Like chicken soup for a battered and sad soul

Such a useful yet beautiful guide, it gently leads you to a place of healing without being overtly abstract or self referential. Thank you, it’s exactly what I needed.

The gentleness and humility by Susan herself

I liked the contextualisation, the of other writers, the skilled self-referencing, the accessible acknowledgement of relevant research. It is true beautiful. Thank you Susan 🪷🦋🙏🏻

A bit all over the place

This book spans 7 lessons and they are all over the shop theme wise. I think if one of the themes resonates then this could be life changing. I found it so so but will remember the themes and revisit when big challenges in life arise.

Terrible advise given with condescending voice

Waste of time and money. Hopefully this woman's voice and condensending attitude has you pressing stop. Unfortunately for me I continued and the advise/steps given here doesn't make you a stronger and better person. Weakness and airy fairy characters is all this novel aspires to.
