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.
