Very enlightening. If even half of what she says is true, the Church of Scientology is more bizarre than I thought. I came away from this liking Leah.
Well written, well read audio book, eye opening topic. Wow.

From my knowledge of Leah Remini as an actress, she always seemed to me like she’d be a very frank, no BS type of person. After reading her memoir, I believe my suspicion was correct.
Leah does a great job telling her story with candor and honesty. She does not really care who she names or offends telling her story. I appreciate this about her, and I feel her story is one of the more honest tellings I have experienced. Listening to her story made me realize that Scientology is way crazier and more over the top than I initially thought. The oppression of Scientology in every aspect of her life is not surprising when you find out how cultish it is.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.

I'm feeling even more confused after reading this 🥴 It’s like, how does this all work? 🤔 I really want to wrap my head around the religion. I wasn’t bored at all listening to it; just trying to figure things out!
I've always wanted to like Leah Remini as an actress but couldn't get past her being a Scientologist. When I heard she left I was so pleased. Then she wrote a book about her experiences! Not only was it interesting, it was clever too! She has a great sense of humor, about herself and life in general. The book isn't only about Scientology. It also has tidbits of her life as an actress and the people she encounters. While I'm not a celebrity gawker, I did grow up a few years behind her and found the inside information interesting. Overall, I am impressed with her and her friends and family. I wish her the best in life.

A down to earth look at discovering who you are amidst the noise of the world.
I just finished reading Troublemaker a Biography book written by Leah Remini. I read the AudioBook published by Random House Audio. I borrowed this book from a library. I listened to this book on Libby. It is a stand alone book.
This book is a must read if you like: Biographies, self help, positive growth, and motivational books
"What I have slowly come to realize, and often still have to remind myself of, is this: there is no right way to be. I am flawed and imperfect but am uniquely me. I don't fit in and probably never will and I don't have to try to anymore. That other person was a lie and let's face it normal is boring. we all have something to offer the world in some way. But by not being our authentic selves we are robbing the world of something different, something special."
This biography starts in her childhood and grows with her through her healing process as she grows away from the church of her childhood.
I was expecting a very angry book, which this was not at all. Remini clearly describes her experiences in a passionate yet thoughtful way.
I loved the growth mindset of this book. It was a really uplifing read for me.
I haven't read many bios of people who escaped from cults, but I loved her strong stance on speaking for herself and others.
I loved the ending and how she discussed her healing process. This is extremely uplifting and enlightening.
I love Leah Remini's voice. And hearing these things in her own words was fantastic.
I devoured this book in one day and walked away feeling so uplifted and empowered. I had really high hopes for this book and it blew them out of the water.
