Worth it

Revisado: 03-29-25

My first Sally Rooney book and I feel that I’ve read something special, something elevated. Her writing is gritty and stark, while also being beautiful, intimate, and something akin to tender. She skillfully makes her characters knowable. I almost put it down after the first 20 minutes, I’m so glad I didn’t. It’s masterfully written.

Gets better at the end

Revisado: 09-20-23

It was charming, but I struggled to stay focused on the story. Maybe it was a bit boring; maybe it was the narrator's voice (sorry, Danny), or perhaps both. I didn't enjoy it until the last 90 minutes when the more meaningful parts were revealed. I'm glad I finished it, but it was painful, and I would have given up if it wasn't for book club.

What a ride!

Revisado: 11-15-21

This is an incredible story! I found myself saying "oh my God!" and "whaaattt?!?" throughout. It would be hard to take-in if it had not been told with such honesty, transparency and humor. The author lays his cards on the table. He's self-reflective and thoughtful, making this bizarre tale, very human. I'm pretty sure, you've never heard a true story like this one before!

Too much talking

Revisado: 05-11-20

Great effort but too much talking. It needs more silence and a slower pace to give me the chance to fall asleep. The breathing tempo was off as well and trying to follow it kept me awake. Voice and language were good, maybe others will find it more useful than I did.

Excellent, Smart, Useful

Revisado: 04-09-20

It's like having your own coach. Tara definitely knows what she's talking about, excellent guide for being yourself in life, not just for playing big, This book is for men and women of all ages. Practical information, wisdom, visualizations and practices. If you want to be motivated and are willing to do some work to develop and grow yourself, this is a good book for you. Don't be fooled by the bland cover, this is smart, on-target, material.

Not overly complicated

Revisado: 11-25-19

Excellent.
Full of valuable information and told in a way that’s easy to listen to and take in (albeit heartbreaking). Not dense or obtuse, but rather, full and engaging. Brilliantly written and well read.

The exercises alone are great.

Great book, teaches a lot. The experiential exercises at the end of each chapter are really helpful and smart.

Excellent, empowering information!

Revisado: 01-03-19

This book takes a critical look at the medical industry and broadens your perspective if you allow it. You’re not going to get a simple solution to eczema or psoriasis (because there isn’t one) but you are going to be armed with a lot of information to create a healthy life and body from which eczema will not exist. This was 1000 times more helpful than my dermatologist. Even if you don’t have eczema, this book is packed with information on how to create a healthy, non-toxic internal and external environment from which you can thrive. This book eased my fears and gave me a sense of relief about my awful eczema by teaching me 1. my body is not attacking itself for no reason and 2. I can heal myself through diet and lifestyle changes without steroids or other toxic medications.

Others have said it’s a conspiracy theory but listen and decide for yourself. To me, everything in this book made sense and rang true. It puts your health in your own hands in a safe and natural way.

Is it a perfect book with no faults? No.

Will it arm you with powerful information you can’t find in the mainstream medical community? Definitely.

Am I glad I read it? Hell yes!

Do I recommend it? Absolutely, 100%

A wonderful story, read beautifully.

Revisado: 09-29-18

A fun, detailed story about a young girl, her family and the growing up that happens when you see your parents in a new light. Joyfully read by the author.
