Part 1 of this book was exactly what I wanted it to be. Practical and evidence-based, but super approachable and easy to read. While I fully agree with everything in Part 2, it's just not what I was expecting or wanting to read. I felt a little bit duped, but it was still valuable information. Part 3 was especially helpful for me. That chunk would be really useful to work through in therapy. I think it would pair really well with Internal Family Systems and parts work, so I will likely revisit this book both personally for myself and professionally with clients.

This is my new "everyone I know has to read this" book. 

Audio was good, but also glad I own a copy that I can refer back to. They also have some built in worksheets to help process some of the topics discussed.

This book was different from what I thought it would be based on the title, and it had a lot of helpful reminders and insights about taking care of yourself in a socially mediated way. However, the authors completely lost me in the penultimate chapter with the inner "mad woman" talk. It felt very disconnected from the compassionate way that the authors had discussed mental illness in previous chapters. They even unwittingly compared the inner "mad woman" to a demon. The 19th century called; they want their stigmatization of the mentally ill back. 

Other than that, the science that they presented, other than the part about completing the stress cycle, didn't really seem that new or groundbreaking to me.
