I found myself in this book.
I have a completely different perspective on life. Too long for a short story. 10/10 just purchase this book and read it.

I couldn't put the book down & finished in 2 days. Will definitely help someone trying to let go.
I originally came across this book on Instagram and it had what each chapter was titled. This sparked my curiosity into reading this book because here recently a series of bad events have been taking place in my life from something from a trauma from my past which I thought I moved on from has crossed paths with a relationship in my life in the present. This event dragging up a bunch of emotions, memories, and feelings about the trauma also brought with it disgust, betrayal from a partner, distrust, and heartbreak all around on my part. Just seeing the chapter titles was enough for me not only because of these events taking place, but also because I very well recognized with what each chapter would be covering could fit into my life and be very beneficial. How I can use what I read from each chapter as a kind of tool bag/tricks or tips to give me some type of starting point in addition to counseling sessions in dealing with different assorted emotional baggage I been carrying from my past I never really dealt with properly. Getting insight on processes to help you heal from past traumas and experiences you've faced in your life. So, you can let go of that emotional baggage you been carrying so it's not hovering over you like a rain cloud and move on with your life. While also being happy, grateful, and gracious for what's happening in the now. Cause in not all memories and experiences, but some the past tends to bring uncomfortable feelings when thinking about them and the future is going to happen. It's inevitable whether we like it or not so we only going to work ourselves up agonizing about what the future has in store for us. So, that's something I learned from Care Package: A Path To Deep Healing along with many other things to add to my tool belt to start the process of healing is to have more of a sense of gratitude with the present. To appreciate everything you're blessed with in life and being made more aware of that and if you're going through a rough patch in the present just realize they don't last forever and to still be gracious. This book came into contact with me at the correct time when I needed words as well as a starting point to kind of help me decipher and get through these trying times I'm faced with. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and I hope y'all also find it as helpful and amazing as I did because it definitely helped me shed light on many different, but very very useful subjects in regards to healing.

Make your happiness a priority
I have read all of Sylvester’s work and it never disappoints. With the help of his words I have truly been able to transform my life and my mindset. I held onto to my pain and was living a life that I was just content in. I was in an unhappy relationship, had unhealthy friendships, and was not making my happiness a priority. I was settling in all aspects of my life and I wasn’t doing anything about it. This past year was one of the hardest for me my job wasn’t working out and I finally made the decision to break up with the person I was with for 5 years and I felt so lost. I turned to his work and it helped me more than I could have ever expected. I learned that I deserve love and happiness and that needed to come from myself and not other people. I changed my mindset and really learned that happiness is created in our mind. I was speaking to myself negatively I was looking at everything negatively and that’s the world I was living in negativity. I now speak to myself the way I speak to my friends with kindness and compassion I speak of positivity and that is now the world I live in. Self love and self care is so important and I think a lot of us forget that. We are so busy taking care of others that it leaves us drained and no one taking care of us. I believe in his work and speak of it so passionately because it is so important to want more for ourselves. Breaking through pain is one of the hardest things a person can do, it is also one of the most rewarding things to do. Understanding our pain and how it impacts our life changes everything. When I am reading his work I feel inspired and hopeful. If you haven’t read this please do, share it with your friends and help them love themselves the way we all deserve.

Clarity for your journey
I’ve went through a lot last year and I decided that this year was going to be the most powerful Awaken for me. Although it took me a while to finish this book, I can say that every word was very powerful every chapter every poem from the beginning to the end. I connected with this book I cried on some of the chapters some of the poems felt more real than others. I was connected spiritually as I was reading and I want to say thank you for this.I could’ve finish this book in a day or two but I felt that it holds so much more power if I took my time. Care package a path to deep healing is a book I would read again and again and again. However since I finished this book and I wrote down steps to succeed in my life I am going to pass this gem down to another one of my friends in need so they can be awakening on their journey. I love the space in between the poems because I wrote what I felt in the moment. Thank you for your time and the book.

