If it weren’t for Emma Johnson, Caryn Johnson would have never become Whoopi Goldberg. Emma gave her children the loving care and wisdom they needed to succeed in life, always encouraging them to be true to themselves. When Whoopi lost her mother in 2010—and then her older brother, Clyde, five years later—she felt deeply alone; the only people who truly knew her were gone. Emma raised her children not just to survive, but to thrive. In this intimate and heartfelt memoir, Whoopi shares many of the deeply personal stories of their lives together for the first time.

LOVE the author & her story!
Revisado: 07-31-24
It’s like getting to hang out with Whoopi Goldberg in my car everyday. I really don’t think I should have to say more but I will- her stories about her family are touching, relatable, occasionally heartbreaking, and often hilarious. You will feel every possible feel. And again: it’s Whoopi freakin Goldberg! Buy it immediately.

With heart-racing urgency and unflinching honesty, Jenkins takes you inside the grips of addiction and the desperate decisions it breeds. She is a born storyteller who lived an incredible story, from blackmail by an ex-boyfriend to a soul-shattering deal with a drug dealer, and her telling brims with suspense and unexpected wit. But the true surprise is her path to recovery. Tiffany breaks through the stigma and silence to offer hope and inspiration to anyone battling the disease - whether it’s a loved one or themselves.

Showing the human side of addiction
Revisado: 04-10-23
While this may be emotionally difficult for some people to read, as someone who has struggled with addiction issues for most of their life, I can confirm this book is an incredibly insightful look into the mind of an addict. Beyond the relatability of her story, I found it to be well written and delivered with a kind of authenticity that makes you feel like you’re chatting with an old friend. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is (or loves someone who is) struggling with addiction, but definitely have tissues at the ready!

Hardcore Self Help: F**k Depression is the follow-up to the best-selling F**K Anxiety. In this book I take the information, tips, and insights that I have gained as a psychologist and translate them into language that doesn't suck. This is the self-help book for people who don't usually like self-help books. In Hardcore Self Help: F**K Depression, I talk to you like a friend. That means I speak directly to you, without psychobabble. Instead I tell you why your brain is such a troll.

Life altering
Revisado: 09-27-19
I found this book after I discovered (and then binge consumed) the author’s brilliant podcast.
Right now, I am working my way out of my lowest and longest depressive spells to date. As someone who lives with GADD, depression and anxiety have slowly just become my “normal.” I now understand that it doesn’t have to be.
Dr Duff’s insight both in this book and through the Podcast, has been a game changer for me. I am now beginning the process of finding my own therapist (I’m an adult now, but my last therapist was one my parents picked for me and it wasn’t a great experience), which has taken me years to wrap my brain around. I also have new tools and methods in my arsenal to help me through those moments when it feels like nothing could possibly help.
I know I have a long road ahead, but I’m ready to start the journey and I owe a great deal of that readiness to this book.

Beautifully written, painfully accurate
Revisado: 04-14-19
As some one who carries the familial Alzheimer’s gene, and someone who’s mother is currently battling FTD, this book hits very close to home. The author did a beautiful job depicting what it’s really life living with memory disorders.

Her story in her voice is something I will enjoy listening to again. Made me laugh, and cry, and inevitably look back on their time in DC longingly.

Despite constant efforts to declutter your home, do papers still accumulate like snowdrifts and clothes pile up like a tangled mess of noodles?Japanese cleaning consultant Marie Kondo takes tidying to a whole new level, promising that if you properly simplify and organize your home once, you'll never have to do it again. Most methods advocate a room-by-room or little-by-little approach, which doom you to pick away at your piles of stuff forever.

Good practices and methods
Revisado: 02-15-19
The over all methodology is sound but this book almost seems more geared to single youths or retired empty nesters.
The idea of some of enacting some of the practices in a home with small children is laughable!
