Come as You Are

I learned quite a bit from this book. It was informative and digestable, not to mention easily actionable, and I can definitely begin to see certain elements of my body in a new light now that I have been shown the tools to do so. What brings the score down is that I found the narrative stories a bit contrived and I got completely lost in all the metaphors (monitor, flock, garden, one ring, and so on). As a STEM girl myself I appreciate clarity over metaphorising everything, but I also understand some audiences may need the illustrative style.