Extremely Helpful
I was in a bad time in life and my thoughts were killing me. Worrying about future and being sad about the past. Whatever I was doing was causing me so much stress. I started to read "Care Package" by Mr. McNutt III and it completely changed my mindset and mood. I absolutely loved this book and I would recommend it to anybody who wants to grow in life mentally. Some times I would find me reading just to say I read it but wasn't paying attention to what I was reading....I would stop, breath and would read everything again just so I wont miss anything. I love that Mr. McNutt III repeats things so it gets in your head and believe me it helps so much. Make sure you're open to what you're gonna read because that makes a huge difference. Thank You Mr. McNutt III this book helped me in my life sooooo much and I 100% recommend this book.

Just okay, would recommend other books if looking for guidance on how to heal
My mum has recently been diagnosed with depression. She suffers from deep rooted trauma caused by my grandparents that has rolled down through the generations and inevitably affected myself and my siblings growing up. As adults we are now all on our individual paths of healing from the pain caused.I found this book by stumbling across a quote I liked which this book was tagged in and thought I would buy one for myself and my mum after seeing the great reviews.The writer jumps straight in with messages of love and continuously shares vulnerable snippets of his life story which do not come across as humble or genuine to me. There are very short pieces of advice given that link and reference other great authors but most pages of the book either share his life stories, Talk about how amazing things are for him now because he got out of it or have quotes on. If you cut out the quotes and stories of him there are probably only 20 pages of guidance on how to heal. For me this isn’t an issue as I have read a lot of great books that complimented my therapy by helping to apply what I had learnt such as ‘you can heal your life’ by Louise hay or ‘The power of now’ by eckhart tolle. This book didn’t live up to my expectations and I didn’t come away feeling like I read anything I didn’t already know.Something about the way it was written felt a little egotistical and it didn’t speak to me spiritually and for that reason I wouldn’t recommend it.

The most amazing book ever
Having just go through a recent break up someone told me about this book. I’ve never been one to turn to a book for help but my god at I glad I did. This book made me feel strong again. It made me see the truth in people and believe in myself. No matter what your going through this book WILL help you. It took me one and half days to finish it and ever couple of days I get it back out and re read the quotes in it to give me a boost. AMAZING book well worth buying it.

Helped me to change my life
I have had a lot of relationship problems due to anxiety which causes co-dependency. Like all self-help books this book will not fix you; you have to put in the work yourself. But it helped me a lot. I used it as a meditation guide by dipping in every day, usually before bedtime. The small nuggets of wisdom do sink in over time, and that has really helped to change my life for the better.

For the everyday person struggling to focus...
After following Sylvester McNutt III for a few months on Instagram, I found most of his work to be inspiring and motivating. Having gone through some changes in both my personal and professional life, I was extremely stressed for the past 6 months and just could not seem to find my feet. Starting 2019 on a really good note, and then losing focus a little, I decided that it was time to get back to where I wanted to be. I opted to start with 'Care Package' before his book 'Lust for Life'. Best decision ever! The book helped me work through so many issues which may seem minor to us but caused me so much distress that left me constantly drained - emotionally, physically and mentally. The content challenged me to change my thinking, and in some cases, validate what I already know but do not apply in my life.Great read; great content. Now onto "Lust for Life".

Really wanted to love it but...
Honestly, was really looking forward to reading this after it was recommended to me by a friend. Not having read any of his previous books, I was intrigued! Initially, I thought it was really good and useful but as the book went on, it felt like he had run out of a thought-process. Yes, the excerpts, etc are interesting/inspiring/challenging but most of them could have been said by anyone. In addition, the last two sections of the book were incredibly light of any rationale or basis - which was really disappointing based on the subject matter. Finally, when an author tells you to do your own research of a subject (as he does in the codependency section) - when the book advertises itself as 'tackling' it. That's a major cop out! Overall, unfortunately it isn't worth the money. As I said, I really wanted to get something out of this book but came away disappointed. Hope it is useful to others though.
