I won't recommend this book to people who go through self-sabotage tendencies. The rest was a little repetitive and more inspirational than resourceful. The first two parts were the most helpful to understand self-sabotage and learn about unhealthy patterns of behaviours. There's some parts of the book that felt empty as if the words were to fill the chapter instead of giving substance. I actually have a few pages with post-its on them. Overall, the tools and strategies she gave were fine. I believe she based most of her observations on experience, this is not to be diminished, but the book lacked scientific support. Some of it is from psycho-pop online articles and there's even one reference from a LinkedIn post. There's 24 references in total for her whole book and very few are scientific articles. I found that her facts were a little shaky and looking through her references, I could see why. She seems to have no education or training on psychology or therapy (I couldn't find anything on that). It didn't help that I saw this book glorified on TikTok because it set my expectations way too high.įrom what I've gathered online, Wiest is a writer and a poet. I figured I'd pick up this book to help with certain patterns and behaviours I've noticed through my professional experiences. I have a bachelor degree in psychology and i work with people living with eating disorders.
