Reviews

"How It Feels To Find Yourself is the book that we all need on our nightstands. It reminds us that regardless of the day we've experienced; we are still beautifully and devastatingly hopeful and human. Meera Lee Patel's colorful artwork illustrates the expansiveness of our feelings and her stunning words remind us that life is a spectrum of many emotions; comfort, discomfort, acceptance, loneliness, love, enthusiasm and open-heartedness, too. And though that spectrum may not always be convenient, it undoubtedly leads us to the truest versions of ourselves. This book is a beautiful gift to all of us."
—Cyndie Spiegel, bestselling author of A Year of Positive Thinking and Microjoys: Finding Hope (Especially) When Life Is Not Okay

"In addition to the stunning watercolor illustrations in this book, Patel beautifully breaks down each section into clear themes related to navigating change…. If you or someone you know is entering a new life chapter and feeling daunted by it, this book is a solid companion.”
