For readers caught in the exhausting cycle of overthinking, Simpson’s Breathe offers a refreshing guide to help calm chaotic thoughts and direct energy toward reshaping mindsets, practicing self-kindness, building healthier relationships, and more. Crafted as both a prompt-filled exploration of individual readers’ goals, limiting beliefs, relationships, and more, and also a self-help guide packed with clear, practical action steps that and encourage deep introspection and making lasting change, Simpson’s encouraging book takes readers on a journey of emotional exploration and growth, in four stages modeled after the seasons. Above all else, she urges readers to breathe– “to pause before responding to someone’s request for your time or energy,” for example, to “create space for your body’s intuition … to guide you towards an authentic ‘yes’ or ‘no.’”

The first two stages of the “journey” Simpsons lays out focus on internal reflection. Readers are introduced to tools like meditation and affirmations to help identify and navigate limiting beliefs. Simpson simplifies these concepts through relatable anecdotes, and she writes in an engaging, conversational tone (“Change often feels daunting, like standing at the base of a huge mountain with it looming over you”), creating the atmosphere of a therapeutic dialogue. Relevant and important questions stud each chapter, nudging the reader to navigate tangled emotions and realign their value compass. At its heart, Breathe’s prompts create a space for deep introspection, led by a coach who understands the challenge of facing internal struggles with clarity and confidence.

The latter two stages shift the focus outward, exploring relationships with friends, family, and the broader community. Simpson guides readers on setting boundaries and cultivating gratitude through reflective, thought-provoking exercises. The interactive format (questions, fill-ins, checkboxes, lists, and visual tools) sets Simpson’s approach apart, blending a soothing workbook approach with more traditional self-help. QR codes and links are provided to assist readers who may need further clarification.

Takeaway: Interactive guidebook to facing internal struggles with confidence and self-compassion.
