Synopsis

Stressed by your spending? Always feeling like you should do more? Join Sheridan Stewart on an inspiring journey towards spending less, feeling happier and focusing on the important things.

What began as a 90-Day challenge simply to spend less, becomes an exploration of what matters most. I Am Enough contemplates what it means to have enough, do enough and ultimately be enough. Told with insight and humour, this book is an antidote to the constant pressure we are under to do more, have more and be more.

Busy radio presenter and broadcaster, author and mid-lifer Sheridan Stewart created the 90-Day Enough Challenge out of necessity. She had been struggling with burnout for years but couldn’t find a way to break the cycle of dashing about feeling guilty about spending too much, eating too much and not being a good enough wife, friend, volunteer, work colleague and human being.

Sheridan’s quest to prioritise calm, self-care and what really matters in life is inspirational. The practical programme which she has created is in three parts with a detailed timeline, tips and checklists for every step of the journey.
 
SURRENDER:
  The first part of the book is about surrender – learning to let go and strip life back to the essentials: getting enough sleep and support, utilizing what we have instead of buying more and doing enough without being sucked into the relentless pursuit of perfectionism. 
MAYBE I CAN BE ENOUGH?
  The second part of the book makes a shift from not only doing things differently but beginning to feel and view things differently. Even though to the outside observer, Sheridan’s life may appear the same – same job, same relationships, same environment – she learns to see life through a different lens. She begins to take small actions that better served her physical, emotional and financial wellbeing and shows the reader how to do the same.
CHOOSE TO MAKE THE CHANGE LAST:
  The third part of the book is about choice. As Sheridan nears the end of her 90-Day Challenge, she starts to explore implementing lasting change. As a chronic dieter and a driven over-achiever, she is aware of how quickly old patterns and behaviours can take hold. Why will this time different?  
Over the course of this journey, Sheridan learns to trust herself, and you can too by following in her footsteps on a journey towards financial and emotional happiness.

Reviews

I am not normally a reader of self-improvement books, but I do like memoirs. "I Am Enough" is a bit of both, and I was joyfully surprised to find that the gestalt of the two in this book livens up each type of storytelling. Stewart's voice is authentic in recounting her own experiences and the insig......more

Goodreads review by Philip

A 90 Day Challenge is the way forward I love the philosophy within the book. I have enough and am enough is a balanced view as opposed to the incredibly intense high achievement culture promoted by hundreds of new age authors including the usual Tony Robbins approach. This can work for anyone because......more

Goodreads review by Laura

I was looking for a book to help with my spending habits and while I can't cut out in the same way this lady did, it did open my eyes to different perspectives and other ways of going about things. It sounds very obvious but I needed to read something that would remind me to stop and think about why......more
