About this listen

Following on from her Sunday Times bestseller, I Wish I Knew This Earlier, Toni Tone is back again – and this time, filled with advice that goes beyond our dating and romantic lives.

‘In my opinion, change as a form of evolution is wonderful, because nobody should stay exactly the same forever. If you’re not evolving or growing, what are you doing? Embrace personal change if it means the you of today is better than you of yesterday.’

Do you wish you had more confidence in yourself?

Are your friendships changing as you get older and you’re not sure how manage it?

Is your career unfulfilling or taking over your life?

These are the kinds of issues that Toni Tone explores in her brand-new book, Take Note: Real Life Lessons. Threading in her own experiences, and in particular, what she took away from her twenties, Toni provides genuine and insightful advice on a whole array of topics.

Everything from ageing to making (and ending) friendships, to reinventing yourself and challenging your comfort zone, to ignoring ‘deadlines’ and going at your own pace – Take Note has all of the ingredients you’ll need to reach your fullest potential, in one handy, accessible place.

Critic reviews

Reviews for I Wish I Knew This Earlier

‘Relatable and insightful…Tone’s approach could be characterised as crisp but kind, with a writing style that is eminently accessible and inclusive, providing just the kind of big-sisterly feel she originally aspired to.’
CAROLINE SANDERSON, THE BOOKSELLER

‘This book is scarily accurate. There were so many times where I was adamant that Toni was talking specifically to and about me. I can see identical versions of my friends and I in every single lesson, there were so many points where I literally wanted to screenshot a whole page, send it to my friend and say "LOOOOOOOOOK IT'S YOU!” Spoiler alert: Everyone I know is getting a copy of this book for their next birthday.’
JULIE ADENUGA, BROADCASTER and CULTURAL CURATOR

Most relevant

Some books capture your attention from the very first chapter, and Toni Tone’s ‘Take Note’ is one of them. From the moment I started listening, I simply couldn’t stop. This coming-of-age book is a must-read (or listen) for anyone, from 12 year-olds to those well into their 40s and beyond.

Toni Tone has a unique way of writing that is both deeply relatable and insightful. She seamlessly blends real-life experiences with references to psychological and behavioural studies, making you realise that the lessons you’re learning are ones that many others are navigating too. Her storytelling is authentic and engaging, making complex emotions and life experiences feel easier to understand and reflect on.

What makes this book truly stand out is its relevance to modern day life. Whether it’s relationships, self-discovery, or personal growth, Toni Tone offers a guide that feels like a warm, wise friend sharing advice. It’s particularly valuable for young women finding their way in the world, but the lessons are universal.

Overall, this book is a well-written and compelling read that I would highly recommend. If you’re looking for something that speaks to your experiences while offering meaningful insights that can be passed on to the next generation, this is the book for you!
