In Daily Glimmers, Bridget McNulty invites readers to discover small moments of joy hidden in everyday life. McNulty refers to these moments of joy as ‘glimmers’ and while they’re often overlooked, this book guides readers to notice the beauty in each day, even if you’re stuck in the same routine.

Daily Glimmers is well structured and organized into seasons, making it the perfect book to keep on your bedside table for whenever you need inspiration. These micro-moments of joy are simple, but they include spending time in nature, sharing a pot of coffee over brunch, and singing songs with friends.
This book reminds me of Neil Pasricha’s, Our Book of Awesome. But rather than listing small moments, McNulty includes small paragraphs and illustrations to go along with the glimmers shared. Both books capture a similar feel, which is appreciating and celebrating small moments in life.
While the concept is straightforward, I like how it’s focused on the practice of shifting your perspective and reframing daily habits rather than solely on positivity. I believe many of us can benefit from the reminder to slow down and appreciate the small things that surround us each day.
Whether it’s a smile from a stranger or a delicious first sip of coffee, noticing glimmers is a recognized mental health practice that goes a long way.
