I re-read this after years of having it on my shelf ... I listened to the audio while following along and highlighting the "highlights".
The highlights were honestly more helpful than reading the entire book.
This book could have been 100 pages shorter, and it would have hit better.
The author kept repeating herself and chose to repeat the cringey pieces when she kept referencing her weight and finding a man. *her words, not mine.
Yes, the book is helpful when you take out her references to her personal life, but it was extremely challenging to distance her challenges with yours.
I was planning on regifting this book, but after re-reading it, I am not so sure I will.

Listened on audio. Really makes you focus on yourself in a positive way. Highly recommend this book. It will change your life.
This was genuinely awful. I am a therapist and I truly believe some of this messaging is SO harmful - especially the parts about just stopping worries, thanking people who have hurt you for the good they did, and the idea that everything happens for a "higher purpose". This is full of so much woo about energy, so much victim blaming and toxic positivity, and above all it is mind-numbingly repetitive and boring. The back section covers every topic in the book far more succinctly. Also, Kaiser covers her body image issues in painstaking detail (which could be triggering) and neglects other perspectives, editing her own story as well. She mentions drug addiction and depression without ever bringing in any specifics, and it makes this book feel super limiting as far as a specific audience. If you hate the way your body looks and like woo law of attraction s*** this might be for you. If you've experienced anxiety, any real trauma, or like science, don't bother.
The overall message of The Self-Love Experiment is to be kinder to yourself. Some takeaways include to stop denying yourself the things you love, and to reorganize your schedule so that you spend more time doing the things you are passionate about. This, in turn, will help you lead a happier, more fulfilled life.

absolutely some valuable insights and practical applications, but some parts were repetitive.
Couldn't get into it. I read about half of it and sometimes there were pearls of wisdom and things I could relate to but there just wasn't enough concrete stuff I could use in there to keep me reading.
