Incredible.

Revisado: 12-30-22

I read this after the Gifts of Imperfection and Daring Greatly. Wow. Feeling inspired and clearsighted. Brown provides piercing truths that are both grounded in research and reality, and connect straight to the heart. Her work writes out the steps of how to thrive as a human being, how to create the deep connectedness we all crave. She provides the information on our emotional worlds that too many of us never learned as children, truths that seem so elusive without having experienced the proper nurturing early in life. She bravely shared tough personal experiences with the intimate steps of how she worked through them, and challenges others to do the same. I really believe that her work will empower so many to be heard, and to change our culture one story at a time.

good overall principles, could use broader stories

Revisado: 12-02-22

I am neurotypical with an Aspie mom, and it was nice to hear explanations for the frustration and exhaustion from the neurotypical child's side of the relationship. However, I will say that some of the details of Aspie behavior presented in the book seem to be describing one or a few specific people, so it would be nice to hear a collection with the experiences of multiple people to weave a broader picture of aspie+neurotypical dynamics. But considering the length there is a lot of great information here and the author clearly understands the neurotypical child's point of view. Also great narrator.

straight forward, useful, no bullshit

this is a list of downfalls people encounter in terms of emotional and motivational management with concise, practical, and specific tools to overcome them. I have read 25 self help books in the past 2 years and felt that this clearly articulated what many of them were trying to say. this is one of the better ones I have read, would definitely recommend

straightforward, realistic advice

Revisado: 11-29-21

I read "Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents" and loved it, and found this book to be a great addition and worthwhile read. While the prequel focuses on the nature and impact of emotionally immature parents, this book gives clear and practical advice on processing the damage that has been done and reclaiming your emotional autonomy. It does not sugarcoat anything but instead allows you to see the opportunities you have to meet your needs and change your circumstances. I felt that using this book to realize my options, rights, and needs was an important step in my healing journey.

great content, not so great narrator

Revisado: 09-05-21

This book was very well written and is full of thought provoking content for processing childhood trauma and deepening your understanding of your own emotions. Unfortunately the narrator did not fit and was distracting to listen to. It made the content more difficult to internalize, but overall I would still recommend this book.

A Short Historical Account

Revisado: 07-29-21

This book is a brief overview of the history of socialism. It was unbiased and offered no commentary from the author - which has its pros and cons. It lists the major leaders and examples of socialism, but provides little interpretation or discussion. I feel that I'm now more familiar with the names, places, and events, but would struggle to tell you what socialism is. I found myself repetitively feeling there was not enough context to understand why the listed events happened, why they are important to know about the history of socialism, and what they mean for the theory of socialism. I think if they added a concluding section that compares/contrasts the wildly different examples it would help the reader to understand what is inherent to the theory of socialism, which aspects of the examples were just cultural nuances, and what no longer can be classified as socialist. I wish the book would have just said whether 'socialism' has been completely redefined to fit the opinions of new thinkers, or if these were just different models of socialism.

Didn't know I could understand myself this well

Revisado: 07-20-21

I don't have CPTSD, but read this because my cousin has it and I have experienced my own parental trauma. In reading this I found the information incredibly helpful for my own personal journey towards self awareness and self compassion. I didn't ever think I could achieve this level of understanding myself and feel so much clarity that other self help books have not provided. This book walks the reader step by step through the mental processes that result from coping mechanisms and how to correct them. The information is straightforward, specific, and directly applicable. The author basically wrote out a therapy program that covers a variety of coping mechanisms. I'd recommend this to anyone with or without CPTSD because of the leap in emotional intelligence that results from it.

Incredible. well written and comprehensive

Revisado: 05-06-21

This book completely changed my perspective of modern global food systems. Each point was deeply researched and written into a comprehensive story of how our food systems operate. It was a good mix of statistical analysis and anecdotes of real peoples views and experiences. The conclusion was well written and leaves the reader with a clear picture of the issues with global food trade and a vision of how to change it.
