Summary
Readers have called her work “life changing，” “pandemic medicine，” and “part of my daily ritual。” Oprah Magazine and the Today Show have featured her work for its timely， uplifting wisdom。 Now， Self Love Philosopher Melody Godfred shares her first poetry book， Self Love Poetry: For Thinkers & Feelers， a collection of 200 thought-provoking and heart-opening self love poems。
In Self Love Poetry， Godfred explores concepts like authenticity， surrender， resilience， gratitude， believing in yourself， and of course， love， through 100 pairs of poems， each dedicated to a central theme。 On the left side of the book are "thinker" poems that light up the analytical， more literal， left side of the brain， and on the right side are companion "feeler" poems that speak to the creative， more emotional right side of the brain。 Combined， the poems electrify the mind， body and soul through a completely unique poetry experience that inspires each of us to embrace all parts of ourselves。 This empowering poetry book will not only engage you to think and feel， but will make you feel seen， show you how to love yourself， and encourage you to seek out the hope and beauty in the world … and in yourself。 It’s the perfect gift for yourself or someone you love， especially after a most difficult year。

Received this book as a gift for my 19th。 A perfect read towards my own journey of self growth and perseverance in a life where perfection is expected of myself。 This book allowed room for ponderations and self navigation towards my own thought process。 As a person who holds on to words， it's my own double-edged sword。 I found comfort in the words， polishing it， making them my own set of affirmations。The writing style is unlike any other modern poetry books i've read。 Unlike many， this one is in Received this book as a gift for my 19th。 A perfect read towards my own journey of self growth and perseverance in a life where perfection is expected of myself。 This book allowed room for ponderations and self navigation towards my own thought process。 As a person who holds on to words， it's my own double-edged sword。 I found comfort in the words， polishing it， making them my own set of affirmations。The writing style is unlike any other modern poetry books i've read。 Unlike many， this one is interactive allowing me to potentially use both sides of my brains to fully grapple and understand each and every poem catered to its respective sides。This is definitely a 'pick me more than once' book， especially on a rainy day with a cup of coffee， but especially more on days where self-doubt stands knocking on my door。 With gritted teeth and clenched fists will I then answer， with this book in my hands。 Thank you I， for such a lovely gift。 A gift I can always go back to whenever， whenever。 。。。more

It’s hard to rate this little poetry book。 There are so many bits of wisdom and gentle reminders tucked inside the pages…wisdom that says， “you are worth attention and worthy of joy。” For that， I would give this 5 out of 5 stars。However， this is more of a collection of inspirational sentences rather than a collection of poetry， and I could not quite see past the glaring “the divine feminine universe and yourself are your saviors。” This does not line up with my life experiences， so I knocked the It’s hard to rate this little poetry book。 There are so many bits of wisdom and gentle reminders tucked inside the pages…wisdom that says， “you are worth attention and worthy of joy。” For that， I would give this 5 out of 5 stars。However， this is more of a collection of inspirational sentences rather than a collection of poetry， and I could not quite see past the glaring “the divine feminine universe and yourself are your saviors。” This does not line up with my life experiences， so I knocked the rating down a couple stars。Inspirational， yes。 Poetry， not really。 And I am not my own savior， thankfully。 。。。more

I really didn’t like this book。 I felt that there was no thought put into this book。 I felt myself getting so mad at how each poem had no thought put into them。 I could write better poetry。 Not reading any more books by this author。

I absolutely loved the format of this book。 The poems alternated between 'thinkers' and 'feelers，' which I thought was really cool。 They also connected; one poem would be from a thinker's perspective， and the next would be that same thing through the feeler's perspective。 I don't think I've ever seen something like that before， so it was intersting！Disclaimer: I received a gifted copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 I absolutely loved the format of this book。 The poems alternated between 'thinkers' and 'feelers，' which I thought was really cool。 They also connected; one poem would be from a thinker's perspective， and the next would be that same thing through the feeler's perspective。 I don't think I've ever seen something like that before， so it was intersting！Disclaimer: I received a gifted copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

It was nice to read this book throughout the past week。 I read it with my daughter。 I will forever be grateful for the connections we had while discussing the poetry。 My daughter and I are both Feelers。 My husband is very much a Thinker。。。。we had some deep talks about how differently people can view life

