess Diana somehow related to her message about how people can become toxic once they get into their own head. She couldn't relate this message in anything other than a deceased person? It was a weird connection that I did not appreciate. Luckily this came closer to the end of the book so I didn't have to process it for the entire time.

I would recommend that this author find a not so hot debatable topic to speak of in her future books. This could lose potential readers for her future work. This will probably be my only & last time reading from this author. Also, the narration of this book can be robotic at times. Very monotone at some points. If we could find some better voice to connect to the audience, then that would possibly engage better.

Overall, Martins talking points were taken in by me & will be considered in my daily routine.

Such a great book! Until it came to Princess Diana

This was a lovely light funny and insightful book! I call it a “snack” book because it’s a great book to read when you need a light pick me up. I finished it within a few days b/c it was light and funny and a really easy listen with lots of gold nuggets of real life advice and life lessons. Loved it!

Great book, only wish there was more!

My emotions have always been an issue for me, they had been causing a lot of issues in my life for a very long time. I looked on amazon for a self help book & stumbled on this book. After reading some reviews & the introduction I knew this was the book I was looking for. I 100% related to every word! this is a wonderful book & I'm looking forward to implementing these ideas into my daily life. I recommend this book to anyone needing help with establishing healthy control or your moods.

Just the book I was looking for & needed!

The whole time I was listening I kept thinking, omg me too! It was so nice to feel like I’m not alone in the insane moods that I experience… I enjoyed the narration & the accent used as the voice of Lauren’s boyfriend; it kept me thoroughly engaged and my only wish is that the book kept going!

wish there were more!

So this was one of those books 2 for 1 listens. Had an interesting title and shoot...it was free!!! Popped it on and am on my second time listening!!
This book is very relatable and has given me a few things I need to work on. It really gets you in touch with why we feel some type of way and why we're unaware of it! I personally hate when I'm in a funky mood and don't know why and can't shake it!!
This book has put me in touch with those feelings and best of all, what to do about it!!! Well worth a credit!! Thank you for writing this one.

Not sure why I bought this, SO GLAD I DID!!!

I thought this was going to be more insightful on how to, or bring attention to how to identify or manage moods. Instead or was a story about how and what the author struggled with. not a bad book but not what I expected.

Eh
