Retreat has changed me for the better


I just finished reading Retreat: Notes from a Virtual Mountaintop Retreat by Christine King, and it really moved me. This book was exactly what I needed to find some peace and clarity. I’m excited to share how this book has inspired me and brought positive changes to my life.

Retreat is about finding happiness and peace in small things. Christine King shows us how little changes in our daily lives can make us happier.  She shares her experiences, especially learning from a cat and a dog, to teach us to live a simpler, slower life. The book is full of practical advice, like expressing our preferences and savoring every moment, which can help anyone feel better and more positive.

Christine King has a special way of connecting with readers. This is the second book I've read by her, and her writing continues to touch me deeply. She uses her own experiences to give advice, making it easy to relate to and follow. Her ability to turn everyday moments into important lessons is wonderful.❤

A unique point in Retreat is the idea of slowing down and enjoying life. Christine believes that rushing through life causes stress and unhappiness. She suggests taking a more mindful approach, focusing on what really brings joy.

In the midst of our busy lives, Dr Christine emphasizes carving out time for self-care and happiness. She eloquently explains that living a fulfilling life doesn't require us to seek validation from others.
