Bigger than Us: The Power of Finding Meaning in a Messy World

This book is Ferarne is a modern guide to spirituality for anyone wishing to walk the spiritual path and it is a great guide in my view. Thoughtfully and compassionately written, it is Fearne's special contribution to how we can live in the world, yet maintain our spiritual bearings. Also the book is beautifully made, as is appropriate for the wonderful material it contains. I feel that this book will truly resonate with anyone who reads it sensitively and with an open mind about spiritual matters.

I’m not a person who knows much about celebrities, I know of fearne from tv like most people who watched celebrity juice would do, but like many people who don’t follow celebrity culture and must admit most celebrity book I would discount before dipping in. But honestly, I’ve read nearly all of her books, not in order (which disappoints only myself) but I go to what one takes my fancy at the time, and this one by far is my favourite so far. She’s not out there trying to make money every which way she can with this happy place project, it’s a genuine organically grown business that she’s fully invested in, I think is just fantastic and good stuff comes from genuine interest, which is what she has.Love the podcast, love the books… love the book club! The books… They’ve been part of my journey to finding my happy and what makes me tick! Easy to read, easy to relate, easy to learn from.Well done Fearne look forward to the next one!

In her fourth book, Fearne Cotton explores that which is bigger than us. From meditation to mediums, there is something for everyone within whether you are a total sceptic, total believer or looking for something more.I have read all of Fearne’s books and I think Bigger Than Us is my favourite. I feel like I will go back to this one when I am looking for something to bring me back to centre. As someone who battles with day to day anxiety, I could really relate to most of the subjects and how they could help people rise above our worries and stress. It is also beautifully written which makes reading this book a pure joy.A criticism? I found myself disengaging within certain sections, but I think this is more to do with my state of mind rather than the book itself. Everyone will relate to each subject in different ways.So, I love Fearne and I can’t wait to continue following her love of life and finding the bigger picture. Also, near the end she mentions listening to the Fleet Foxes album ‘Shore’ which I went onto listen to and loved. If you choose to read Bigger Than Us, please listen to this album while doing so.

The book is based around spirituality, but that doesn't take away how incredibly, inspiring fearne cotton really is. I've now read all of her books, I was intrigued when I realised she had another book released so I didn't hesitate to buy it!from page one, fearne has you gripped like a kid being told a bed time story, you hear and feel every word. I love the fact fearne took a completely different route with this book compared to all of her other books, but it's a great dip into the what spirituality actually is and how deep it can be and how it can teach us in how to look at life through a different perspective.i also like the way she scripts what was said in interviews she undertook with people she has crossed paths with and how they have helped fearne herself.fearne is just a lovely, beautiful person inside and out (not having met her..) but seeing her on TV and reading her books, you can tell she loves, cherishes, and cares for her readers, people in her life and for life itself and its such a joy to read from her perspective and how she lives life with the handbrake off! (which we all need to do more often!)

I try ( like most people!) to absorb anything that might speak to my soul - whether it’s a book or a podcast relating to every day mental health or learnings around personal growth . A few years ago, I would have considered any conversation on such topics to be incredibly indulgent and without substance. Now I can’t get enough of it.Anyway, in what is an incredibly saturated area, this book is stand-out different. I read the first half in my first sitting and only put it down because I was reluctant to finish it so quickly.I think it’s easy these days to be “relatable” and reference all of the obvious changes we need to make. It’s in a hundred best sellers already.However, what Fearne does here is take a country mile step back, a massive breath, and look at it all holistically.The summarisation of everything we’ve heard a hundred times, but coupled with expert views and a much deeper - relatable and personal- dive, makes for a book I intend to read again and again. And probably again.And for the first time, a book I will not be lending to anyone! But will most definitely be gifting.
