I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. All opinions are my own.

Author Kendra Q. Dodd, MHRD, shares a guided ournal that hopes to give people a fresh perspective on others who may have one label but embody something else completely in the book “Perspectives”. 

The Synopsis

Perspectives is a guided journal to help you become a better human. In times like these, we should all work on unifying and relating to each other. This book awakens you to another level of awareness, realizing that human beings are more profound and more complex than the labels prescribed to us. This book will help you embrace what we call “bridge moments” to courageously speak up while connecting with people different from you and building a better relationship with them.

Being understood is a basic human need. We all have a right to express our voice. Conscious efforts are needed to advocate viewpoints. Perspectives will help you realize that simply a person’s existence can cause misunderstandings, and a guide is necessary to help you navigate to understanding. If you want a resource to shed some light on removing the barriers that can divide us, this book is it.

This book will help reward you through a journey of the following:

Assess and process with self-reflections the core of your perspectives
Explore the various ways in which we are different and how it can cause misunderstandings
Address how to communicate your voice while empathically listening to others effectively
Practical, hands-on exercises and tips to having successful real-life interactions

The Review

This was an insightful and engaging journal. The emphasis is on putting readers in an interactive space to grow and engage with the prompts that the author gave throughout the journal. Examining different viewpoints and mindsets in this book allows the reader to put the book’s purpose into practice.

That purpose is the driving force behind this book. Often, we end up viewing the world only through our lens. Yet, the world’s population comprises so many different perspectives that the ability to step back from oneself and look at things through another person’s viewpoint allows us to connect to the world at large and, at that moment, connect even more profoundly with ourselves. 

The Verdict

Engaging, thoughtful, and interactive author Kendra Q. Dodd’s “Perspectives” is a must-read and must-use journal. The everyday questions and perspectives the author gives readers to ponder upon and write about will provide insight into those around them and how to connect with the world. If you haven’t yet, be sure to grab your copy today!

Rating: 10/10
