Publisher's summary

A groundbreaking approach to wellness that will help you cut through the clutter and find the small shifts that create huge changes in your life, from the host of the podcast The Feel Good Effect

“An absolutely fresh and insightful guide.... If you’re looking to create more calm, clarity, and joy, this book is for you. (Shauna Shapiro, PhD, author of Good Morning I Love You)

What if wellness isn’t about achieving another set of impossible standards, but about finding what works­ - for you?

Radically simple and ridiculously doable, The Feel Good Effect helps you redefine wellness, on your own terms. Drawing from cutting-edge science on mindfulness, habit, and behavior change, podcast host Robyn Conley Downs offers a collection of small mindset shifts that allow for more calm, clarity, and joy in everyday life, embracing the idea that “gentle is the new perfect” when it comes to sustainable wellness. She then leads you through an easy set of customizable habits for happiness and health in mind, body, and soul, allowing you to counteract stress and prevent burnout.

Instead of trying to get more done, The Feel Good Effect offers a refreshingly sane approach that will allow you to identify and focus on the elements that actually move the needle in your life right now. Less striving. More ease. It’s time to feel good.

Critic reviews

“Wildly practical and refreshingly unpretentious, The Feel Good Effect is a delightful toolkit to upgrade your life.” (Ashley Neese, breathwork teacher and author of How to Breathe)

The Feel Good Effect is a refreshing guide to change, especially for anyone who struggles with perfectionism or self-criticism. Robyn Downs provides the perfect balance of science, practical strategies, and personal encouragement.” (Kelly McGonigal, PhD, author of The Willpower Instinct)

“Anyone can cheer you on, but few can help you change like Robyn Downs. So many of us know the type of life we want - happy, fulfilled - but the hard part isn’t always the what, it’s the how. With warmth, vulnerability, and stunning clarity, Downs upends our notions of what it means to be and do well, and offers actionable advice for anyone who is ready to change their mindset, and with it, their lives.” (Alicia Menendez, author of The Likeability Trap)

A struggle to finish

Hated this book. She just took other people's ideas and gave them her own names.
