A Tribe Called Bliss

I bought this book in hopes it would help me attract a tribe of women. It is mainly for your CURRENT tribe.... which I don’t love. As a mom and adult it is hard to make new “Mom friends”. I didn’t get what I was looking for out of the book.

I respect what the author is trying to do! Truly - I am a huge fan of the self help genre and I was really hoping for something new and interesting that would create a breakthrough in my personal life. However...it's just not good. The writing isn't good, the format isn't good. No one is actually going to create these ultra-structured tribes. I feel like the book was marketed completely differently and not what I expected. It's the same rinse-and-repeat very basic step 1 self help advice I could have told you myself. If I could return it, I would.

I have big goals and I can’t do it alone. I struggled to make deep connections with women for the past five years. I never knew what to say, I was afraid of being judged.No need to stress, this book lays it all out for you.It’s meant to be read with your “tribe.” Together you will go through different topics and discussions. The book includes how to genuinely invite people, scripts of what to say and questions to ask. You’ll grow together but also individually as you have a safe space to share thoughts, ideas and challenges. Your tribe is meant to lovingly challenge, encourage and hold you accountable. This isn’t magic, you have to commit and put in the work.It’s fantastic that this book gives you a guideline to take action on. There’s a lot of books out there that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, but no call to action and you forget about it a week later. This is everything I have been looking for!

As other reviewers have said with 1-3 stars. This book isn't as described. You will not learn how to create new real connections. You need to already have a tribe. Instead, you're getting a poorly written self improvement book that lacks depth.I wasn't looking for a self improvement book so it felt like a bait and switch. I'd return if I could.There are WAY BETTER self improvement books out there that... The Four Agreements, A New Earth, etc.

I was really excited for this book - specifically because of the "scripts" it was supposed to have in it for speaking to other women / engaging in conversation / touching more than surface level small talk. Unfortunately they felt overly formal and inauthentic. It also suggests that you already HAVE a tribe, which for many women isn't their current reality.As always, there are some hidden gems scattered throughout. I enjoyed her challenging the thought of "normal" and reaching that milestone where she realized that her family life wasn't exactly normal after staying a week with her friend. Or how she realized that a lot of her behaviors were built into her family culture "The women from our family ALWAYS have a hard time losing weight".The book also suggests setting up a monthly "tribe" meeting sort of like a book club. Except each member only gets to share for a very limited amount of minutes and then expressly gets cut off. The framework feels overly structured (even for a Type A person) and lacks the amount of depth and connection I would expect to see from a tribe.I was really excited to read this because I had seen this book all over my social media feeds and noticed it even got endorsed by Gabby B. However, it didn't resonate with me in the way that I wanted.

I purchased this book thinking it was going to be similar to any other self-development book in that it gives you the inspirational kick you need along with the practical tools but it was so much more than that. This book was an overall experience. An experience of getting to know the author through the lens of her own perceptions of her struggles with relationships from childhood, an experience of gathering other women to build a tribe that empowers you to live your best life and an experience of getting to know who you are beyond who you thought you were. You are so much more than the roles you play in each relationship. She was able to deliver all of this in a light hearted way. This book made me laugh, wet my eyes and inspired me all at the same time. My group of mastermind ladies each have a copy and it has helped us to connect even deeper than we already do. It is a very fast and easy read because of how connected she helps you to feel with each word. This is a MUST on your bookshelf. The cover even makes a nice decor item, just sayin'. =)

This book is everything I've been searching for. I've cried, laughed, been overwhelmed with grief, happiness and excitement all while learning valuable lessons about how we can't make it on our own. We all need multiple soul connecting relationships for every aspect of our life in order to elevate ourselves to our highest self. Tribe and friendships are so important to the success of each and every one of us. The beauty of everything you learn in this extraordinarily written book is that you don't already have to have friends or a tribe because Lori gives you the tools to create a tribe of soul sisters from scratch. Never have I felt more connected with an author of a book than I do to Lori Harder. She is real, raw, passionate, inspiring, smart and beautiful inside and out. This is a must read over and over again book.

This book and Lori Harder has been such a HUGE blessing and life changing experience for me and my life. I just finished reading it alone and I'm restarting it now as I form my tribe. I've sent 2 books to friends as well and the tribe is forming! This self awareness, self love journey is a bumpy ride, but being able to have the tools to get through it and the how to build and maintain a tribe is beyond amazing. Great job on this book Lori and I can't thank you enough for all of the amazing podcast episodes you have created, I listen almost daily! You rock girl and I hope to meet you in person some day. 💗

I REALLY enjoyed this book. I don't have a 'tribe' in the way the book recommends (although I would love one).Still, I learned a lot. Lori's story of personal struggle is so powerful and the Seven Sacred Agreements are simply life-changing. All women (and men) everywhere need to be introduced to these concepts.Favourite quotes from the book:1. We can't do big work in the world without a little help2. A resentful person has no boundaries3. Whatever is on your plate got there because you said yes to itInspiring to read.

I’m glad a book has been written on this topic as it is so poorly covered. The book is ok, however for me it lacks depth & I’m not a fan of the overly femininised writing style & extra contemporary linguo. There’s also a tonne of swearing.

Great book. Working with a ladies group.

I have this book & I have the audio version and I love it so much! I keep re listening to it because what Lori is teaching is so amazing. While growing up it is very easy to become scared from friendships with woman. When you get hurt by other woman it is easy to decided that "they are all catty" or "there is to much drama". I found myself with a few close girlfriends but I was craving a support of woman who are on the same path in life as me. This book came out at the exact right time and my tribe was formed. It has only been a couple of month but I am so grateful for them and so grateful for this book. Thank you Lori! <3

I have read the Secret, I bought this for a book club that apparently kicked me out, and once i start i have to finish, this is very inspiring, yet it felt like it was missing the element or two, I would recommend this book to those with self confident issues, raise self respect, I was expecting this to be more of not only an inspiring story, yet to break boundaries we live with, to ground ourselves, heal ourselves, better ourselves to become a woman who looks in the mirror and damm glad she is this powerful woman, it needed more of these elements
