The Sunshine Mind: 100 Days to Finding the Hope and Joy You Want

Product Information

I pray that you would give me the wisdom and discernment to know your will today and every day. I pray that you will always open the right doors and close the wrong ones and give me the inner peace and gut feeling to know what you would have me do or say. Thank you for always protecting me. Amen. Before this book came out I was unfamiliar with the authors and unsure what to expect. I love the dual author perspectives and how each day alternates from Raquelle to Tanya.

I’ve read several days of The Sunshine Mind and find it enjoyable. It’s a different kind of devotional where they are giving modern examples from their lives. Written in a conversational tone right from the start, this one hundred day devotional feels as if I were sitting down with two close, long time friends of mine, listening as each shared personal obstacles as well as achievements in her life. I enjoyed reading about their struggles and how they turned these difficult times into times to trust God. The forward by their good friend Selena Gomez was a delight as I know Selena Gomez has reached out publicly about her own struggles with society's expectations and her mental health.Their book, The Sunshine Mind: 100 Days to Finding the Hope and Joy You Want, which is out now, is all about finding faith, hope, strength, and peace in the face of adversity. Stevens learned a thing or two about adversity after the documentary was released. This is far from my usual read, but I had a ton of credits on Audible so I decided to go out of my comfort zone. I also happened to see an advertisement that it was with Selena Gomez (who I love) and was further intrigued.

The foreword was written by Selena Gomez. Selena is a good friend to both authors Tanya and Raquelle. Both the foreword and the introductions to the authors really sets the tone of the book. The book is aimed at anyone who wants to live a happier, more fulfilling life, and who is looking for guidance and support in making positive changes. Both Rad and Stevens believe that the popularity of social media and the pressure that comes with having an online presence have made life harder for today’s teenagers. Whether you're looking to make major life changes or simply want to add a little more sunshine to your daily routine, The Sunshine Mind is the perfect companion. In short, The Sunshine Mind is a book that is not to be missed. It is a powerful, inspiring, and practical guide to living a happier, more fulfilling life, and is sure to leave you feeling uplifted and motivated.Rad's insights are grounded in science and research, but are presented in a way that is accessible and easy to understand. Real, honest, and shared from personal experience, Tanya and Raquelle wrote The Sunshine Mind with today's woman in their hearts. Each of the 100 inspiring readings offers faith, hope, strength, and peace to encourage you to become the beautiful person God made you to be. Being decidedly matter-of-fact about the situation, Stevens said: “Anytime you do anything public, you’re subject to others’ opinions and I understand that. I think that, when millions of people are watching something, you’re gonna have people take things a certain way.”

I have nothing against uplifting devotionals and encouraging your fellow believer, in fact I'm known for being someone who is always cheerful and uplifting. However, when all of the focus is on that and never how you can grow spiritually, there is never a deepening of faith and service. Tanya Rad is forever a romantic of life, and this is what we need more of in the world--to see life through a never-ending lens of hope. Tanya and Raquelle have authentically and vulnerably crafted a book that will help us in our journeys to loving ourselves and in turn the world around us.

The Sunshine Mind is a self-help book written by Tanya Rad that focuses on the importance of a positive attitude and mindset in achieving happiness and success. But it hasn’t always been easy for Rad to rise above the noise, which is partially why she wanted to write the book — to help others going through “the growing pains of it all.” First: Thank you Zondervan Books, Tanya Rad and Raquelle Stevens for allowing me to read this book for my honest review. As modern women living and working in LA and Hollywood, Tanya Rad and Raquelle Stevens know what it's like to feel overwhelmed by trying to keep up, develop real relationships, pursue life passions, and hear from God at the same time. When you know who you are, it doesn’t hold any weight. I try to focus on the good and focus on the positive,” she said. “From people that are close to me and friends, I welcome criticism. But I know who I am and I feel really solid in that, so it’s pretty easy to kind of brush off trolls or negativity.”

Each day includes a scripture, author's personal story or notes, ways to get through this trial in life, and so much positivity & best of all it's relatable. Real, honest, and shared from personal experience, Tanya and Raquelle wrote The Sunshine Mind with today's woman on their hearts. Each of the 100 inspiring readings offers faith, hope, strength, and peace to encourage you to become the beautiful person God made you to be. Suddenly reaching at this point of writing I'm not finding any meaning, maybe I thought there's something but I cannot recall it now..

Readers' opinions about The Sunshine Mind by Tanya Rad

Huge thanks to Tanya and Raquelle for being willing to write this bright and uplifting devotional book! The Sunshine Mind is a devotional book that helps you work through anything and helps you bring god into your life. My husband and I recently found out some life changing news and this book couldn’t have landed in my hands at a better time. God knew I needed to read this. Especially day 6. Each day (devotion/chapter) includes a key Bible verse, a personal inspiring story by Tanya or Raquelle, a prayer, and practical tips on how to apply the help on the topic to one’s daily life. They touch upon many important issues in ways that are easy to understand and are relatable. Great insight - especially for young women.
