I started this book a week and a half before leaving for a two-week vacation, and as I was reading this library ebook in my computer's browser the book did not come on vacation with me. When I came back home I wasn't in the same head-space, and decided to let this book go. I had completed the tasks/answered the questions set out in the first 2 (or was it 3?) chapters, and these few activities themselves were helpful, no matter that I didn't finish the book. The part where one investigates their own values was particularly eye-opening, and I think very helpful in removing some of the negative judgements I'd been holding onto about my own life. It was also therapeutic to write out clearly (and without over thinking it) answers to some of the questions about WHY I'm feeling the need for this book and what changes I hope to see. I suspect that the book would offer me even more useful guidance if I were to continue reading it, but I'm feeling content to ruminate on what I've got from it so far; I can always check it out again from the library if I need more help.
I am slowly making my way through my “want to read” list on here. I think I added this to my list in 2014? Either way, this isn't quite my vibe now, but it's well-written and I love Emily V Gordon.
There was a takeaway that I appreciated here: there are two types of ways people handle emotions. Like Vision, and like Hulk. I appreciated that.
