This book has so much truth in it. The best “self-help” book I’ve read in a very long time! Love how she urges the reader to focus on themselves and what changes they can make to overcome their ‘mountain’. Live life to the fullest- not with many endeavors but being present, allowing emotions to come and go, and being responsive in place of reactive. TRANSFORMATIONAL!
This book is so thought provoking and forces you to dive into your inner self. This book is essentially cheap therapy if you're willing to do the inner work. The author was so articulate in the words they wanted to express.
