The Sweet Spot: How to Find Your Groove at Home and Work

I LOVE this book! I may be a geek when it comes to positivity, habit building, and making things easier, but this book is fantastic!Full Disclosure: I recently interviewed Dr. Carter for our Inspire Nation Show!I love this book. Why? Because she helps you make life easier at the same time you're getting more done. Yes you can do more, but with less effort. That's why she calls it the sweet spot. Whether you're a hyper-achiever, a business starter, or want to spend more time with the family, the tools she gives you in this book will help you literally transform your life.I read a book a day, over 225 for our show so far, and I've never found so many tips per page or chapter. Even if you add just a tip a day or a week, you'll be making life easier, happier, and more positive in ways you could only imagine. Even with our show and all the books we've read and guests we've interviewed she has some of the most innovative, and easy-to-install (so-to-speak) ideas for hacking your life.I can't recommend the book enough, and I am so glad I read it. I just made a HUGE change in my weekly work schedule because of this book, and I'm immediately seeing rewards; as is my wife, who's now seeing me more, and with less stress thanks to Dr. Carter's advice. If you want less stress, and more time to do the things you love to do, or to do them better, then I can't recommend this book enough!

I enjoyed the concepts in this book and the overall positive tenor. But it was a tough book to get through. Very tedious writing. What could be explained in a paragraph ends up being a few chapters. Book could have been shorter and more concise and accomplish teaching the same concepts more precisely. The suggestions for finding the sweet spot were great.

This book was a pleasant surprise - chock-full of various ideas and concepts in positive psychology. I have read a number of books on the subject and this book nicely brings it together in a series of suggestions on how to make this happen in your life. I feel like ordering a physical copy so I can re-read it and make notes on the book itself (I read it on KIndle).

FIVE STARS PLUS!!!! I can't begin to describe how much I enjoyed this book. Only a few chapters in and I was recommending it to friends, coworkers, and clients within my psychotherapy practice. This is easily one of the, if not THE best positive psychology books I've ever read (and that's saying something). Christine has a very clear, down to earth, and accessible style and the suggested tips she offered were very practical. I appreciated her cogent real life examples, often of her playing mom. I liked this so much I bought the book after listening to the audio version from the library (also a great way to enjoy this book - very well done) and plan on reading it again, this time highlighting and taking notes in the margin. I can't wait to read what she writes next! Do yourself a favor and read this book!!!

This book has inspired me to write daily.I thought this was just one of those self-help books, but it is extremely well researched and I enjoyed reading it. It has made a difference to me in that it supported my daily writing (my book is about 250 pages by now). I like the compassionate approach and how to fit things into a busy life.This book definitely is a more valuable read than browsing the many self-help posts and articles on-line. When I showed it to a friend, she bought it immediately and is using it in her counseling practice.Christine has really figured out how to use recent research and apply it to make a difference in a busy life with two teen-agers, a job and writing books.

Christine Carter has hit a home run! This collection of ideas are research-tested, and she demonstrates how to apply them to our lives for real results. I may not be able to do it exactly as she does, but there are clearly places in my life that are enriched when I add even small bits or changes to my routine. I especially love how she distills the short-cut to making good habits and removing bad ones, to take advantage of the parts of our brains that work on auto-pilot. Anyone who feels too busy and overwhelmed to be happy, to enjoy life, or to find love, deserves to know these ideas. We can "have it all", we just have to re-define what "it all" means.

I found the book to be extremely helpful to people who are "snowed under" with work and other obligations. The author has sound ideas that everyone who feels overwhelmed should read and consider. While the book, in my opinion, is overly long and loses some of its impact in the last few sections I found the reading (of the book) to be worthwhile.

Sweet Spot is a Sweet Book! Dr Carter writes knowledgeably, humorously, and candidly to help the reader get their groove back. She has a masterful grasp of the research and theory, and an expert grasp of how to communicate it effectively. BTW: you may want to check out her YouTube videos to get a sense for her work.

Good content, but too "mom" oriented. Probably too mature for me haha but the advise is good, if you are more independent or self focused try atomic habits too, as mentioned those are good advices but not relatable with some realities.

Really really good, been reading it on my kindle but am going to get it for my bookshelf too ..Excellent

Informative and a great book to have

Interesting read

The book is great and I have gone on to enroll in Christine Carter's e-course, The Science of Finding Flow, to enrich my experience. I wish the book had been sent via Canada Post because picking it up from Purolator is very awkward for me. (I don't have a vehicle,)
