The Book of Moods by Lauren Martin

I have been following Lauren’s powerful instagram account @wordsofwomen for years and have always found so much depth and wisdom in her posts. So seeing she had written a book on her own journey through her circumstances and the emotions that followed caught my attention.

There is no doubt that Lauren has poured out the worst of demons, for all of us to see. She is vulnerable and raw about her reactions and ensuing emotions to everything—work, family, friends, love—and is clearly showing her desperate need for peace, stability, understanding and self-acceptance. What we all journey through, right?

I would place this book as the perfect read for women in their 20’s to early 30’s as any of us older than this has most likely already worked most of this out for ourselves, or we are on a solid path of understanding.

The book is injected with intriguing stories of famous women and their struggles to help highlight a message Lauren is moving through. She also has some strong quotes—words of women at their best— sprinkled throughout the book that resonated deeply.

At its core, Lauren’s vulnerability is the strength that holds this book as a valuable resource to young women everywhere. Cultivating a trusting heart in our chaotic world is shaped by offerings like The Book of Moods.

Happy reading,
