    • 5/5
      Honestly much needed read for anyone. Especially if you didn’t grow up with good role models and had shame and guilt as motivators. If you want to stop being the victim of your mind and take back control and finally find sustainable joy and peace this is a really good guide. I love this monkey mind concept/metaphor it makes cognitive distortions so much easier to see and understand. I love all the real stories and real life application. I wish everyone would read this, as I imagine it would help everyone out so much

      This book is life changing. Kevin and Elizabeth are relatable to so many people I’ve known in my experience. Including myself and those closest to me. Read this and be free.
