pickWell, this is quite an impressive trio of blurb-writers! Most of the book is dedicated to the definition and causes of a fear of success, and it's not really until the last chapter that Friedman gets to some of the (rather simple) solutions. Friedman is very Freudian in approach, but her book does give me some things to ponder, and not just the evolution of the self-help genre since the 1980s. A qualified pick.
Hello 😊
I'd like to share with you the book I wrote about abuse and trauma recovery.
ACE stands for Adverse Childhood Experiences. On a scale of 1 to 10, my score was 6 - which is considered high.
In Aces High, I share how I accumulated those ACEs, how they negatively impacted my physiological, psychological, emotional and spiritual health, and what I did to heal.
Please check it out and let me know what you think!

Camille's definition of success involves me lounging in such a way that I can pet her indefinitely, which is going well today so far. Even better, I refreshed the litterboxes today, so I am in her good graces for that bit of service, too.
“Good fortune and bad luck are always tied together with invisible unbreakable thread. When it comes to sorrow, no one is immune.”
Alice, like me (19 years in remission) and thousands of others, is a breast cancer survivor. A re-read provides a lovely reminder of what‘s really important.

My overflowing basket of bookmarks and...what I'm using as a bookmark.
Feeling down on myself a little today and Brene pulled me right out of my shit. I need to internalize all of her genius. If I remember nothing but “Be authentic”…can‘t get better than that 🥰
