Welcome to Litsy!

This was fine. I see why the people who recommended it to me did so--it has lots of great advice and points and observations and suggestions. I think this author is the most successfu of the "recovering career mom gurus." She's smart and sage.

Started reading this gentle book on my day off.

I was eagerly anticipating this book, and finally had enough space in my head to properly absorb it. As with Wintering, I found myself instantly connecting to author‘s experience. So many things I was relieved to read were not only my experience. Little connections in my head and heart that got tangled, and severed in the past several years. Now to ponder, digest, recollect and reconstruct.

3.5/5⭐ A clearly written, easy read on identifying emotionally immature people/parents, the effects those parents have on their children, and how to move past those detrimental experiences. The examples provided, while helpful, were extreme cases. The information could have been much more nuanced and balanced (the author has a prominent bias in favor of internalizers).

Took this metaphorically, so the word “therapy“ is not in the title, but, man, it helped me survive my last years of teaching with Covid + some insane parents. 😅

It was a rainy morning so I had the time to finish this book.

I‘m not sure whether it was me or the book, but I couldn‘t quite connect to it. Odd, as I absolutely loved Wintering which I read only recently.

This one felt less cohesive as a whole; more a selection of essays. It also felt quite negative, certainly more than Wintering, even though it‘s about finding the enchantment in everyday things.

Still a pick though, but a soft one.

A good read ! I was reading two others books along with this one. It was a good combination(unintentionally). Now I am near about finishing all three.

im currently at rule 7. this book is not an easy read. it is not easy at all to keep up with petersons rapid change from subject to subject. however, if you really try to understand this book by reading it slowly and carefully( it helps to keep a notebook where you write some ideas) its unarguably worth reading.it dives into complex matters and mostly phylosophical questions, whilst aproaching simple problems in appearance. ultimately a great book

Absolutely loved it. So many great tidbits on how to start/maintain great life long habits and how to stop those bad habits that are keeping you from your goals and potential.
