About this listen
“An absolutely fresh and insightful guide . . . If you’re looking to create more calm, clarity, and joy, this book is for you.”—Shauna Shapiro, Ph.D., author of Good Morning I Love You
What if wellness isn’t about achieving another set of impossible standards, but about finding what works—for you?
Radically simple and ridiculously doable, The Feel Good Effect helps you redefine wellness, on your own terms. Drawing from cutting-edge science on mindfulness, habit, and behavior change, podcast host Robyn Conley Downs offers a collection of small mindset shifts that allow for more calm, clarity, and joy in everyday life, embracing the idea that “gentle is the new perfect” when it comes to sustainable wellness. She then leads you through an easy set of customizable habits for happiness and health in mind, body, and soul, allowing you to counteract stress and prevent burnout.
Instead of trying to get more done, The Feel Good Effect offers a refreshingly sane approach that will allow you to identify and focus on the elements that actually move the needle in your life right now. Less striving. More ease. It’s time to feel good.
Critic reviews
“Health isn’t just about nourishing your physical body; it’s about nourishing your mindset. Robyn teaches so beautifully about the power of creating small changes that make the most impact in life and how we show up in the world. She teaches the ‘why’ behind these mindset shifts, giving you more confidence to take action with the tools she shares. This book is for you if you want to create the habit of feeling good!”—McKel Kooiengia, MS, RDN, LDN, founder of Nutrition Stripped
“Wildly practical and refreshingly unpretentious, The Feel Good Effect is a delightful toolkit to upgrade your life.”—Ashley Neese, breathwork teacher and author of How To Breathe
“The Feel Good Effect is a refreshing guide to change, especially for anyone who struggles with perfectionism or self-criticism. Robyn Downs provides the perfect balance of science, practical strategies, and personal encouragement.”—Kelly McGonigal, Ph.D., author of The Willpower Instinct
“Anyone can cheer you on, but few can help you change like Robyn Downs. So many of us know the type of life we want—happy, fulfilled—but the hard part isn’t always the what, it’s the how. With warmth, vulnerability, and stunning clarity, Downs upends our notions of what it means to be and do well, and offers actionable advice for anyone who is ready to change their mindset, and with it, their lives.”—Alicia Menendez, author of The Likeability Trap
“This book will set you free. The Feel Good Effect is a breath of much needed fresh air in the self-development space. Robyn graciously and effectively guides you away from a cookie-cutter mindset regarding feeling good, and toward embodying methodologies and paths unique to who you are. Robyn has created a beautiful roadmap to help us thrive forward.”—Lalah Delia, spiritual writer, wellness educator, and author of Vibrate Higher Daily
“This book is straight-up refreshing, inspiring, and so tangible in its advice for living a better life. It’s made up of equal parts science-backed research and Robyn’s personal stories that will have you simultaneously laughing, crying, nodding, and feeling like someone is finally reading your mind. The Feel Good Effect is a must-read for any high-achiever who is craving more peace and joy, as well as a more sustainably healthy way to live. It takes wellness to a whole new (and needed) level.”—Sarah Adler, founder of Simply Real Health

She helps the reader to find their essential change that they need & the freedom to navigate and choose without complications, because it’s always simple and will be best when it’s choosen by You, while giving methods to keep these changes on track in a new and improved way of thinking and doing than the other books + adding joy to the equation.
when I started to give a chance for one of her advices. It worked for me. It’s beautiful! Thank god she didn’t doubt herself to write that book at these times. I’m sure this is an essential read for anyone who feel they’re able to apply change or they’re struggling to do so.
The book is so simple, not that long, & for sure effective! I Highly recommend it along with “The life changing magic of tidying” up by Marie Kondo. It got some of the magic of the mindset represented in this book as well. They’re good for a New Year.
When I failed to apply any advice This one Worked for me!!!!! An Essential for everyone.
