It was hitting too hard, too close to home. I couldn’t get through the book fast enough for the library loan and it the content was weighing too heavy on me 😮‍💨😔 wanna try again when I have capacity to take it all in.

The "voices" used in the interview parts really threw me off.

I love Gabor Maté's talks but while this book shares a good deal of information, it got tiresome and dry with a lot of anecdotal bits. It just felt a little all over the place and like the same information could have been presented in a more concise way.
