I found some parts interesting of this book however I really struggled to connect with the writing and the content for the most part. I struggled with connecting with the stories and experiences and felt that it didn't really focus on tips to help readers as opposed to the stories

This book prompts you to pause, examine, and ultimately rebuild the mental structures you’ve carried through life. Those structures may have once helped you survive and thrive—so much so that they feel like part of who you are—but a closer look shows that some now stand in your way. Although a few sections didn’t resonate with me, the book still delivers practical tools and insights that can spark genuine growth.

I feel a little conflicted about this book. On the one hand it’s interesting and really easy to read, but on the other hand it’s not that helpful in terms of practical advice or tips. Some things seem to be made to look quite easy - like moving to a different country - and with little consideration of the consequences for others. What we would do if we were all unapologetically ourselves is a good question, but whether these were the right things to do is another. A thought-provoking read in that sense. Thanks to NetGalley for the advance review copy.

This is the book I needed years ago! However, maybe the timing is just right. Heather gets it—and inspires as she writes about being oneself, just as one is. It's something I've always been striving for, and this book explains the importance of it and how to achieve it. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.