Melody's poetry hits you in the gut。 Her themes are universal and they are written in such a way that you are sure she is inside your head。 Every feeling， thought， and idea feels so relatable but it's said in the most eloquent， concise， and poignant way。 Reading one poem a day will make you feel like you just had the most soulful and fulfilling conversation with a friend who truly understands you。 This book is a treasure and I will be gifting it to all the important people in my life。 Melody's poetry hits you in the gut。 Her themes are universal and they are written in such a way that you are sure she is inside your head。 Every feeling， thought， and idea feels so relatable but it's said in the most eloquent， concise， and poignant way。 Reading one poem a day will make you feel like you just had the most soulful and fulfilling conversation with a friend who truly understands you。 This book is a treasure and I will be gifting it to all the important people in my life。 。。。more

I liked this book。 There were more than a few poems in it that really spoke to me， as self-love is something I have struggled with。 While I don't believe that I was the intended market， I found a lot of insight and thought-provoking sentiment within the book's pages。 I recommend this book。 There's a lot of good stuff here， and while I didn't love it， you just might。 I liked this book。 There were more than a few poems in it that really spoke to me， as self-love is something I have struggled with。 While I don't believe that I was the intended market， I found a lot of insight and thought-provoking sentiment within the book's pages。 I recommend this book。 There's a lot of good stuff here， and while I didn't love it， you just might。 。。。more

A great book to keep on your bedside table and read a few pages every night。 Even though some poems may sound a little obvious and repetitive， sometimes these words are all you need to hear。 I loved it！ * Thanks to Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing an advance copy。

Rating: 5 🌟 First and first， I'd like to express my gratitude to Netgalley for providing me with an e-ARC of this copy。 Without a question， this is one of my favorite poetry collections of 2021。The major concept of this poetry is SELF LOVE， and I love how the words were elegantly shown and poetry was created from it。 Furthermore， this book introduces a novel concept of thinkers and feelers。 Rating: 5 🌟 First and first， I'd like to express my gratitude to Netgalley for providing me with an e-ARC of this copy。 Without a question， this is one of my favorite poetry collections of 2021。The major concept of this poetry is SELF LOVE， and I love how the words were elegantly shown and poetry was created from it。 Furthermore， this book introduces a novel concept of thinkers and feelers。 。。。more

Self Love Poetry: For Thinkers and Feelers is a collection of poems， with each poem written twice: the first way for the left brain thinkers， and the second way for the right brain feelers。 I have never seen poetry written this way， and I found myself really enjoying it！ I'm more of a feeler， but reading the thinkers version was very eye-opening; it allowed me an insight into how they view the world， which I appreciated。 I would definitely recommend this for anyone who loves poetry already， as w Self Love Poetry: For Thinkers and Feelers is a collection of poems， with each poem written twice: the first way for the left brain thinkers， and the second way for the right brain feelers。 I have never seen poetry written this way， and I found myself really enjoying it！ I'm more of a feeler， but reading the thinkers version was very eye-opening; it allowed me an insight into how they view the world， which I appreciated。 I would definitely recommend this for anyone who loves poetry already， as well as for people who want to start reading poetry - it's a very versatile collection！ 。。。more

is a collection of poems about self-love and finding and deciding oneself。I found it very interesting and unique in the way it is written， since it is divided into two sections， one for thinkers and another one for the feelers。I enjoyed several of the poems and many left me pondering。 Although some others were a bit repetitive。 The poems were interesting， but they didn't wow me。I still recommend it for those who want to have a good time and reflect on themselves。3。5⭐ is a collection of poems about self-love and finding and deciding oneself。I found it very interesting and unique in the way it is written， since it is divided into two sections， one for thinkers and another one for the feelers。I enjoyed several of the poems and many left me pondering。 Although some others were a bit repetitive。 The poems were interesting， but they didn't wow me。I still recommend it for those who want to have a good time and reflect on themselves。3。5⭐ 。。。more

I liked a few of the poems， and was surprised to see that in general I resonated way more with the "left brain" poems that with the "right brain" ones。 The cover is also very pretty。 Sadly that's about all the positive things I have to say about this book。 Most of the poems very repetitive and didn't tell me anything I didn't already know。 My general opinion about this book is that I didn't like most of it and I certainly won't be reading it ever again。 I liked a few of the poems， and was surprised to see that in general I resonated way more with the "left brain" poems that with the "right brain" ones。 The cover is also very pretty。 Sadly that's about all the positive things I have to say about this book。 Most of the poems very repetitive and didn't tell me anything I didn't already know。 My general opinion about this book is that I didn't like most of it and I certainly won't be reading it ever again。 。。。more

