Long story short, if you're a breathing human being living during these hard times, pick!!! up!!!! this!!! book!!!! If you just feel too much and can't seem to let go of the things hurting you, it's for you. If you are so tired of being too hard on yourself but don't know why and how to stop, this book is for you. This is one of the best books I've read in 2021 and that's a huge statement considering how I've been reading like a lunatic this year. It can be part of a balanced diet when you work on your perspective over food and then adjust your behaviours to fulfill your needs (biological and emotional).ĭo you ever finish reading a book and think "Where were you all my life?"
Harris to change your perspective on life instead of this one.Īlso, there's mentions encouraging diet culture when it is in no way relating to the subject. I believe that good old therapy works best and that there exists other self-help books that are way more scientifically approved. I won't recommend this book to people who go through self-sabotage tendencies. The rest was a little repetitive and more inspirational than resourceful.
The first two parts were the most helpful to understand self-sabotage and learn about unhealthy patterns of behaviours.
There's some parts of the book that felt empty as if the words were to fill the chapter instead of giving substance. I actually have a few pages with post-its on them. Overall, the tools and strategies she gave were fine. I believe she based most of her observations on experience, this is not to be diminished, but the book lacked scientific support. Some of it is from psycho-pop online articles and there's even one reference from a LinkedIn post. There's 24 references in total for her whole book and very few are scientific articles. I found that her facts were a little shaky and looking through her references, I could see why. She seems to have no education or training on psychology or therapy (I couldn't find anything on that). It didn't help that I saw this book glorified on TikTok because it set my expectations way too high.įrom what I've gathered online, Wiest is a writer and a poet. I figured I'd pick up this book to help with certain patterns and behaviours I've noticed through my professional experiences. I have a bachelor degree in psychology and i work with people living with eating disorders.