Not every poem is going to hit you， but you're going to think about every poem because you're going to read it twice--once in a version that's inspired by the logical left side of the brain and next in a version inspired by the creative right side of the brain。 As you read， you'll feel a bit like your brain is getting a workout。This was a cool experience and I would definitely recommend reading it and then making all your friends read it。 Not every poem is going to hit you， but you're going to think about every poem because you're going to read it twice--once in a version that's inspired by the logical left side of the brain and next in a version inspired by the creative right side of the brain。 As you read， you'll feel a bit like your brain is getting a workout。This was a cool experience and I would definitely recommend reading it and then making all your friends read it。 。。。more

Thank you NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing， for the E-ARC of this book2。75 or 3。 I liked this book。 I found it was more like a mixed between poetry and a self help book。 I mean， it’s kinda basic but the messages in this book are important。 And I think， we forget them a little too much。 The only real mistake I did: Reading it when I’m feeling more neutral than feminine

This book had beautiful lines about self love from thinkers and emotionally sensitive person’s perspective。 I enjoyed each page of the book。 I definitely recommend this book to every one since sisterhood and self love can only save the world。

I love the idea that melody wrote this 2 and for her childhood self I feel like that is absolutely amazing and that's not something we see every day with an author 700 poems though is kind of ridiculous and then her idea of the left brain and the right brain is a very interesting concept this whole book is made to activate the whole brain experience not just the left brain are the right brain now you may be asking yourself what is the left brain and what is the right brain I didn't know there wa I love the idea that melody wrote this 2 and for her childhood self I feel like that is absolutely amazing and that's not something we see every day with an author 700 poems though is kind of ridiculous and then her idea of the left brain and the right brain is a very interesting concept this whole book is made to activate the whole brain experience not just the left brain are the right brain now you may be asking yourself what is the left brain and what is the right brain I didn't know there was a difference neither did I until she talked about the left frame bien for the thinkers and the right brain being for feelers carrying on so I put it all down home 10， I relate to so heavily， because you never know how much do how many burdens you're truly carrying， until you finally let them go， I love all of these， they are so personal， but can be directed to anyone， not just herself。 This is more of an inspirational self-help home book than just a book of tandem homes。 There is a poem in here， home number 40 about surrender， and the main question is fear or love， left side is fear bright side is love and palm 125 south care saved my body， say it self love saved my soul， I resonate with are on a very high high high level， you must read these poems， they will make you feel some type of way or think some type of way depending if you're a left brain or right brain， or like me both。 。。。more

A big thank you to Net Galley for providing me with a copy in exchange of an honest review。 While the thinkers and feelers concept was very interesting and something I have surely never seen before in a book， it was not accomplished by any means， to the point that it bothered me to see the change of font， as if anything was actually different。 The poems felt very plain， in fact， they did not seem like poems at all， but actually motivational quotes。 To be fair， I have seen better and actual poems A big thank you to Net Galley for providing me with a copy in exchange of an honest review。 While the thinkers and feelers concept was very interesting and something I have surely never seen before in a book， it was not accomplished by any means， to the point that it bothered me to see the change of font， as if anything was actually different。 The poems felt very plain， in fact， they did not seem like poems at all， but actually motivational quotes。 To be fair， I have seen better and actual poems on Instagram。 I do not think that the content could be labeled as Instagram poetry as well， because most of the content is literally simple sentences broken into two or three lines。 I could not connect with the content of this book and the poems lack distinctiveness and emotion， also are pretty repetitive。 Unfortunately， this poetry collection did not resonate with me， it did not left me with any emotion， it did not give me anything to think about。 。。。more

Thank you Netgalley for providing me with an eARC of Self love poetry。 This reminded me of the times I would reblog poetry on tumblr that was heart achingly relatable and powerful。 That is what this poetry collection is。 These poems are extremely empowering and motivational。 They put into words the pain of putting yourself back together and finding love in yourself。 Everything I strive to be has been cultivated into beautiful， lyrical prose and I’m grateful that I was able to read this。

This poetry collection has made it to the top 10 books of the year for me。 This collection was very inspiring and made me feel like someone else understands where I am coming from when I struggle with my anxiety and depression。 When you feel down and feel like nothing is going right for you I highly recommend that you pick up this uplifting collection of poetry and escape into a world that you might not know you need at the time！
